Bloomberg for President?

This could be the start of a nationwide Independent movement where there would be a middle aisle and the outside edges would need move toward center and on issues that are at the heart of our national security and central to our defense there would be an anchor of principle. Power in the legislative as it moved toward Indpendent would provide an interesting slant on the committee structure of congress.

Having Liberman as an Independent provides an opportunity for better brokerage of what is right for the country and not the party. Maybe there could be a deeper look in the Fair Tax proposal and if there were a need for budget changes it could be more easily reached with great support from the people.

I enjoy watching C-Span and the committees at action. I see both Democrate and Republican (at least on Ike Skeleton's committe working to help the defense department meet its goals/objectives and timetables within budget. There is concern for the health issues of the military and dependents as well as top tecnology for the accomplishing the mission.

Go Independent
