Could GOP "extinction" and Obama's Policies Help CP?

07/28/2009 Could GOP “Extinction” Along with Obama Policies Lead to Rise in 3rd Parties? Lancaster, PA (July 28, 2009) Noted pollster John Zogby’s recent commentary that the Republican Party could disappear as a viable national party comes on the heels of polls showing widespread Republican dissatisfaction with the GOP along with an unprecedented falling away by Republicans bringing the GOP down to its lowest level in a generation. That, along with recent polls showing President Obama’s declining approval rating shows Americans may be ready to consider looking outside the “Big Box” parties. Zogby asked: “Will the Republican Party go the way of the Federalists and eventually disappear ... the Federalists were a major party, but faded ... by 1820. It may be hard to imagine that after more than 150 years of existence, when Republicans have held the White House about twice as often as have Democrats that the GOP would disappear. Republicans (and Democrats) have been shut out of power in Washington in the past” (emphasis added). Constitution Party National Committee Chairman Jim Clymer said “As Mr. Zogby noted, “major” parties have come and gone before and can come and go again, like the Whig party which faded into obscurity because it ignored its base. Those who favor a return to Constitutional limits on government have had it with both major parties and many are working to usher in parties they agree with more.” The Constitution Party is the only federally recognized party whose platform conforms with the U.S. Constitution’s well-defined role of the Federal government and its limitations. 2008 Constitution Party presidential candidate Chuck Baldwin received the endorsement of former Republican presidential candidate Congressman Ron Paul (R, TX) consistently rated the only 100% constitutionally sound member of Congress. President Obama’s push for socialized medicine, spending for unconstitutional wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, along with tax payer “bailouts” of private industry have caused even former supporters to react with alarm. New York Daily News columnist Michael Goodwin wrote, “...Blind infatuation is giving way to a more accurate view of reality. The reality is that polls show rising doubt about President Obama’s handling of the economy and wide disapproval about exploding deficits. The reality is that even many Democrats worry the White House health plan is messy and unaffordable. The reality is that ranks of independents who voted for him find Obama far more liberal than they expected....It’s also true that many news organizations have embarrassed themselves with fawning Obama coverage and are the subject of growing ridicule.” (emphasis added) ”It’s not too early to look ahead to 2012 and a way to begin to heal the wounds both parties have inflicted,” Clymer added. 07/28/2009 Could GOP “Extinction” Along with Obama Policies Lead to Rise in 3rd Parties?

If they could get a grasp on the reality that both parties are bought and paid for, it could help. One blast of reality of where this country is headed would anger Americans enough to make a difference. Auditing the fed would provide this. I am still waiting for Butterfly to tell me how much the bailout total is. Conversation needs to remain open. If you don't agree with me on some vague item, I am not going to reject you for it. But this arguing gets us nowhere. And that is the motive of government today is to keep us divided and a divided populace can be conquered, but slowly. Keep the giant sleeping and arguing among themselves. |
