| Tea Party Citizens vs. the Republican Establishment |
How do you say "F- you!" to the Tea Party? Nominate a man for president that has made millions of dollars from bailouts from the federal government, is wishy-washy on abortion issues and agrees with 90% of Obama's foreign policy.
Then have him pick a VP that voted for all the bailouts, voted for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan (yet voted against providing benefits for veterans returning from the wars) and voted for every wasteful Bush era spending program (including the transportation bill with the infamous "Bridge to Nowhere").

That ought to do it!
When the policies and politics of both of the political parties are so incredibly divorced from the ideology of their constituencies, the country is NOT functioning properly.

From NF: I do wish we had another option for president, and another political party...
ReplyDeleteIf you run for president and start a new party, I'll vote for you. : )
@NF: Thanks, NF! :) A third party is desperately needed! People fear voting for third party candidates because they are told that the opposing party is trying to destroy the country and defeating them becomes more important. One idea I have is to require Democrats and Republicans to give one dollar to each of the minor parties for every dollar that they spend on advertising. That would allow the minor parties to get their messages out. The catch-22 is that the two-party dictatorship will not allow a third party to become a legitimate challenger. We would have to demand reforms to the election system to allow for that correction. But we cannot demand anything until we all stand together. And to each side, the other is the enemy. That mentality will cause our demise if we don't wise up.
