grumpy; the math works like this, palestinians aren’t in the teachers union and don’t contribute (bribe) to our democrat pols, so a good idea is a good idea. but here, a good idea is anathema to the union/dem position of “how are you going to keep em down on the farm, once they have seen the big city.” how can you keep the minions reliant on the gubmint if they become educated and employable.

Hmmm…let’s see…a million dollar scholarship for Palestinian students, and reduced access to school choices in D.C.

For some reason, I can’t seem to make the math work.

When the Whigs went out of business a Marxist wasn’t in the White House with the goal of destroying representative democracy and establishing permanent one party rule.

Establishing a viable third party that actually wins elections will give the Demonrats plenty of time to put fellow travellers on the Courts, cook the books on the census, make voter fraud ever easier.

I’m not sure even if the Republicans did get all their crap in one sock and had a majority of the country support them in 2012 or 2016 that the damage won’t already be built into the system, and the Dems will hold power through election fraud. Not to mention Obama is well on the way to building a permanent non-tax paying majority that receives government support on the backs of the tax paying minority.

You may be right about Perot. He had ties to Arkansas, and an animus to the elder George Bush.

Just a difference of opinion. I think we may be screwed either way, barring a military coup to topple Obama once it is even more apparent he has no loyalty to the Constitution.

[...] Case in point, the Omni-pork bill just passed the Senate and is on it’s way to President Obama’s desk. The Child in Chief has already signaled his intention to sign this massive spending bill. He’s blaming it all on Bush. How convenient. I’d love to say no Republicans voted for the bill, but I’d be lying. [...]

Ed, only about 22-23% of voters are registered as Republicans. The GOP was a 3rd party itself when it put the Whigs out of business and the Whigs had a bigger constituency than the GOP does now. Even Greenspan in his book “The Age of Turbulence” bemoans the “stand for nothing” GOP and argues that there has never been a better time for a 3rd party challenge.

The viability of a 3rd party is mainly a mental problem with people who have limited imaginations. The GOP is already a failed partym the Dems only have 39% of registered voters and many Dems are also unhappy.

And BTW, Ross Perot could have won in 1992 had he not temporarily dropped out of the race when he was actually ahead. He didn’t want to win.

IMHO, by the time a third party would be in position to do anything other than act as a spoiler and even further strengthen Demontatic majorities in Washington, The Obammunist, Pelosi et al will have destroyed capitalism in this country and very possibly have destroyed our small ‘r’ republican (representative democracy) form of government. America could easily wind up a one party state ala Venezuela or Zimbabwe, with sham elections.

About a third of the Senate Republicans seriously suck, target them for primary defeat, don’t run another Ross Perot who guaranteed eight years of Bill Clinton.

I will not give any more money to the national GOP, but I will send what I can, though rather limited, to conservatives like Toomey (if he runs), who would kick the most egregious RINOs like Specter to the curb.
