And for the record, I am not happy about her Iran remarks, as it is more loud-mouthed bluster
of the kind we have suffered for eight years.

That said, the remarks were made in the context of a nuclear strike by Iran on an ally. It is not a policy
I support, but it wasn't the wild eyed "I kill them damn Eye-ranians first chance I git!" blather you continue
to pretend it was.

Many make too much sense for the overwhelming majority of the populace to comprehend. Some are nuts, the anarchists , e.g.
However, take Ron Paul, e.g. He preached :
1. limited govt. - an extinct Republican ideal
2. non interventional foreign policy. - incomprehensible to Dems or Repubs.
3. Austrian economics - eliminate fiat money. Duh! Makes way too much sense for all but a few to understand.
4. anti war - made him practically a traitor to Repubs

Seems every other year there's a lot of talk about that or a viable third party.
Remember John Anderson?
You'd have to be an adolescent to not know Ross Perot w/ his pie charts.
And of course there's the perpetual Ralph Nader.
On the old B.M. board I read lots how this year was ripe for a viable third party.
