Zeitgeist
ParticipantPup,
I am afraid of third parties as a general rule. It did not work for TR with all his charisma. However, these are strange times and the right candidate at the right time could appeal to many people who are fiscal conservatives, but social moderates- liberals. If someone can harness the anti-tax power, that would tap into something very powerful. I always thought sdgrrl was a reincarnation of someone who was kicked off the boards, but the apology proves she is not. I am no genius, I just like to base arguments more on facts than emotion. I save up my emotional units for more important issues than political discussions. Maybe partypup should run for office. She has a good head on her shoulders, understands the importance of truth and knows how to use the media. What about it pup, are you ready to start a third party?

ParticipantI don’t think Obama is a fraud or a crook. I do think he is accomplished. He’s to the left of the average American. He is to the right of the average European.
I am not in love with any common political ideology marketed in the US today, but libertarianism is my favorite. Obama is far from a libertarian, but I’d prefer to have our top political leader be accomplished and somewhere between the average American and the average European in political ideology than incompetent and with political leanings exactly like mine.
My first choice is someone who is accomplished and who has political leanings like mine. But I wasn’t given that choice.

ParticipantMy first choice is honesty and intelligence. Both trump accomplishment, especially when so much is rigged now a days. I do not think the kind of candidates I like have been around for two+ hundred years. People like Adams, Jefferson, Lincoln and even Chet Arthur: “No man ever entered the Presidency so profoundly and widely distrusted, and no one ever retired… more generally respected.” Author Mark Twain, deeply cynical about politicians, conceded, “It would be hard indeed to better President Arthur’s administration.”
