What are the similarities between the reactionary left and right? They're both loud, insulting, negative, fear-mongering, ungrateful, impatient, radical conservative critics that want Obama to fail at any cost so they can set up their own dictatorship in the clouds.
Like the author, I am enormously relieved to be rid of Repugs and refuse to throw the baby out with the bathwater. I want to throw out the con Dems, not run off to a third party to let the Repugs in the back door.
Third parties, which are not immune to being taken over by Stalinist left wing cons as bad as Bushite right wing cons, ought to be joining the Dems or Indys, forming coalitions and helping to run con Dems out of the Party. Nader could be very effective as a Dem or Indy Congressperson for a long time instead of running for President every four years.
UNITY-PROGRESS RESPONSE
Oh great, now the US has to be one of a very small number of countries that have only two viable parties because there might be another Stalin waiting in the wings from Peoria or someplace. LOL.
New Democratic Party-US is a great way to try to save the US from extreme right wing and right wing politics:
--No one issue tag like the Greens have.
--No poisoned word: "Socialist" in the name.
--No wishy washy. I as the voter don't really know where you are coming from "Independent" in the name.
--Immediate credibility and some level of real assistance from existence and viability of the New Democratic Party-Canada, now in control of two of the ten provinces and controlling 37 of 308 Parliament seats, with influence far beyond what is suggested by that number of seats.
--Unintentional but welcomed counterpoint to existing Democratic party in the US, which would be considered more and more as the "Old Democratic Party". How delightful, because new is usually better than old.
