HYPERPARTISANSHIP

This speech to the Alabama League by John Avalon resonated with me. His accurate breakdown of the Blue State/Red State map is telling. His description of the political manipulation by the media (minutes 9:35-11:00 of video 1) is dead on.

I am proudly Independent and hold in extreme contempt, both the GOP and Democratic parties. I long for a third party; moderate, fiscal conservatives with a social conscience.

If, as John Avalon states, Independents are on the rise nationwide, then there may be hope yet to save the United States from the extreme wingnuts on both the left and right and return this country to the greatness it once was.
