Because, without term limits, many career politicians in both Democrat and Republican elections are found-out by media to be utterly corrupt, with Republican more so than Democrats, and my wife and I refused to cast our votes for President in the last three national elections.
The political battles on both sides appear to be much more in self-interest than national concern. But the media are not by any means innocent of self-interest, choosing the most bizarre stories so as to sell newspapers or advertising for television. The original 18th century patriots were farmers who served as leaders in Washington for very limited times, then returned to work their farms.
Many third parties have unsuccessfully been attempted, but they did not have the benefit of so blatantly corrupt Democrats and most especially blatantly corrupt Republicans. The very few Republicans who stand against their party’s corruptions, such as their serving on the Jan. 6 Committee, are courageous statesmen who risk their lives by doing so, when violent Republicans have already threatened them.
Violence is nothing new in America. All violence depicted on television and in movies are audience-driven, which is reflected in money involved, the selling of advertising on television and profits in the box office in movies. Far too many Americans adore violence, but the same can be said about almost any country! So, it’s a human problem. The FORWARD PARTY might have a chance to do something positive to correct at least some of this and therefore has my support.
Sincerely,
Rev. William F. Baughan, M.Div., M.Ed.
