This underscores the fact that it doesn’t take that many people to swing the agendas away from the one party system. Both major parties use fear that if you don’t vote the party line, the other party will take over.

Since both parties are in bed together, what does it matter? If more of us start giving our vote to outsiders, we will see a momentum build that cannot be stopped. Until we start showing the establishment politicians that they are vulnerable, the more secure they are in legislating this country into oblivion.

Leftist are not in charge. Moderates are in charge. That is why the left support PR. They think PR will allow leftist to get their foot in the door. In reality, PR would open the door to allowing the various segments of society to have a proportional amount of representation. California would have to change its state constitution to allow for multi-member districts before PR could be implimented.

…The peculiar nature of the American constitution renders third party politics difficult at both the national and state level.-DSA

There’s nothing in the US Constitution that prevents Proportional Representation at the state level. Ideally, states should elect one house of the state legislature using Anglo-American first-past-the post system and the other by a from of PR.

Why? Because PR would allow ideological minorities to get a voice in the governing process, and anything resembling genuine conservatism or libertarianism is a barely visible minority in the US-especially in states like NY and CA where leftist factions and public employee unions (and politicians whored out to them)are completely dominant.

An improvement but, of course, no panacea.

Oddly enough, lefties tend to be the strongest supporters of PR. Don’t they realize that they are in charge? Or do they think that they can abolish the private sector and repeat the disastrous Soviet experiment-and get it “right” this time?

hparis- You don’t even know the half of it. Just wait till we start releasing some of other research. Nothing that isn’t available from public sources, but not widely seen and very disturbing.

As a voter in Buffalo, NY, I’d noticed the WFP line in the voting booth, but didn’t really know who they were. I just assumed (correctly) that they were a communist group since the word “working” was in their name.

I got a job at a UAW affiliated print shop last summer. Prior to last year’s presidential election, I boasted that I was a member of the Libertarian Party, then my boss chimed in and said, “I’m a member of the Working Families Party.” I thought, “gee, isn’t that just swell.”

I’m glad that they are being exposed for the mobsters that they are. And as hard as it is finding work here in Buffalo, I am willing to lose my job if it means an end once and for all to organized labor.

I am opposed to labor unions, but since New York is a forced union state, if I wanted the job, I had to join the union. If that isn’t a racket, I don’t know what is.

Apparently, last week, Scozzafava was also endorsed by the United Auto Workers (UAW).

On the surface however, Scozzafava opposes the cap-and-trade bill, and today she picked up the endorsement of Newt Gingrich. But the problem I’m having is, if Scozzafava held strong Republican values, then why are the United Auto Workers endorsing her candidacy? This confuses me.

So now I also have to ask myself why Newt Gingrich endorsed her… After all, he founded American Solutions and actively supports the tea parties, but now he is endorsing Scozzafava? This is odd. Especially since she doesn’t seem to fit the profile who tea partier’s are hoping to elect.

On the contrary, I suppose I’d need more information about Hoffman. The only information I really know about Hoffman is what was written in a recent syracuse.com article. It said that Hoffman mounted a late surge in the special election with endorsements by conservatives that include former Republican Sen. Fred Thompson; Campaign for Working Families founder Gary Bauer; and the conservative Club for Growth in Washington, D.C.

So I guess the question remains: how different are the political philosophies of Hoffman and Scozzafava? What does Hoffman’s voting record look like – and does he support the values of true conservatism?
