You Gotta Be Kidding

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the headline Boehner Hires â??Contractâ?? Architect to Promote G.O.P. Platform. They are really scraping the bottom of the barrel to hire the guy who wrote Contract with America,the biggest GOP double cross in recent history. The contract resulted in the hit we are taking now politically, economically, and socially.

â??By bringing the director of the Contract With America back to the Hill during this important time for the nation, weâ??re sending a message that Republicans are serious about listening to the people, building a principled and lasting majority, and renewing the drive for smaller, more accountable government,â?� Mr. Boehner said in a statement. :S2:

I would like to see more third party candidates to have an even playing field with election money. Then we would really get the variation and political coalitions to break the two-party strangle hold that keeps the country from moving forward. The only third party that is influencing things now are the so-called independents who really aren't independent, they just meander back and forth between the main two. We need Greens, Libertarians, and yes, Social Democrats and Christian Moralists to really get a true mix of what makes this country tick. Then we would really see change. :twocents:

Personally I hope the GOP continues living with there head in the sand. I would really like to see a new conservative party take the lead. The repubs haven't been conservatives for decades.

some of you may remember part of Newt's Contract on America was death for anyone caught bringing 2 oz's or more of weed across the border. :wtf:

I agree with both of you, we need large independent blocks in the Congress and an independent Commander in Chief and President. This binary system we have now is a system ripe for corruption. Each side rams thru a bunch of crazy sh*t as soon as they have a slight edge on the other loons in the other party. We need a bloc of Libertarians or, yes, Conservatives, anything but these useless dem and repub strains. :twocents:
