Would you support a new centrist rational political party, the NSE party?
Would anyone support a new political party called Neither Stupid Extreme? Republicans seem to like war and money and little else. Democrats don't seem to understand the need for successful growing businesses with reasonable taxation. I believe we need rational leaders with proven managerial abilities that care for both people and business and strive for a happy compromise and an efficient government. Would you support this?

Horrible name, but this is all but inevitable if both parties continue to move farther and farther from center, as they have been for over a generation now. This is actually already starting to happen, with groups like the Independence Party of Minnesota, and the Moderate Party of Rhode Island leading the way, and a bunch of small groups in other states that are starting to bubble up.
The country really is a tinder box... I call what is going on the "centrist / moderate groundswell", since it's clearly not yet a movement, but the big tent center is mostly disconnected from the two major parties, and looking for other options.
If you're not kidding, I'd contact Ken Block at the Moderate Party of Rhode Island, for advice on how to get started. He really has his head on straight... went from zero to having statewide ballot access for his party in something like two years, and will be running a bunch of state senate candidates this year.

Yes, but it would take a president, senators, governors and representatives of a centrist party to all come into office at the same time to make real changes.

I support Ron Paul. He is a candidate for we the people. He believes that each person is important as an individual and is entitled to personal liberties and self ownership.
Source(s): In an unstable Middle East, Israel is the one anchor of stability. In a region of shifting alliances, Israel is America’s unwavering ally. Israel has always been pro-American. Israel will always be pro-American. My friends, you don’t have to -- you don’t need to do nation-building in Israel. We’re already built. You don’t need to export democracy to Israel. We’ve already got it. And you don’t need to send American troops to Israel. We defend ourselves. - Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, speech to the US Congress, May 24th, 2011 Of all the objections to Ron Paul, perhaps the most prevalent one is in regards to Israel. This can become a very complicated subject, and it is often made that way to confuse and mislead. Arguably, the focus should be on three key things: Israel's right to exist. Israel's right to self govern. Stop helping Israel's enemies. On June 7th, 1981, Israel performed a daring raid (Operation Opera) on the Iraqi nuclear reactor at Osirak. I won't go into all the details here, since there are books written about it, but this much is clear: the world condemned Israel. The UN Security Council (unanimous, Security Resolution 487), the US State Department, pretty much everyone - except Ron Paul. He publicly broke with President Reagan, most allied leaders including Margaret Thatcher, and our own government in praising Israel's right to exit and determine their own course. Ron Paul believes in Israel's right to exist.
