It was all those TV campaign ads. They used to indicate the candidate's party.<br /><br /><br />Now it's the whole "Paid For By Friends of ____" fill in the blank.<br /><br />These Friends Of organizations use every sleazy way to get around campaign finance laws. At least in NY it's a serious problem.<br /><br />KeliataAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-16482131861605352322010-12-14T17:15:36.794-05:002010-12-14T17:15:36.794-05:00Daniel,

While I don't take a liking to any particular party (once I voted for the greens just so they could cause some mayhem), their shallow 'brand approach' to politics seems the most blatant.HermitLionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01955642756387705257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-59925174534510058442010-12-14T16:55:29.366-05:002010-12-14T16:55:29.366-05:00Transparty - about as helpful as a 'unisex'...Transparty - about as helpful as a 'unisex' marriage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-485038029791508832010-12-14T12:37:38.066-05:002010-12-14T12:37:38.066-05:00Yes that's essentially what you end up with. K...Yes that's essentially what you end up with. Kadima. A party of politicians that exists only to rule.<br /><br />Predictionwise, No Labels will go nowhere. Kadima will hang around only long enough for its rats to desert to another similar party. Possibly Labor will be revived. Or some new Third Way party that will be Kadima with a new brand.Daniel Greenfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13575285186581875356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-77306017396204148862010-12-14T06:10:43.477-05:002010-12-14T06:10:43.477-05:00It might be worth to mention Israel's 'Kad...It might be worth to mention Israel's 'Kadima' party, which is also composed of a bunch of faces and names that earn votes, without any actual principles (except, of course, getting elected), as proof of the failure of such a concept.<br />True, there's no two party system here, but the leading Kadima members came from the two largest parties. While to me it only showed how 'flexible' they were, and unworthy of trust, apparently to the average voter that sends a completely different message.<br /><br />I'm curious, Daniel, what's your prediction for the future of both groups - <i>No Labels</i>, and <i>Kadima</i>.HermitLionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01955642756387705257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-28726132076299219772010-12-14T00:48:43.048-05:002010-12-14T00:48:43.048-05:00Sorry, that's just ridiculous. The "two ...Sorry, that's just ridiculous. The "two party system" is already a "transparty system". That's the whole problem. The debate between the Republicans and the Democrats is fake. The solutions to the problems and the hopes for the future of the United State is nowhere contained in either the Democrats or the Republican as represented in the "two party system". There is no such system necessary for US government. It is an artificial parasite on the US government and the body of politics in the US.<br /><br />The solution? Make it a crime to ask party affiliation for purposes of voter registration. It is none of the governemnt's business what a voter's political party is anyway and once the government voter registration records are purged of political party affiliation, the "two party system" will die a quiet death.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13265154565691102783noreply@blogger.com
