Time for a new party

If Obama can be defeated and the momentum taken out of his tenture in office and the bite removed from his words, the Republican Party might feel as if it has been rejuvenated. But after Bush and the mistakes of the GOP in the last eight years, I don't think America is ready for a revitalized republican Party. It is still the party of business, the ultra rich and the religious right.

What is needed is a new party, one that shows it cares about the people but also encourages self reliance while embracing business but not at the expense of the workers. Maybe it could be called the Progressive Party or the American Party.
