It's by no means imperative, but it certainly is reasonable to conclude after watching Democratic Party leadership that the Democratic Party leadership is more interested in its preservation than in the pursuit of liberal and progressive political goals. It is therefore reasonable to conclude that support for a third party may be the best avenue for the promotion of liberal and progressive ideals. If you find yourself in this position, don't be shy. Be honest and forthright in sharing your conclusions, and begin the open national discussion that has been stymied by the dominance of two parties.
Design of the Month: Romney-Ryan for the 1% bumper sticker
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is the man who says that corporations are people and that he's going to help... "people." Meanwhile, Governor Romney says he doesn't worry about the very poor. You know, the ones who are actual people. Romney's running mate, Paul Ryan, says straight out he's going to cut retirement funds for widows through social security, he's going to cut health care for your grandmother, and he's going to to use the proceeds to give the rich another tax cut. Are these your values? Heck, no. They're the values of the one percent that's already doing just fine, thank you very much. Express your disdain with this Romney-Ryan for the One Percent bumper sticker on your car.
