"You associated me with the republicans and apparently have no sense of humor - all in one post."
I may not have a sense of humor but that post was for sailormon - not you. He said something about Lieberman so I was agreeing that Dems had cast him out and said why. As for Jeffords, bless him for standing up for what he believed in.
And an independent party? I too believe there will be one at some point. Actually it might happen as a complete reinvention of one of the two main parties or it could happen as a result of a split of both of them as they abandon their respective fringes. The second possibility would be very interesting I think - But it sure isnt going to happen this time around. It would be likely to happen next time IF the Dems get in and dont do anything with their opportunity to do something new and useful and if that is seen as their fault and not obstructionism by the other side - i.e. if they turn out to be spineless wimps even when they have the power, then a lot of us are going to be very disgusted with them.
But that is the dim distant future in political time. I will worry about that some other time.
