15. Ah yes! That independent run for the center...that used to be the extreme right...
that used to be called the "Goldwater" wing of the republican party. I remember that. Some would call it libertarian ala Ron Paul, some would call it being practical in reaching necessary goals.

Personally, I call it sliding ever more toward a corporate run society that cares little to nothing about this country and its inhabitants.

Enjoy your "statement".
