Barry Levinson, director of the new Poliwood documentary that tracked Hollywood political activists in the 2008 election through Inauguration Day, sees the public so mad at Washington that he predicts a real third party will emerge with a viable presidential candidate, perhaps even by 2012. "There's an enormous dissatisfaction with Congress," he says. Since the right is maddest, the new third party will lean that way, he adds.

How about the (1) smallest government possible, (2) strong defensive - DEFENSIVE, not a jobs program for military/industrial folks. (3) taxes as low as possible WHEN our real national debt (which is now over $50 trillion -http://www.pgpf.org/ ) is behind us and we all live within our mean, (4) cut all -ALL - federal budgets ten or five or something percent (we ALL sacrifice a little), (5) liberty WITH accountability and responsibility, (6) local control to the maximum degree possible, (7) ignore irrational talking heads screeching hatred to increase their media ratings, (8) encourage healthy eating and active living NOT big medicine and pharma .... etc.

I bet, it will never happen. There are way too many greedy and fearful folks listening to self serving and very rich screaching heads. We all like our benefits and want only the other guys to sacrifice.

We can express our self interest by moving toward ... generosity, trust and confidence -or - greed, fear and suspicion. One necessitates courage, humility, and faith. The other results in arrogance, self-righteous and certainty. Neither is easy. Both have long term outcomes.

Democrats are HORRIBLE and the Republicans are just "less-bad".

Washington has gone off in "left-field" as far as American Reality is concerned.

I cannot believe that we're even having a "debate" about Healthcare when OUR nation is on the ropes economically, politically, FISCALLY!

PRIORITIES! PLEASE!

DAMN!

American small businesses that have been around 25-30 years have folded, Banks like Chase,BofA and Wells Fargo who took OUR money are now charging "slavery" interest rates to businesses and individuals (despite their flowery commercials saying otherwise) for NO legitimate reason and people's home values have plummeted with no hope of recovery for decades to come....AND...OUR Government is spending on "fluff" at an unprecedented rate! Leftist "AGENDA"...Nothing "REAL".

Reality?...THEY NEED to have it explained in the ONLY "peacefull" way possible...

VOTE THEM OUT OF OFFICE!
