When Abramoff heats up, I can see centrists forming a party ala Israel

[blm]

and their centrist party. They will form a whole new party as a way of escaping accountability for their own failures to uphold the original missions of their parties.

And I can also see them running against the far right and the far left.

I can also see the media promoting the hell out of this. Somehow they will make the sins of the neocons and Jack Abramoff equal to the anguished demonstrations of Cindy Sheehan and the antiwar Democrats.

1. and what will this party/movement be called?

[blm]

2. Whatever test-markets the best. The moment I heard about a centrist party

forming in Israel, I knew it would happen eventually here in the US.

I absolutely don't WANT it to happen, but, if the Israeli party proves successful, it will only be a matter of time.

4. Israel has a parliamentary system, unlike our divided government

Divided between the executive and legislative branches.

5. The Shopping Rights Party

Stay away from any issue that promotes political awareness. Nothing that disrupts the balance between working for shit wages, and rampant consumerism of shoddy merchandise. The people have a right to be left alone to just go shopping.

3. That would be wild

In Ohio, legislative rules and elections administration are so intertwined with the two party system, that I don't think we would know what to do.
