We need a party that is:

Fiscally Responsible: investing wisely in the people and not just pet projects that limit who gets the money, rebuild the bridges and infrastructure creating jobs, which increases a tax base, not dictate health care and then tax to pay for it. You need to rebuild the tax base before you do anything else. Otherwise it will be impossible to ever have growth in this country again.

Socially Liberal: Who cares who sleeps with whom or what sex you love. How much money have we totally wasted on the drug war? How much money do we spend fighting Abortion, drugs and so on? It's a freaking waste of money and pollutes our court systems. Yet, we also need to make sure opportunities are there for ALL American citizens. We should make sure colleges are affordable, schools are well financed, anyone and everyone wanting to advance in school should never have finances stand in their way. If not, if you can't find ways to allow anyone who is wanting to, to attend without worrying about the money first, then no more public financing for your college (this doesn't mean if you can't get the grades you can keep attending, just there should be no reason for someone to have $50,000 (not including the interest) in loans to pay for that education and never be able to pay for it because they can't find a job that can pay for it).

Committed to helping the people and finding ways to better the nation without having to create new taxes and mandating things like lightbulbs that are toxic wastedumps if you break it. Cutting aid to other nations, investing money to those that are willing and able to find inexpensive alternative fuels that work. Raising import tariffs to match what other countries have done to us. Give incentives to companies to rebuild a manufacturing base, a technology base here in the states. Tax those companies the lost wages when they ship jobs overseas. And make law that if you do business in the US, but refuse to manufacture here... then your company is taxed and must meet US payroll, safety, worker's right standards and laws. IF not, then your imports are not allowed in this country.

Committed to freedom, liberty, the ideals the founding fathers had.

When we get a party like that, when we have candidates truly believing and using the above to guide them... they will win elections by landslide... what's going on in 23 is just a power struggle. The 2 party system is crumbling because leaders in both parties have gone to the extremes and the true centerists are being shunned and cajoled into supporting what their party dictates not what the people want.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
