Doyle McManus wants to promote a more centrist candidate for President in a third party run.
Whether Democrat or Republican, every candidate who wins his or her party's primary will have to run as a centrist in order to cull as many independent, disaffected, and uncommitted votes to win the general election.
Still, with Democrats distancing themselves from the empty promises of President Obama, and the strong and consistent principles of the Republican candidate rising to the forefront, the GOP nominee may be just what the general clutch of voters in the United States are looking for.
This country has had enough of political pragmatism -- read, opportunism-- which has produced nothing but stalled legislation and nonconstructive compromises on the looming debt crises afflicting this nation.
We need leadership, not pandering. Centrism has not produced any meaningful results since Bill Clinton left office in 2001. Even then, though, he had to acquiesce to the diligent push for change instigated by the insurgent Republican majority which had taken back control of the House of Representatives for six of Clinton's eight years in office.
Centrism is not a political philosophy, nor an effective program of domestic policy to effect the necessary reforms need to guide this country back into economic and political prosperity.
