DOYLE:
1) in hr.1, Pat Buchanan and Jerry talked about Third Party efforts to win elections and agreed that such is impossible today. Pat thinks that huge amounts of money and charismatic candidates are necessary and lacking in outsider groups. So, I say . . . WRONG! The real problem is the very STRUCTURE of our election system. If we continue with this ONE-DAY ELECTION system, then we will continue to be CONTROLLED by the two parties. This is another of the SERIOUS holes in our Constitution! I am working on an article (half finished) that proposes we amend The Constitution to set up a 4-round PLAYOFF system (like any other sports playoffs) that would open things up to an unlimited number of parties. Watch for it at this site.
2) in hr.3, Jerry discusses Jon Voight's statement that Obama is leading us toward a Civil War. So, I say . . . Yes, we are headed in that direction, BUT, we can control it's nature IF we have the right LEADER. Jerry seems to think we can all act like a giant flock of birds -- 100 million of us turning instantly together in whatever direction we must go. NO! man is a species that acts more like SHEEP. Sheep need a SHEPHERD!
