A lot of libertarians go with that imprecise shorthand....but I am not one of them.<br /><br />So long is there a single party, another will rise (and be cultivated) to be its foil. At that point, they together can collude to divide up power and suppress any upstart competitors.CaptiousNuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440029537418230507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11336670.post-36371762082388350972010-08-11T11:46:29.839-04:002010-08-11T11:46:29.839-04:00Unfortunately, in some weird distortion of convent...Unfortunately, in some weird distortion of conventional mathematics, no parties = one party.<br /><br />But I will agree with you that any sucker who seriously thinks there is a difference in the two parties, where one side is noble and the other evil, is either delusional just not paying close enough attention.Justin Timenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11336670.post-44065843635827593612010-08-11T10:38:20.337-04:002010-08-11T10:38:20.337-04:00JT,

Early on it suggests that we already have a <i>de facto</i> one-party country:<br /><br /><i>That is because while most of the voters who call themselves Democrats say that Democratic officials represent them well, only a fourth of the voters who identify themselves as Republicans tell pollsters that Republican officeholders represent them well. Hence officeholders, Democrats and Republicans, gladden the hearts of some one-third of the electorate -- most Democratic voters, plus a few Republicans. This means that Democratic politicians are the ruling class's prime legitimate representatives and that because Republican politicians are supported by only a fourth of their voters while the rest vote for them reluctantly, most are aspirants for a junior role in the ruling class. In short, the ruling class has a party, the Democrats. But some two-thirds of Americans -- a few Democratic voters, most Republican voters, and all independents -- lack a vehicle in electoral politics.</i><br /><br />I am not proposing one-party rule. I don't believe there should be ANY *organized* political parties.<br /><br />If the Republicans dissolve, the Dems lose their convenient bogeyman, and they will be more clearly identified for what they are.CaptiousNuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440029537418230507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11336670.post-26560400963483993432010-08-11T10:07:19.023-04:002010-08-11T10:07:19.023-04:00...the only chance this country has to regain its ...<i>...the only chance this country has to regain its footing is for the Republican party to dissolve, permanently.</i><br /><br />Yeah, that's worked so well for us here in Massachusetts.<br /><br />The Dems now have free reign to make self-serving rules to keep themselves in power and advance their own collective financial position.<br /><br />I'm not here to stump for the Republican party, but a one party system ain't the answer, my friend...Justin Timenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11336670.post-36963733376880708312010-08-10T18:59:04.319-04:002010-08-10T18:59:04.319-04:00My guess is that 95% will suffer from recurring bo...My guess is that 95% will suffer from recurring bouts of Stockholm Syndrome and soon return to the plantation from whence they came.<br /><br />When I start hearing people discussing anarchy matter of factly at the local watering holes, then I'll think revolution is upon us (hint: this will never happen).Taylor Conanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18270678440957992085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11336670.post-41276505254086898942010-08-10T17:37:13.965-04:002010-08-10T17:37:13.965-04:00You know what it is?
