We've tried GOPers, we've tried Dems, and personal wealth still took a 40% hit. Time to try something else.
Here's why you cannot go with the status quo this year for President:
1. Personal wealth in this country declined 40% from 2007-2010, thanks to Dems and GOPers.
2. Dem and GOPer intransigence in Congress will lead to a $405 billion (minimum) tax increase on 150,000,000 households at the beginning of next year.
Here's the money quote from the Kansas City Star:
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results.
This also applies to voting as if Dem and GOPer were your only two choices.

What the GOP wants just won’t fly. What the Democrats want in no way addresses the scale of the problem.

Even when Bush was President and the Republicans held majorities in the House and Senate, they were very slender majorities at best. Not too mention, that majority in the Senate last a grand total of 6 months. Remember Jumpin' Jim Jeffords?
The problem isn't that we have "tried the GOP"; rather, problem is we have yet to have a GOP with sufficient majorities in the House and Senate to overcome statist Democrats wanting to block GOP initiatives.
Remember Bush's Cato-based Social Security privatzation proposal in 2005. The Dems made sure it was Dead on Arrival, lambasting it as "extreme" in the media.
If you want progress for Liberty, there's a simple solution: Elect very large Republican majorites in Congress, with a large libertarian contingent, (including dual party Libertarian Party/Republican Party members.)
Gop is worthless, whiney and only interested in taking money away from the middle class and sequestering it among the wealth.
The gop is morally bankrupt. The gop is used up. The gop cannot put one thought in front of another.
Oh.. go ahead.. blame the Dems. Blah, blah, blah....
Exactly the problem. The GOP cannot sell itself because it is empty air. They have only one line... uhhh.. "we're not democrats..."
Well, I'm sick of it. I'm tired of hearing the same line with not one single positive result since it was first uttered by one of Ronald Reagan's campaign managers back in 78...(just curious, Eric D., were you alive back then?) ummm I think his name was Dick Cheney...
It does not work. It has never worked.
And Gary Johnson is interesting simply because, as a Republican, he made it work... in New Mexico..
Someone actually made something work. AND THE REPUBLICANS THREW HIM OUT OF THEIR PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!
After that, nothing any republican can EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER say, has any credibility...
Hello, Mr. Republican... any neurons still working in there?
lol.
(not meant personally, of course.) Just speaking in generalities....
Also, Eric Dondero is an idiot.
I'm sorry old-timey parties. You are quickly losing relevance in a world where your lies and corruption can be routed out in nanoseconds. You're just not up to the rebuild and the power supply is fading. It's time to break you down and salvage what we can of your base elements.
You were once the driver of our hopes and passions, but now you chug along selling the same old drivel that no longer compiles. Just too many bugs and dropped routines.
We will miss you as we fondly remember an old 8-track tape player. Nice and interesting then but a pain in the ass now. We'll just put you on the shelf so we can remember all your joys and faults. A new age is here, you just haven't recognized it yet.
You see, that is what a paradigm change is all about. You know.. At first they laugh at you, then they fight you, then -- you know the rest. You're not late to the party, you just weren't invited.
It's just a rumbling now, but more can hear it everyday. Laugh, go ahead, enjoy your swan song. It's all you have left.
