Bloomberg? Unity08?

The "normal" political two party system here in the United States is unraveling.

It is time for we the people to take our country back and put an end to the fearmongering vs. pork barrel politics that only benefits politicians and the special interests they serve. We have enough wealth and power as a nation to be secure from foreign coercion AND have a solid foundation of heathcare, education, and affordable housing for our people from full employment.

We need competent managers in our executive branches, rational skeptics in our legislative branches, and principled judges in our judicial branches. In other words, we need another revolution ... at the ballot box.

This is the context within which the potential "Bloomberg For President" campaign plays out.

It isn't just whether or not Bloomberg can win the presidency, it is the setting in motion of real change. Remember Goldwater in 1964? That campaign led straight to Reagan ... the problem with the Republicans being that with the Peter Principle in full bloom (yes, I get the pun) the Republicans produced George W. Bush, the 43rd president of these United States.

Personally—as an aside—if Hillary dillary gets the Democrats' nomination, I would vote for Bloomberg in a heartbeat.

And with that in mind, I will be checking out the Unity08 political action campaign.
