Chris Weigant: The Ron Paul Third-Party Scenario - Politics on The Huffington Post

There was this very interesting comment on a blog entry at huffingtonpost - how progressive democrats can't support HC.

Chris Weigant: The Ron Paul Third-Party Scenario - Politics on The Huffington Post:

"'If the DLC succeeds in foising HC on us then its either sit out the election or vote for a viable 3rd party and I certainly consider Dr. Paul more likeable and more in line with progressive views than HC ' Exactly. The DLCers are our parties Neo-CONS. They are pro 'free' trade and open borders so they are essentially AGAINST labor and the working man. They are also pro foreign interventionists as well. The DLCers need to be purged from our party just like the religious whackos and Neocons need to be from the republican party. Pelosi, Rangel, Hoyer, Emanuel and HC are a good place to start. Lets get some real progressives on the ticket and get back to supporting our base and our values. If Hillary is the best we can do - then I go third party or write in as well. Kucinich, maybe edwards or the dream ticket Gore would be my choices then, But Paul would certainly get some serious consideration"

This is very true - Neo-CONS & DLCrs are the bane of our current problems. Even Republicans are growing skeptical of the benefits of "Free Trade" - By a nearly two-to-one margin, Republican voters believe free trade is bad for the U.S. economy (Wall Street Journal).
