Common sense says amen. Occasionally the news manages to come near getting to the truth. This article (worth reading) argues that the political middle is fed up with both the left and right given election results over the last couple of decades. Common sense suggest that that's right. Neither the radical right nor the liberal left represent the majority of American voters. Ditto the Republican and Democratic parties.
The recent election results are not an endorsement or mandate of the Republicans, rather they are a rejection of the politics of gridlock, of obstructionist Republicans and hyper liberal Democrats.
Common sense suggests that we need real solutions to real problems. That cutting taxes and spending is not THE solution to all problems. That less government is not a solution to unbridled big business. That more regulation doesn't create economic growth. Common sense suggests that different problems have different solutions. That some of these solutions involve less government intervention. That others require more government intervention. That neither the Republicans and the Democrats represent what is best for America. That it is time, long past time, for a third centrist political party that can govern in the interest of the majority political middle.
