That is a risk. Many of the Founders were wealth landowners ~ is that a surprise?

We'd have many more viable political parties through the simple expedient of requiring list voting for all the members of Congress in a state.

...I don’t expect the Tea Party to hold together...we don’t understand racial solidarity or class solidarity very well...OTOH Blacks/Union/Jewish/Felons/Illegals know how to stick together...they give the Dems a “hard 20%” of the vote and that Hard 20 is all you need to win.

Actually, the Tea Party gives "conservative" candidates a solid base...but unfortunately the republican party is only peripherally interested in running conservative candidates.

No one says the wealthy can't become poor, or that they can't write.

Many poor people write quite well, and do so in the hopes of becoming wealthy people who can write well.

The point I made has to do with the effect of the single-member district on our party structure.

That's an effect of this process:
 
1. Ideological subversion is the process which is legitimate, old word, and open. You can see it with your own eyes.  All American mass media has to do is to "unplug bananas" from their ears, open up their eyes,  and they can see it.  There is no mystery.  
 
It has nothing to do with espionage. I know that espionage intelligence gathering looks more romantic.  It sells more deodorants through the advertising.  That's probably why your Hollywood producers are so crazy about James Bond types of films. But in reality the main emphasis of the KGB is NOT in the area of intelligence at all.
 
According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.
 
It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.
 
The first stage being "demoralization"....
 
---KGB Defector Yuri Bezmenov, circa 1984

The GOP is just feeding the public what it has been conditioned to consume.

No, my position is completely consistent with my historic stand regarding how the major political partieswork.

You can go research that ~ I have provided thousands of pages of basic political theory on FR.

Robbin, the point of my post was that I will vote for the best candidate in any race, period. I would hope that there would be at least one true conservative choice. If not, if the choice is a socialist vs. a RINO, then RINO it will be. I will not sit at home on my behind if my one vote will move the needle even a smidgeon to the right.

Would I vote for McCain again? Perish the thought, but yes, if it were McCain vs. Obama again, I would. McCain is a terrible choice, but worlds better than the man who got elected.

Sitting it out is simply not a choice, not for a patriot, for someone who loves this country and sees what a mess it is in. I will vote for and work for the best available candidate.

Whoopty doo. Wallpaper the Ivory Tower with it.

Got any research relevant to the historical manipulation and enslavement of the sheeple via the Oligarch's Apparatchik elite?

Sorry, your picture does not convey the most powerful sort of tyranny in history ~ the category called "the hydraulic kingdom". Everyone's life depended on an allocation of irrigation water. Without it you simply died.

The Aztecs were pikers compared to Mesopotamian cities and Nile civilization.

Ameriquest? Worst company I EVER worked for. Took me four months to figure out just how evil they were, and I was gone. They were more of a criminal conspiracy than a legitimate business. One manager thought Boiler Room should be a training film.

Yep.

Good move.
It is incumbent upon the honorable craftsman

as a means to accomplish evil ends -

While I was there, one branch in California was “caught” falsifying APPRAISALS!! Think about that — you’re not just screwing the company and the borrower, but the investors and the market with that one!!
