If Democrats are the problem, and Republicans have become enough like Democrats to become part of the problem, is the Tea Party the solution?
The history of third parties in America includes two tragedies. Teddy Roosevelt's third party run in 1912 gave us Woodrow Wilson, the Federal Reserve Act, the Income Tax and took a huge step toward turning our Republic into a democracy. And Ross Perot's Reform Party gave us Bill Clinton. Most Americans do not know that FreeRepublic formed the backbone of the Republican House that made the impeachment of Bill Clinton possible, but there are a lot of Freepers still around that know and remember. I hope those who do will give us a ping.
If Republicans are not the answer, and if third parties are not the answer, what is?
Ten second soundbytes, "It's the economy, stupid," or "We stand for change," can win presidential elections. But it is going to take more than a ten second soundbyte to understand how WE the people can take our country back and restore our lost freedoms.

Plenty true.
Though . . .
NOT quite what I was expecting from the title:
CLOSE ENCOUNTER.
in 1997, the measure again failed by a single vote in the Senate when newly elected Senator Robert Torricelli (D–NJ) broke his campaign pledge and refused to support the same BBA that he had supported as a House member
There is a blast from the past. Actually, I have those in my shoes now - they stop my feet from hurthing when I stand for a long time.
The Republicans were a 3rd party and brought us Abe Licoln withe 39.8% of the popular vote.
Very educational. Thanks. I don’t know what the heck we need to do! We need to get the constitution restricting their power and money back or nothing else matters.
Too bad that the vast majority of libertarians do not realize that Western Culture’s demand for self regulation in the name of honor and basic morality, goes with free markets. Otherwise, you have amoral banksters making destructive and dishonest deals with Clinton and Rubin to drop loan standards in order to “equalize” home ownership for race quotas. This in turn, crashes the housing market...and so we are here.
People who are uneducated in Western morals and ethics - the right way to handle oneself in a free society - are people who are soon victims of their own immorality and who are demanding the economic Marxism that naturally goes with the Libertarians’ social Marxism.
OUTSTANDING! Thanks, Vintage Freeper. (I did not know that).
Remember that the House Republicans also backed away from their stated intention to abolish certain House committees because the new chairs wanted to exercise the power that came from being a committee chairman.
God help America. Remove the evil plans made to bring America to a dictator. Tyranny of the minority in the guise of political correctness is strangling America. Bind all programs meant to hurt freedom. In Jesus name. Thank Thee LORD. Amen.
