@stranger_in_a_strange_land Well, I think he is most worried about voting for presidential primaries. I agree about the two party mentality, I just think my father sees it as facing reality right now. I really think more and more independents will break off from the Republican party, if the party does not kick out the extremists.
I just saw that Crist (the Republican Governor of FL, who is running now for Senate I think just vetoed what I considered to be a bold move by FL to get rid of tenure for teachers if I understood the report correctly. I am actually in favor of getting rid of tenure, not sure how the Democrats running for the spot stand on it, I would assume they are against it?? I just know Crist’s Republican competition in the primaries was in favor of the bill. Seems he is positioning himself to leave the Republican party and go independent. This seems to be happening more and more. The question for me really is, are they breaking away so they can be more true to what they really believe in, and not have to answer to the party, or is it all just political bullshit.
