Agree with you here as well.

If there is a "revolution", it will be a slow and painful one.

He's  making a concerted effort to keep the Republican Party at arms length.

How close are we to breaking the two-party stranglehold? Could this be the start of the revolution? What we really need is a NO party system.  

I don't think there will be an end to the two party system as long as our government is structured as it is; we'd have to change to a more Parliamentary system like England in order to allow for a truly workable multi-party system.

Realistically there is a slow revolution coming if hasn't already started.  The Democrats are evolving into the Socialist Party that they are.

The Republican evolution is a little more convoluted I think and it's made more so, ironically, by the two-party system that we have in this country because of conflicting ideologies within the loony right, right, the center-right, and the libertarians (little 'L').  There's also the X-Factor of the independent-minded 'Tea-Party' movement.  I really don't know what it will evolve into quite honestly but in my opinion the fractured, factious state of the Republicans as I now see it cannot be successful.

In the long run I think the Dems and Repubs are both to be doomed to their respective, loony fringes and the Independents will become the only majority which will probably be a good thing.  Just my prediction anyway...

*Edit: when I write "Independents" I do not mean a third party; my meaning is general; no party affiliation in other words.*

Agreed.
...


I'm stunned that we actually agree on something.  Obviously the iPhone is causing some kind of influence on my brain.

Btw, I used "Walt Kowalski" as my avatar for a while too...definitely the damn iPhone.

I'd have never believed it in my lifetime either Tiger Wench. 
At least this win will restore some checks against these socialists running amok in Congress.
This is a stinging defeat for Chairman Maobama, Pelosi, and Dingy Harry Reid.  Now things get really interesting!

This is hard to believe. In a country where everyone but us idiots fell in love with the dims, how could this happen?

Maybe it will now start to sink in that this country did not embrace dimoctrats, but rather sent a message to the republicans.

Now that the message has been sent, the one's who sent it are wondering what the hell they let happen.

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.
