2012 will be an interesting election year |
|
it just seems like people will pay attention this time and OWS will be a huge motivating factor potentially leading to a rise in candidates without a political party attachment. The American people can't stand both the Republicans and the Democrats, and it seems like a rise in candidates backed by the OWS movement will bring in a legitimate 3rd party for 2012. Bernie Sanders/Alan Grayson for OWS anyone? A fourth party could potentially rise with Ron Paul potentially running as a Libertarian with Jesse Ventura potentially as his running mate. So for the general election in 2012, we could have 4 parties making an impact: Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, OWS. This is just my view, what do you guys think?

2. I think 2012 will start the fall of the Democratic and Republican parties to be replaced by whatever |
|
OWS and the Libertarian movements. I watched the debate tonight, I don't agree with Ron Paul on everything, but on foreign policy, I'm with him.
