If a third party suddenly went mainstream and got national footing, which one would you want it to be?
I doubt the Tea Party will form it's own party. They are pretty much just an extension of the GOP anyway.
I picked other. I want a party that is pro-American,pro-bill of rights,opposes amnesty, opposes unrestricted immigration,opposes granting visas to countries we have the most illegal immigration problems with, opposes outsourcing,opposes any trade deal that costs Americans their jobs, opposes worker visas that are used to undermine the wages of Americans, opposes multi/bilingualism, opposes dual citizenship,opposes anchor babies/birth tourism, supports minimum wage,supports raising tariffs on imported goods in order to give American companies equal footing, opposes abortion unless it is to save the life of the woman,supports the 2nd amendment, opposes the government spying on Americans, supports mandating English as our official language and English only for our government functions, does not deep throat cocks of businesses or has their lips on the anuses on business owners(republicans in general and even some democrats are notoriously known for being in bed with businesses),opposes eminent domain(unless it is for PUBLIC roads),supports ease of access only for utilities like water gas and sewer, and does support a social program or two.
I used to attend Libertarian party meetings. They are as predictable and mindless as are the two major parties (Ive attended caucus for both of them as well). Its not at all uncommon to hear "you cant believe that and be a 'real' libertarian."Have you ever been to a Libertarian Party meeting? Do you have personal experience with the party itself or is your experience just primarily with asshats on political forums who label themselves libertarians but supported Mitt Romney in 2012?
I, however, have had experience with the party. I consistently attend local meetings, and state meetings. I even attend national meetings and I can tell you from personal experience that we are united and all, save a few, share the core tenants of Libertarian philosophy.
My beef is with the Republican "libertarians", of which are basically fake libertarians trying to rope people into continuing to vote for the party. Don't mistake the Randbots for Libertarians.
The present day Republican Party is pretty much the Constitution Party in all but name, perhaps what the Constitution Party should do is change their political leaning to the old Reaganite Republican Party so it could go mainstream.I'd want it to be the Constitution Party so that right-wingers would have their votes divided between the Constitution Party and the Republican Party, therefore allowing the Democratic Party to win more elections due to the divided vote and forcing the Republican Party to become more moderate.
I do not agree with their stance on S.S.,welfare, domestic aid,and minimum wage
I think the two parties (Reps-Dems) have made the elective process, so complicated, involved and financially exorbitant that there may never be any competition, that doesn't get absorbed by necessity.
Really? Hampering civil liberties? Justifying imperial ambitions? Butting their way into the bedroom? Loving big money?The present day Republican Party is pretty much the Constitution Party in all but name,
I bet Iran Contra is really what the founding fathers had in mind when writing the constitution...the old Reaganite Republican Party so it could go mainstream.

None. I don't believe in voting for someone just because they are in X party. As far as i'm concerned if they made an amendment to the constitution banning being a part of any political parties I'd be all for it. A person should be elected to office based on past actions and personal merit. Not on party affiliation or the lies that they tell when running for office.

Exactly, I agree whole heartily. You got my vote. I am all for getting rid of what the found fathers and framers called factions. Getting rid of those who put loyalty to party over loyalty to country, the good and need of party over the good and need of the nation. Right on my friend. Sign me up.
:agree: You can sign me up, too! I can't believe that a group of our "servants" can get away with what they're doing in DC! Exempting themselves from the laws they make that we have to follow; voting to give themselves a raise when they want one; only working basically part-time at a very highly paid six-figure job; giving themselves free perks like preferred parking, and then topping everything off - putting party over country! What arrogance, and those of us who pay their salaries are supposed to like this? We need to get this turned around now, if it's not already too late! There are a lot of hard working people in this country who don't enjoy the benefits that the people who supposedly serve us have given themselves. Rome fell for much the same reason - shall we follow them? :no:
Greetings, Pero. :2wave:
That is the way it is, congress regardless of which party controls it will exempt themselves from the very laws they pass 95% of the time. As ofr raises, several years ago congress passed a law which automatically give them their raise unless they vote it down. They did this so the voter would not realize they are getting raises every year. They have the best health care and pension available.
The only thing that consoles me is believing that the universe is fair and balanced, and the current state of affairs won't continue, because it's wrong. I'm not sure what the flash point will be, but there will be one, and that is almost guaranteed! Things have gotten too far out of whack to expect otherwise.
