You tricked me. I thought this would be a foriegn war piece.

I think you are right.

Well well stated.

I am one of the militant middle, I vote policy, economics and common sense not party lines. The horse has long left the barn and it appears he or she is not coming back unless the people who hire and fire the politicians change the curve and it is my belief that the curve will change come next fall. Out with politics as usual and back on track to building America and the American dream which has become the American nightmare.

They are wishy washy and change their minds at the drop of a hat.

You couldn't be more accurate about independents, I know because I am independent and will always be.

Fix the issues that are dragging our country down...or get out!

Ding, Ding, Ding ... So somebody finally gets it right! What a shame the two dominant parties STILL don't get it. Or perhaps they are just to arrogant to get it? Perhaps, yet still, they just don't get that we are smarter than they would like to believe and feel we will just fall into step and do as we are told? Regardless, I don't hold out much hope for them as they are too far outside reality (as are their advisors, spin doctors, insiders, etc.) to understand and/or accept the unrest around the country. I wish I could feel bad for them when they awake from denial into shocking reality.

I wish people would quit insisting that 'independents' are some magical middle ground between the left and the right. Many of them aren't on the left-right spectrum at all, anarchists or libertarians or gold-standard fanatics or whatever, whose burning issues aren't even on most people's radar.

Well said, Mr. Foreman. Well said.

The candidates though (whether you are Democrat or GOP or Independent) are always more of the same – they talk a good game on the campaign trail but once they are elected that all goes out the window. If this was Great Britain we would have voted "No confidence" on both parties. Most times on most elections the only smart way it seems to be to vote "None of the above"......that describes the frustration with what is going on and how no one seems to be a real force for change.

I'm proud to be a member of the Militant Middle and hope that more will join us so we can truly bring about a "change we can believe in".

You don't have to have a party affiliation to know when something just goes against the foundations this country was founded on. The policies this administration are putting forth just don't set well with middle america and that is the place they need to be, not this far left agenda, when will they get it that is not going to fly here, if that is what they want they need to move to cuba,venazuela or perhaps middle east those countries like to complain about the U.S. they would find a captive audiance there!!
