You guys have probably heard me say before that I'm pretty apathetic about American politics. I've reached a point of hopelessness when it comes to the men and women who make up the legislative branch of our government. I've lost faith.
Then I came across an
article about a month ago and for the first time, read about a candidate that I think I could get behind. Of course, it's too late now (not that my support would have made a big difference). This is my favorite portion of the article:
"The real message he is carrying is that both parties–the 'duopoly,' as he calls it—are paralyzed by polarization and inertia, and that the Republican Party in particular is pursuing an 'unsustainable' course."
Now that sounds like my kind of pseudo-Republican! Unfortunately, because he doesn't tote the party line, the Republicans have already started the process of spitting him out. I like a guy who is willing to talk reasonably to both sides.
It's too bad. Sounds like he was a pretty incredible governor and COULD have been a great president.
