The thing i have such a terrible time understanding is how people as poor as some of them are continue to defend the greed of a few.. Common sense tells us that the majority of the people, even on Propeller, aren't in the top 2 percent of the nations wealthiest, or even very well educated. Therein may lie the problem, education!

Good for him.
Although ... ... I came to this conclusion after coming to an understanding of Newt Gingrich's Revisionist Republican Party.
The George W. Bush Administration is simply the inevitable conclusion of what Newt Gingrich set in motion.
But as the saying goes ... "Better Late Than Never!" -

I actually wish that people like the former congressman would throw their support toward a third party. Neither the democrats or the republicans have the answers. We need at least a third voice to provide the electorate something closer to what they believe vs. choosing the lessor of two bad choices.

The neocons are not new and they are not conservatives. I like to think of them as psuedo-conservatives. And the people who were fooled by them and refuse to see them as tghe tolalitarian globalist that they are, are the neo-clowns.

This is very good news for America. Remember also, that Senator Mike Gravel left the Democratic party not too long ago. (You know, the hero that single-handedly fillabustered the vietnam draft, had the courage to release the pentagon papers, and repeatedly embarrassed Clinton and Obama on the debate floor, before they blacked him out.)

Mike Gravel left the Democratic party citing "work[ing] in tandem with the corporate interests that control what we read and hear in the media." And said the "Democratic Party no longer represents my vision for our great country."
Vote third party today.-
