I what do see is a very good reason for the emergence of a new 3rd party because the other two parties just don't GET IT.

Sad but true...It's going to happen. I don't know when, but it sure enough is going to happen....

Be careful what you wish for. The Dems will NEVER work to proactively address this issue, so a party split at this juncture could very EASILY result in another eight years of Clintoon - and her husband. These are crucial issues, but need to be worked at from the inside out. I would think it would be wiser to make your elected GOP officials realize what is important outside of the Beltway. Unless the Republicans completely blow it (unlikely but an outside possibility), there are so many other issues that need to (and can be) addressed. We need to learn from our 1992 mistakes - a third party would have little power inside the Beltway, and the Dems get back the leaderships by default.
