If there were ever a better time for a third party to pop up and knock off a few incumbents, I can’t think of it. Democrats are going off the deep end to pacify a small minority of their liberal fringe while ignoring the bulk of the JFK Democrats and presenting no plan to actually do anything.

The Republicans are spending like drunken sailors on shore leave and refusing to actually take a stand against the idiotic ramblings of Kennedy, Murtha, Pelosi and Reed thereby pissing off their conservative base.

All it would really take would be a well financed party with the ability to stand up and take a solid stand backed by facts to strip away a number of voters from both parties.

Things like:

cut taxes to stimulate growth,

cut spending to keep the deficits down,

hold schools accountable and close or revamp those that aren’t making the grade,

make welfare and other handout programs dependent on increasing education and getting a job,

CLOSE the Border.

Develop an amnesty program for illegals here with very limited parameters (French model works for me, 6 years of honorable active military service) and jail or deport any who refuse to comply. Most will leave voluntarily once they realize that the immigration laws are going to be enforced and they can either leave voluntarily with all of their possessions, or be deported with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

Jail any illegal caught entering the country for 6 months BEFORE deporting them. Illegals in the Maricopa County,AZ jail for conspiring with a coyote to be smuggled into the US have stated that they never expected to be arrested. They simply expected to be deported and be able to try again the next day. Had they known that being caught was going to leave their families without income for no less than 4 months, they would’ve reconsidered their decision to break the law. Border Patrol agents tell stories of catching and deporting the same illegals multiple times a week. It would save a lot of time if we simply threw them into a tent city type holding facility down by the border. More would be caught because the Border patrol wouldn’t have to chase the same invaders on a daily basis, many would decide that the financial hardship of being caught wouldn’t be worth it and stay home, and once deported they might be a little less likely to try again. If all else fails, they’d at least only be out there causing problems for the Border Patrol on a semiannual basis. BTW the laws already allow for detaining illegals for 6 months before deportation, all that Congress would have to do is authorize the money to build and staff the facilities.

I could guarantee that violent crime in Phoenix would go down while these illegals were cooling their heels in a detention facility.

Hmmm, I wonder if we can get at least ONE of the parties to adopt these suggestions and actually act on them. Naaah that might make too much sense.

Let’s hope that when the fall comes they finally get off their high horse.

The Dems will fall bigtime next election. Not that the Republicans are so great. But the Democrites leave little choice for the rational voter.

I also believe that if more politicians played like him there would be less hostility and maybe, just maybe, more progress.

Streisand and Soros are fools and you know what they say about fools and their money!!:mrgreen:
