Victor Davis Hansen has a new column, in which he gives us his valuable insights into current events. He notes that in 19 months Obama has blown a 70% approval rating, and is now headed under 40%, which George W. Bush took six years to get to.
Yes, the "proverbial" people are angry. I, for one, as someone who prides himself in being an independent thinker and actor, do not feel represented by either political party. Although the time for a third party may be right, the problem with starting a third party, though, is that, as Fred Brown writes in today's Denver Post, "centrists don't have much passion going for them." The Republican Party is being led to its fringes by the passionate participants in their primaries, and the Democrats, under the finger of puppet master George Soros, have long since gone over the left cliff.
Those of us who find ourselves being left behind by both political parties, are scolded by those who have blindly followed and cheered on one or the other of those parties as they lost relevance. Yet, will third party candidates like Tom Tancredo articulate a positive platform in which they tell us what they are for? Or, will they, as Brown believes, tend to be defined by what they are against, rather than what they are for?

This is extremely interesting to me Bob, because I feel quite the opposite. I don't think the Repubs represent me precisely because they cater to the centralists. I'm am not one. I feel displaced as well but for different reasons.
