Almost for sure a third party will
arise in the new world USA
To me it kind of humorous, that is
all the talk about this effort by so many in the USA. This effort includes the
proponents of the status quo defining this third party effort in current times,
and even getting reported as the news. I hear the term Tea Party, and that they
are racists...wrong on both counts. So even our main stream media is failing
us, in my opinion.
Now in my experience, most third
parties fail because over the last century they have tended to be based on an
individual, and his money raising ability.
But this time the third party effort is more based on an idea, and that
may persevere in terms of raising money. And really money is not all that is
important when compared to an idea worth voting for, or even fighting for if
that is what it takes. The Whig Party went away, and so may our two present
National Parties, over a long time, like decades.
Now, in old times talk, these may be
times to write home about. I am confident the experience will vary quite a bit,
often influenced by where one lives.
Said another way, expect younger people to ask older people to tell them
stories "about how things used to be". I sure hope, if this should
happen to you, that the story tellers will be as accurate as possible.
After all, during times of great
change, much friction also occurs, including rises and falls of national
political parties that have been around forever.
