Here at Balladeer’s Blog I am still relishing the political realignment going on in America. We have a de facto Third Party President and public disgust over the corruption and outright crimes of the Democrats and Republicans is nearly boiling over. I’ve featured countless news items over the past 12 months detailing some of the history we’re living through.
Most recently, Florida saw John Morgan, the presumed winner of the Governor’s race – and up til now a Democrat – announce he is so fed up with the Democrats that he is not even going to run this time after all. (And he had been LEADING the polls even without being an official candidate yet)
Part of his public comment said:
“They are all the same. Both parties. I plan to register as an Independent and when I vote, vote for the lesser of two evils. And if I ever ran, run as an Independent.”
This is an interesting time to be alive.
By the way, for those wondering, I’m neither a liberal nor a conservative, I’m a Populist. Want proof? CLICK HERE

It’s good to see more candidates themselves thinking Independent instead of democrat and republican.
I agree. As a movement this will take decades even if a Third Party ever does become viable.
What went wrong with the Democrats?
The worst thing was their takeover by the worst and most shrill elements of the 1960s generation of political robots.
You are right, we need third parties.
Thanks.
Nobody should keep the Democrat label.
I know how you feel.
