How about a new party for the moderates of America?

You could call this party the Know-Nothings!\n\nThat's the problem with so called moderates.  They believe in absolutely nothing.  Its just like Ann Coulter says  "If you have the intelligence above that of a toaster you are either a liberal or a conservative."\n\nAnd that is the absolute truth.

Unfortunately the Republicans will again and even if its the Democrats it will not make any difference at all.  They are both made of the same material.  MONEY.  I'd like to see some real change with more independents and Libertarian Party members.

It has been time for a thrid party for a long time.  I get tired of listening to two things, 1 the same song and dance from both the Democrats and the Republicans, 2 that you are throwing your vote away if you vote for a thrid party .  Look the middle class is slowing becoming the lower class.  Our government ( both dem and rep) have done nothing to help the middle class.  And yet we make up the largest voting population.  It is time that we stand up for us.  Stand up for our jobs, for our lives, our kids lifes.  If we don't  it will never change.  And soon we will all be living pay check to pay check.  We need a third party with the person running to be one of us.  Not a rich spoiled politition  (sp) who has never seen a tough day in their lives.

That's part of the problem for both sides. To try and convey a platform, they have both become too extremist. Most Americans are NOT extremists... but more moderate. I would love for there to be a third party with legitimate candidates and real strength. I think we would have a better government.

Amen.\nSo when do we start the new party?\nPersonally, I'd like to find a political party is fiscally responsible, socially active and is 100% against invading private lives.\nAs a friend once described me: my head is a Republican, my heart is a Democrat and my body is independent.

How about E...f u c k the republicans and f u c k the democrats.  Hopefully some new party will emerge in that time that takes the baseline consevative look with a feel for liberal change.  All I know is I'm voting for S.B. Squarepants, Esq. again...he'd do a better job that any constituent backed monkey puppet that runs.

Yes. Where shall we send them? Come up with something, quick! By the way, it's not conservatives. The conservative party has been hijacked by a bunch of paranoid, end times, suicide politicians who have been planning their takeover for years! \n\nhttp://www.thefourreasons.org/

That more people voted Republican than Democrat.  The Democrats have not yet learned that the country is in fact becoming more conservative each day.  This would not be a problem if the Democrats would run a more moderate candidate with a moderate platform.  The reason this will not happen is Howard Dean is chairman of the Democrat party and will have a liberal platform that only a liberal candidate can even try to sell.

Moderates from all groups sound a lot alike, but it is where, when and how they want to spend money for their aims that make a difference.  They also differ on how and who to collect it from.  \n\nOpen minded people with the ability to compromise are an endangered species.

Obviously very far. They acted like defiant children at the State of the Union, which I found extremly distasteful especially because of the times. We need to be united right now not fighting over stupid crap. Personally I'm a moderate but after seeing them at the State of the Union I lost a lot of respect for the Democrats. So right now I'd say they would do anything short of murder to win power back.

Yes I would and yes I have.  Shame on those we actually believe it is wasting their vote...they send a message to to DC that there corrupt status quo is acceptable to them,  Jesse Ventura  was elected as a third party candidate,though not a great governor, a clear message was sent to both parties that a only a moderate candidate is electable.  The current governor of Minnesota is an extremely moderate Republican.

I think we need more moderates, and less Neocons (I just learned that word) and Ultra-Liberals (I have heard that one too much)  \n\nThe cause of the catfight is people clinging to the party line, because they are in the party, and not thinking for themselves.

Not in this time and era. I would like just one person to be for the people that was elected by the people. Great leadership is non existent in today's America. All I have left to do is pick by party, and pick the lesser of the two evils. Good question.

I think the Republican party needs a reform. Currently, they seem to be no different than the Democrats. They are moving more towards the political left and are becoming more of a moderate organization rather than the strong conservative party they used to be during the days of the Reagan administration.

Absolutely, and they can.  The problem we have right now is that there is no third party strong enough.  I voted for a third-party candidate back in the Carter race and then realized that there was no hope of it making a difference.  The party wasn't strong enough.  I can't even tell you now who the guy was.  The Green party runs in many races but don't seem to be making a lot of progress.  There are about 100 Libertarians holding office in state and national positions.  The communist party always seems to show up and, thankfully, lose.  I think the Dems and Reps are getting harder to tell apart anymore in their agendas.  I hope to see some better choices in the future.

I think anyone that appreciates the potential of this country would gladly join in.  What you want to do is what politicians of every level should already be doing.  Instead of republicans being thick headed and thinking that they can change the world into one big happy family, and democrats criticizing everything but never having an alternative option or independent thought that isn't brought on by what the latest poll says they should do, they should be trying to solve the problems together.  No more fighting, time to get to work.  I think lots of people would want in on it.  Especially if it wasn't a forum for one side or another to bash the other, rather a way for people to come together with ideas and remedies to our problems.

I would LOVE to see a real opposition party. I don't think it's gonig to happen though. We'll be stuck with the same 2 choices we always have, corruption or corruption.\n\nI hope, but doubt, that the Democrats rediscover enough of their collective spine to actually put forth some workable ideas. If they do it'll be a change for a party that stands for so little these days. \n\nPeople say there are two Americas. I think there are at least three. \n\nOne is Bush's America: an combination of the extreme Christian "neo-conservatives," corporate interests, the growing national police state, and payola. \n\nAnother is the Democratic "left": lots of ideas, but not enough balls to make them happen. \n\nI suspect there's a third America: members of an increasingly radical middle that will become more obvious in the next few years, tolerant of those who are different and aware that the big problems of our times are being ignored -- or made worse -- by those in power today. \n\nThat third America needs a candidate. Or, maybe, a new party.
