Quote by: bishop personally, i think that feingold is (and has been) by far one of the best democrats out there.. he's definitely been working hard on issues that the majority of the country supports, and he does have backbone and commands respect.. |
But when it comes down to it, will the party support him or will they be the usual group of squabbling children.

when we go demonizing the two parties, always remember that not all of them deserve to be demonized... some of them are really out there to serve the public rather than themselves.

They should run as independents then. They sure seem to be unable to fix the party from within and if they ARE trying to do what's right they end up carrying the dead weight of the rest of the party on their backs. Along those lines I wouldn't mind seeing the good Democrats and the good Republicans split off and form their own party. If they did it all at once, WHILE they are still in office that party may have a chance. I think that was the biggest thing the L.P. had against them, where they wanted to be elected as an unknown quantity from outside the establishment.
Take just 10 good veteran senators from either party and when election time comes around they would have some kind of existing record to show. Switching parties has been done before, only we need these people to be well respected, popular AND with a record they can be proud of. I know I'd vote for them.
