Time For A New Party?
Expanding on a post by scoundrel concerning the possible effects on the ‘08 election of a Michael Bloomberg run for POTUS, Mark Tapscott blogs about the latest survey showing that in just 6 months, the Democrat Congress has hit a 10 year low in popularity and that the “moment may be approaching for an independent, trans-partisan political party, a citizens party…” because the low approval ratings for the Democrat Congress are not giving the GOP a boost either, which means people are finally catching on to the fact that the “culture of corruption” is bipartisan.
Jules Crittenden says “we can now officially call this a lame-duck Congress”. Well, yeah. Rasmussen says Harry Reid’s approval rating is at 19%. Yikes! Even Dick Cheney has an approval rating of 38%—-how (fast) the might have fallen.
ADDENDUM: Here’s the link to the Rasmussen Report showing Harry Reid’s approval rating at 19% (and other stuff).
Sadly until there is a real third party option neither party will give a hoot nor a holler about what the citizens of this country think. They know they have the party rubber-stamp voters support no matter what and so they both go out pandering to the special interests and extremist vote to push the over the top.
Also, thanks for the mention!

I share your cynicism scoundrel, but if history is any guide, some politician, either Dem or GOP will tap into the public’s distrust of the status quo and spin it to his/her advantage.
I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to see who that person will be.
Not that it will make much difference.
But still…..
