third party time?

Despite the fact that George Bush has done a wonderful job defending the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic, Instapundit does have a point. (like he needs the linkage...)

I think we're seeing a general meltdown in support for the entire governing class as the result of a perception (which is largely true) that it lacks the seriousness and self-restraint necessary to run a major nation.

See related here and here.

My suggestion:

• Form a new political party which would reduce the bloated federal government back to its proper constitutionally-granted powers and return states' rights.
• The current Republican Party would fill the role of the pre-1968 Democratic Party, and welcome back the blue dogs.
• The remaining anti-American Democrats would be allowed flee to Canada (as they keep promising to do) or be returned to their respective planets, alternate universes and/or mental institutions.
