Common Sense, by Glenn Beck

There are two types of political books in this world: Those which motivate you and those which depress you. (Actually three, including those that are just boring, but I don't read those for too long.) Common Sense is the kind that depresses you. Glenn Beck's point, since he is a libertarian, is that the people who wasted their vote in the last Pennsylvania senate race aren't the people who voted third-party, but the people who voted for Arlen Specter and were stabbed in the back. He's got a point there, but it is a very depressing one. The last time Republicans tried a massive shift to a third party we elected Bill Clinton. Beck says that our government is insane for instating socialism because "insanity is doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result." Doesn't the same rule apply for swinging over to third parties though? It hasn't worked since before the Civil War. Why are we still trying?
