NO LABELS FAILURE TO LAUNCH

NO LABELS FAILURE TO LAUNCH

By: Derek Varsalona

The No Labels, ticket is having a failure to launch problem.  That is just how the two major parties the Democrats and Republicans want it to be.  Both parties want the No Labels coalition to fail since they threaten both parties.  Yesterday, No Labels, failed another setback after Governor Chris Christie declared he would not take their endorsement for President of the United States.  During that same week, their co-founder Joe Lieberman died after a fall in his house.  The Centrist group is still looking for a candidate. Both the Democrats and the Republicans want there to be a stranglehold on the politics so no legitimate third party has a shot at being on people's minds let alone finding a place in office.

No Labels a rising third-party contender failed to launch after another setback for their Presidential nominee.  A week after Joe Lieberman died as of complications from a fall, their next hopeful candidate Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey outright said no.  The brash Governor decided that now and possibly never is the time for him to be the party nominee.  This shows how hard it is to be a third-party contender in America.  The two major parties have a stranglehold on the politics in this country giving each person the illusion of having a choice in the matter. 

The key here is to get the money out of politics.  But that will never happen since the Supreme Court ruled in the Citizens United Case that sending on political campaigns with no limits made the Feingold-McCain bill unconstitutional.  The fact of the matter is that we will never get money out of politics.  Money in politics is here to stay for its entirety.  The fact of the matter is that this was ruled to be a free speech issue by the Supreme Court.

Whether you like it or not money is never going to get out of politics.  As for No Labels, they are here to stay on a long and bumpy political road ahead. As always comments accepted.
