Ready for a Change

Here is a great article from Peggy Noonan on her thoughts on a shift in American politics towards a new political party.

I, for one, am all in favor of a new party. When you get right down to it, are there really any significant differences between Republicans and Democrats?

Abortion? At first blush, yes. The "official" Republican position is pro-life, and the official Democratic position is pro-abortion. However, in reality, how pro-life are Republicans? When's the last time you saw a Republican come right out and say "abortion is murder", or "I'm unequivocally pro-life"? For crying out loud, Republicans hold the presidency and both the House and Senate -- yet don't even have the moral conviction to outlaw partial-birth abortion!

Republicans pro-life? Give me a break.

And let's see a new political party -- one that is truly conservative. One that's truly pro-life; one that's truly in favor of limited government; one that's truly in favor of lowering taxes; one that's truly in favor of free market economics.
