Is it Time for a Third Party to Save America? USA Today/Gallup 2011 Poll: 63% of ALL Voters Want Entire U.S. Congress Replaced & GOP May Pay Heavy Price for Ignoring Independents Wishes, 69% are too IRATE:
By Marc Chamot
If this poll holds true, it’s very bad news for GOP/Republicans in 2012. If GOP/Republicans lose the Independent VOTERS, it’s all over but the crime for 2012 election hopes.
Democrats last year didn’t believe the polls, they ignored the polls up until the Midterm elections and they got trounced into oblivion. And now, its GOP/Republican’s turn to feel the pressure of angry voters and they’re falling into the same trap of ignorance.
According to Susan Page, of USA Today; new polls are showing that 2010 Midterm party changes did not appease American voters. In USA Today/Gallup polls; voters are unhappiest they’ve ever been with congress, and even with GOP/Republicans, including those that took control of the U.S. House of Representatives last November.
In a ratio of 2 to 1, voters are saying congress doesn’t deserve re-elections. This is matching other historic lows from last year, and only 28% of voters are saying, congressional members deserve to be re-elected for another term. In essence, 63% of American voters want entire U.S. congress replaced.
Anger towards U.S. congress’s ineptness’s, fueled the conservative Tea Party movement, and cost Democrats major seats in the House last November. People believed that GOP/Republicans learned their lessons from their past failures, but apparently they haven’t and neither have Democrats.
The current levels of public discontents and discords towards U.S. congress are higher, than they were before the 2006, 2008 and 2010 Midterms.
The ‘failures’ for GOP/Republicans to turn attitudes around, isn’t too surprising for most political pundits and insiders. Donald Trump briefly sparked that inner fire of populism among Independents, but unfortunately, he was just ‘a flash in the pan.’
The economy is still in deep trouble, masses of people have lost their homes, home values, and wages have dropped to pre-1995 levels, and jobs are still unavailable for most of the nation’s unemployed. It’s definitely a very unhappy and desperate electorate out there and GOP isn’t doing anything about it.
The problem with GOP/Republicans, they are into gridlock; it’s all about deficit reductions and tax-breaks for the wealthy, but there’s NEVER any talk about saving people’s homes from foreclosures, wage increases and job creations to make this economy move.
Republicans in U.S. HOUSE are still refusing to take populists views on domestic economic and other jobs related issues that are ailing the United States, something which attracts Independents to vote for their party.
Outsourcing of ‘factory/industry’ JOBS abroad and China’s growing economic super-powers is a huge problem for majority of Americans, but GOP and Democrats are still ignoring those key issues, which are most important to majority of Independents.
They’ve destroyed the American Middleclass, when they went after our private sectors’ blue collar jobs, by creating globalist free market ideals, and by exporting American factories and industry JOBS abroad for cheaper labor in jobs killing NAFTA’s and WTO’s.
The American Middleclass was once the thriving consumer spending force in America, and now that U.S. politicians have practically destroyed America’s Middleclass through ill advised policies, big business is complaining that they have no more markets here, because no one is buying their ‘high priced items,’ so they have to venture out to China and Brazil to make their money, all the while letting the U.S. sink into the pits of oblivion.
See: “Today, however, an aging workforce at home, a challenged economy and the lure of foreign markets are pushing our biggest, richest companies to recreate their American miracle abroad and to weaken their commitment at home.”
While the richest have gotten richer, meanwhile America’s Middleclass have gone into the poor house, our elected politicians know this, but they don’t want to FIX it, and or they don’t know how to fix it. We have also got illegal aliens in California, who have depressed wages, and have stolen most traditional private sectors, U.S. citizens’ union jobs in the state.
GOP/Republicans are in BIGGER trouble, they have no established and credible presidential candidate to run against Obama, they are losing Independent voters, and not only sucking up to their base, they’ll need Independents to do it for them, and they’ll have to defend some major acquisitions of seats, they took from Democrats last year.
Historically, electorate unhappiness is taken out on the party in power, and Independents are the driving voters for change and obviously GOP in power in the U.S. House, is going to feel the public heat and angry backlashes.
It’s basically like this; Republicans were given a shot to prove what they could do in the House, to help reverse the economic catastrophes’, but failed miserably at it. I warned of this, I had warned of this in the past, if GOP/Republicans don’t get the VOTER’s message that got them into office, they’ll be thrown OUT!
Independent voters are most dissatisfied, with 69% saying congress does not deserves another chance, even Republicans and 36 percent of Democrats are saying members should be re-elected, compared to Republicans 26%.
Biggest reason why there is a push for a third party; Ted C Fishman HIRO-TPN, ‘Hit It Right On the Proverbial Nail,’ here’s something to ponder about folks; why the jobs are going over there:
A 2009 study by economist Matthew Slaughter showed that the average yearly salary for employees at multinationals was $62,784 in 2006, more than $12,000 above the average wage in the private sector overall. The higher pay, Slaughter reasons, results from the better job big multinationals do at making their employees contribute more to the bottom line.
Some sobering news about the role of multinationals emerged last month. The Commerce Department reports that since 2000, U.S. multinationals have shed 2.9 million workers at home but picked up 2.4 million workers overseas. And that is to say nothing of the millions more who work for the foreign companies that now make many of the products and components sold by multinationals.
Executives quoted about the trend are quick to say that the movement of jobs is not about undercutting U.S. wages. Jeffrey Immelt, CEO of GE and head of the White House Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, said that "the era of globalization around cheap labor is over. …
Today we go to Brazil, we go to China, … India, because that's where the customers are." Of course, many of those customers Immelt refers to are multinationals that did move factories abroad for cheap labor and which need GE there to supply them.
The era of globalization around cheap labor is still upon us. That is why we could see the trade deficit with China near $300 billion this year. Cheap labor and the gutting of American jobs are inseparable from the economic miracles multinationals now chase. It's tempting to lay blame on the companies, but the dynamic is too large for that. Even workers in America have a version of this game.
Last year, pension plans, retirement accounts and personal savings helped pour $908 billion into the emerging markets recreating the formerly American jobs. Investors without an emerging market strategy rightly fear they will fall behind in the long run.
One of the big reason American jobs is down and foreign hiring is up is that the U.S. workforce is older than the workforce available abroad. And older workers, those who carry lifetime of raises and benefits hikes, are most expensive to keep.
At multinationals where wages and benefits tend to be richer, older workers can look especially expensive. As a result, they are especially vulnerable. Advanced countries with aging workforces have huge social costs that demand higher taxes and higher public debt, which multinationals get jumpy about.

I think the idea of a 'Third Party' is born out of the leftist/Progressives search to drive a wedge into the (R) party. It assures us 4 more years of Obama's H and C.
I am no fan of Republicans or most all POLITICIANS for that matter. A cleansing of the Political Machine is badly needed, but too what cost?
I would vote for a chimpanzee before any leftist and that includes R's in sheeps clothing.
It's going too be a bumpy ride!
Don, it is a problem, they aren't listening!! The country is in a mess, no jobs, they know it, but it's business as usual...
I think it is time for a third party to get into the mix, or a complete overhaul of both of the political parties ideologies and the way they run this country.
It is not working! No jobs! Even if you have a job the wages are low, prices are high, gas, food...
Something has to change!
