Once again Rush and many others are decrying the growing movement towards a third party. I understand this sentiment from a strategic standpoint, but I do not agree that their stratagems are properly thought out. For a strategic political maneuver, a third party is essential. Not to mention a third party will be necessary for most people to truly begin to vote as they were meant to, for a representative, not a politician or the “lesser of two evils”.

In light of Mr. Reich’s speech, I thought it might be nice to start a series in similar fashion. I will do an “entirely made up and off the cuff” statement of what an honest presidential candidate could and should say. The difference is, this is more what a libertarian candidate would say, instead of a liberal one. And this is what I believe should be said to the America that exists, to the citizens we have, with their current education level. I think they are more than ready for the truth, and that the understanding of politics would be easy for the average American if there were not so many exhausting smoke and mirrors games or ridiculous lies and cover-ups perpetrated on them by our current ruling class in order to gain power.

Today I return to my ongoing series about the next steps in moving our government in the right direction. As I have stated, sudden change, even for the better, can be disastrous, and would require weilding more power than any self-respecting libertarian would be willing to weild. This particular step I am proposing would be a less gradual progression, since I believe that very little ill effect would come from its implementation. The only need for baby steps with transparency would be the difficulty of passing such legislation, since Congress is unlikely to vote a rod against itself.

Perhaps not entirely inaccurate, but philosophically wrong. I may not be threatening his “percentage of being right” as it relates to the accuracy of his statements, but the position he took the other day was definitely born of the wrong way of thinking. Basically, he stated that it would be a mistake to consider the Tea Party movement and the 9/12 March on Washington anything other than a “conservative ascendancy”. His reasoning is that if the issue gets classified as anything else, it could spark a third party that would guarantee the re-election of Obama and his administration, and the Democrat congress to go with it. He went it to it a little in this quote from his show with a caller named Dana:
