AFF, I’ll concede your point. Anger, fear, aggression; the dark side of the Force are they.
Anyway, back to the discussion. I think there’s a real opportunity for a third party to emerge in this country right now. Look at the number of independents. Look at what’s happened to conservatives within the republican party. Look at the votes for Ron Paul.
The Gen-X crowd doesn’t buy into the whole left vs. right Vietnam zeitgeist. It’s a bunch of baby boomer bullshit to us. I’m not sure how something like that would get started but I’d wager there’s a 50/50 chance there’s a major new political party competing for power by 2020.
If I was still GOP, I’d be really, really concerned about the future of the party right now. Short of diebold-style vote-rigging and voter suppression, it’s going to be a wipeout in three weeks. And I don’t see how it gets any better given the cast of characters in charge of the GOP.
