I really got into this Third Way back in the mid 90's. Off the top of my head, I remember Gingrich was very tight with Alvin & Heidi Toffler. It was these two "former" socialists who introduced Gingrich to this hybrid brand of politics. Clinton, incidentally, mentioned the Third Way countless times publicly, if anyone is inclined to research the term. I've come to realize the Third Way is nothing more than a combination of transnational corporatism, imperialism and neo Capitalism (quite a stew).
I recall alan keyes going boinkers over the third way crap........all over clinton and blair; said if bush continued with certain language that he, alan, would be in the race.
At this point, i don't much care. we seem to be a nation that doesn't know shit from apple butter any more, all too willing to elect corruptible personages who prove to be cowards as well as liars, who shred the constitution better than any paper shredder could. All 'we' demand is to have oprah at 3, springer at 4, some talking head at 5, and then basketball, baseball, football, or some desperate housewife or stranded on an island wannabe who couldn't sing if their life depended on it.
I find life more refreshing of late to stay away from any 'indepth' exposure to the scum and corruption called fedgov....and the kneepadders who embrace them, who enable them, who defend them to the detriment of the nation.
