"welcome back to Eisenhower Republicanism."

Posted by sarah70]]> Mon, 17 Dec 2012 22:56:26 -0800 The Stranger The background behind all of this is the 8 years of citizens voting for a 2/3rds majority for raising taxes.

Each and every time the "representative" government of Democrats has fought the will of the people on tax increases.

The current party system forces a choice between socially conservative Republicans and tax-hungry Democrats.

This is the opposite of what people want.

They want socially progressive politicians but do not want centrist high tax governance.

So, the worst that could happen for the power brokers is for the moderate ends of each party to come together and form a Great Middle that is truly representative of the people. At that point the game is over...and a really representative, middle of the road, local based political coalition is born.

Move over wingnuts and urbists, your reign is ended...welcome back to Eisenhower Republicanism.
