Denny's D.C.

Where was it ever written that we all have to order our political meals off of some idiotic blue-plate special? That, folks, more than anything else, is what truly bugs me about politics/political parties. I mean, it's almost as if they want us to literally stop thinking, for Christ!.................................................................................................I mean, just take a look me, for example. In areas such as civil liberties, social issues, and military matters, I'm probably about as liberal a voter as you can get. I obviously couldn't be a Republican (well, at least not in this current environment). But, being that neither could I possibly swallow stuff such as "card check", the stimulus package, and various aspects of the health-care and "cap and trade" legislation, it's also fair to say that I wouldn't necessarily feel all that comfortable as a Democratic operant, either.................................................................................................If you're really wanting to know my opinion here, I'm thinking that this country of ours is in absolute/dire need of a viable third party - a place, folks, where the Paul Tsongases, Warren Rudmans, and saner versions of Ross Perot could find at least a modicum of comfort and, Hell, maybe even a solution or two, too.
