August 4, 2007 (LPAC)--Former Senator Sam Nunn (D-GA), frustrated with the direction of the Presidential race, has had discussions with New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and others about an independent challenge to the major parties, according to Associated Press. "It may be time for some serious people to look at what I call a time-out and having people of good faith in the Democratic and Republican parties to come together and address issues that the parties don't seem to want to address," he said. Though not ruling it out, Nunn insisted that he's not trying to open the door to a campaign of his own. He did say, however, that he plans to speak out more, because he thinks the primary system pushes candidates toward "wing issues" instead of fundamental priorities like long-term fiscal stability and national security.

Nunn's remarks reflect the reality which Lyndon LaRouche pointed to on May 13, when commenting on Sen. Chuck Hagel's announcement that he would wait until late in the summer before deciding on whether he would be a presidential candidate. LaRouche said at the time, that the parties' decisions to concentrate the primaries in the month of February, would enrage the American voters and create openings for independent candidacies which will mean an end to the party system. This would lead directly to the ungovernability of the United States, like what already exists in Great Britain, France, Belgium and elsewhere in Europe east of Russia and Belarus. Not only Hagel, but other potential candidates, including former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Bloomberg (who recently changed his party affiliation from "Republican" to "independent") and now Nunn may be positioning themselves to exploit that rage.
