Over time conservative democrats have left the Democratic party as have anyone leaning even slightly left in the Republican party. That's the problem today--we are so divided that there is no ability to compromise. It's all or nothing for both parties. We sorely need a third party if only as a means to break the divide...

I agree with that. The two parties are too entrenched and its only getting worse.

You make a valid point about the national Democrats, though 3 actually switched. John Tower (TX), Strom Thurmond (SC), and Jessie Helms (NC), all Senators. However, at the state level many more dixiecrats switched to the Republican party. The 'solid south' used to refer to the Democrats' hold over the area, now it is Republicans.
In reality, of course, it was the southern v**ers who switched parties, not necessarily the politicians themselves.

Peter, you throw that word 'f*****t' around so much, it makes me wonder if you even know what it means. Have you tried looking it up in wikipeter?

Conservatism is a regressive ideology. If it was left up to you we would still be kissing King George's ass. If not for liberalism this country wouldn't exist today...
I question your statement about kissing King George. The states that are definitely anti gun are those controlled by the liberals. If you observation is legitimate then actually the liberal people would have told the Lobsterbacks where the cannon, balls, and powder were located and helped to subdue the Conservatives. We would be singing ‘God Save the Queen’ instead we are singing ‘America’.

I have been advocating third party since 1964. Let's get started with getting more people to v**e third party. I feel I have been v****g alone.

There is a growing number of people who don't support either the democrat or republican party.

I think it would be fun to have a Conservative Party and a Liberal/C*******t/Progressive Party, in addition to the Republicans and Democrats. It would be entertaining to see which one of the primary parties the repubs and dems gravitated to. Not sure it would be beneficial to the country, though. I don't think we would want to have so many parties that we had to form 'coalition' governments, like many countries do.
