The New Party – A little remembered fact.

The N[np1.JPG]ew Party was a third political party in the United States that was active from 1992 to 1998.

The New Party was founded in the early 1990s by Daniel Cantor, a former staffer for Jesse Jackson's 1988 presidential campaign, and by sociology and law professor Joel Rogers as an effort to break with the largely unsuccessful history of left-leaning third parties in the United States.

The party could best be described as social democratic (for those that do not know, social democracy supports positions that include support for a democratic welfare state merging elements of socialism and capitalism, resulting in a mixed economy combined with a comprehensive welfare state) in orientation, although party statements almost invariably used the terms "small-d democratic" or "progressive" instead. Its founders chose the name "New Party" in an effort to strike a fresh tone, free of associations with dogmas and ideological debates.

After a false start in New York, the New Party built modestly successful chapters in several states. Some of these chapters — such as those in Chicago and Little Rock — had their main bases of support in the low-income community organizing group ACORN, along with some support from various labor unions especially the SEIU or Service Employees International Union. Left-wing critics of the New Party, such as supporters of the Green Party, argued that the New Party was merely a pressure group on the fringes of the Democratic Party, rather than a genuinely new political party


My point? We the American People were not told about these things during the campaign or before. If anything Beck, O’Reilly, and all the blogs have been too kind to the legacy media and the Oministration. The ties are deeper and worse than anyone ever imagined. Wait…you didn’t zoom in the picture did you? Look at it. That is right, our Dear Leader was endorsed by this “party”. This got like one mention in the press that I can remember during the election but BHO said that he was not a member of the party and the story lost traction and was forgotten. The more we learn of Van Jones, and the rest of the gang the more we seem shocked at the layers upon layers of connections to Statism (Socialism/Communism, etc.) and Radicalism. We recently learned that Valerie Jarrett’s mother worked for Bill Ayers’ Father. And that her Father in Law was friends with Frank Marshall Davis, who was friends with BHO’s Grandfather. Davis as we all know was a mentor to young Barry Obama-Soetoro. That they all knew each other is a given. I do not want to rehash what many of you know, and if you do not know it just Google those names together to catch up. The point I want to make is that how in heaven’s name did this guy get this far with these ties? We all know the corruption in the so called MSM. But I have difficulty wrapping my head around just how BAD it is. I knew McCain was a lame duck, but I didn't realize just how bad he was either. With all of this DIRT everywhere on the now pResident why on earth did McCain not capitalize on this stuff? How easy would this have been? Sour grapes now, I know. I guess I am just saying that some times I think that maybe, just maybe, I am listening to the wrong things and I have got it all wrong. Then I start reading and googling, and BLAMMO it is worse than I thought.

Make no mistake we have a Statist, Central Planning, Capitalist Hating Anti-Liberty Radical in the White House, and Race ain’t got a damn thing to do with it.

If they are going to call apples apples and then hide it, then we should call apples apples and broadcast it. We can stick one right in the face of the "new party" by renaming the 9/12 protest the 2 MILLION MAN MARCH. The difference between the "new party" supported "million man march" and our march is WE HAVE THE NUMBERS TO BACK IT UP. We could also rename their march the 1/2 million man march. One small difference between their "new party"and our march is that WE have had IMMEDIATE policy impacts and have done so openly, not hiding in the background which is so easy a caveman can do it. Now that the "new party" and it's lapdogs are out in the open, they are heading for the hills. Especially when we seem to converge on Washington DC, right Barry???
I forgot to say that since you asked why Mccain didn't capitalize on this....I believe he saw the problems this country was heading into and decided he didn't want the job of being President right around the time he temporarily suspended his campaign to go to DC and vote for the bailouts.
You ask 'how in heaven’s name did this guy get this far with these ties?' I think the point is he wouldn't have gone very far without them. He's not strong enough or smart enough to get there on his own. He rode a wave of socialists and government planners the whole way up.
It's amazing what you can do with an accomplice media.
Exactly, Lynnae. Despite all his titles and the letters after his name, he isn't the most ambitious bloke. It's not that difficult to ride the train of academia for a loooooong time. Couple that with everyone wanting to shape you into some sort of modern, leftist version of Jesus Christ and as a result treating you with kid gloves the whole way--pretty soon they are doing all the work and you're just showing up.

Also--we have an entire country who knows nothing of communism. They honestly can not tell you if one is better than the other. And if they can twist their brains into saying communism is at least on par with capitalism they are lauded as being fine critical thinkers.
