So, I'm watching the news yesterday where Evan Bayh says that he wants out of the Senate because they're not doing anything. Dems vote 91% on party lines, Repubs have threatened fillibuster 100 times....40 times more than their previous high.
HIs solution is to replace all the senate....which would be fine w/me. But the more I got to thinking about it, the more I realized it wouldn't change a thing. I consider myself more or less a centrist. There are things from the R's that I'd like to see get done and there are things from the D's that I'd like to see get done. The problem is, I'm more frightened of the radical wing of the R's than the radical wing of the D's. So when I go to the polling station, all other things equal and knowing how much party line plays into things, I'll check the D box. I have a feeling that many people are this same way. I just don't see a valid centrist third party as an option because it seems in order to organize like that you really need to be passionate about an issue.... What's your take? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
