But I'm kind of thinking that a strong moderate 3rd party could make real ground right about now. Get your more business-minded democrats, and your more socially-minded republicans, and I think you might make a case that that would be the best possible party right now.That'd be the Clintons. Unfortunately, we haven't had "socially minded republicans" since the 70's. Jesus drove them out of business.
Ironic, huh?
Quote:You know, I've never been against leftism, or even PC (gasp!). It's the noisy fringes that just pollute the airspace too much, and make it impossible to move forward. They are pretty much the equivalent of the kid that falls down and smashes his hands and feet on the floor in a big temper tantrum all the time.
As people often note, we don't actually have a "left" as understood in the rest of the world. That's why you hear so much about people "holding their noses" and voting. Our shit is such shit that alot of people will take whatever shit they can get.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
