Peggy Noonan and the Third Party
Peggy Noonan has a wonderful op-ed in the Wall Street Journal about the idea that America is teetering on the edge of being ready for a third policital party. Certainly worth reading. In a nutshell, she points out that that there is no real divide between the two parties in DC. They are relatively identical in terms of spending, immigration issues (Ted Kennedy and George Bush in complete agreement) and general thoughts on response/non-response to terror. On traditionally more divisive issues such as same-sex marriage, the parties are simply embarrassed rather than principled.
The real divide is between those in Washington and those who do not live in Washington. The American people are concerned about rampant spending, immigration and issues of national security. Much more concerned than the politicrats in Washington.
What would a third party look like?
