One Party America?


Unless there is some sort of coup or revolution in America, there will always be at least two dominating political parties. It is the nature of Americans to have the ability to throw the scoundrels out of office. Often times it is irrelevant if the office holder is Conservative or Liberal. Too often trustworthiness is not even an issue with Americans. The thing that matters with Americans is this kind of thinking: "What have you done for me lately?" If the "What have done" is something that affects the American pocket book or provokes indignation on a voter wide scale, then Americans tend to throw the office holder out.

I do agree with Shriver that a failed re-election on a Democratic Party ticket of Lieberman may very well affect the Democratic Party in the future. It is even possible that it might be the demise of the Democratic Party as we know it. However I assure you, if the Democratic Party ceases suddenly or slowly; it will be replaced by a group of candidates that are unhappy with the opposing majority political party.

In reality if the Democratic Party meets its demise, it could be more dangerous for the Republican Party. The new opposition Party that would eventually form would probably pull some kind of centrists of commonality from both political parties. That might present quite the challenge to my beloved Right Wing of the Republican Party.
