Is it time for a new political party?

Sitting here thinking about the Michigan Primary about to happen today, and a thought occurred to me that what the country needs is an end to the bipartisan chasm that has been created in the country by both the Republican and Democratic parties. Both parties over the last 50 years have migrated so much farther and farther to the extremes of the left and right, that the moderate, middle of the spectrum voter really has no political party that they can identify with.

What we need is a Moderate Party. A party that identifies and takes as it's own the problems of the middle. A party that isn't chained to the extreme evangelical right, or the liberal social program bound left. A party that worries about the majority of the country, the middle class, the ones getting up at 5:00 AM to go to work in the mill, the waitress, the department store worker, the small business owner.

It is time we had a party that was more worried about the majority of americans, than they are about the far extremes in political ideology. Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans can any longer carry the banner for the middle. Both are so inextricably tied to their politicaly extreme segments, that they no longer can see the middle of the political spectrum.

We need a new political revolution, that carries the banner of the moderate majority of America. It is time we abandoned the extreme polar bickering that has been the mantra of the Democrats and Republicans, and replace it with a moderate, cooperative middle that can actually remember what it is to work 10 hour days, 6 days a week, to support their family, provide child care, to barely save for retirement, the basic backbone population that the country has built its economic, and moral base upon.

It is time we replaced the failing Democratic and Republican parities with something that resembles what America is, and that has the same aspirations, and goals.

It is time for a change alright, but a change that neither current party is able to achieve.
