According to results from a new NBC/WSJ poll, people aren't very happy with Washington right now. Only 23% say they trust government most of the time... a 12-year low. An astounding 46% favor the formation of a third party to oppose the Democrats and Republicans.

Both parties are responsible for the mess that has been made in DC, and we don't trust them to fix it alone. Now, isn't that what the Tea Parties were saying this summer?

Yes, and the Tea Party people will continue to say it until those in the federal government either hear and heed them, or regret that they didn't.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I noticed in the poll but didn't comment on in the post was the bit about people "thinking about" another political party to challenge the Dems and the Reps. There already is another such party, one that is already running candidates across the country.
ReplyDeleteIt's the Libertarian Party.
