I like the Democratic Party. Good luck. You'll need it.


So you *like* the "ignorant, incompetent assholes who've been running our
country?"

The Republicans have been running the country, totally, for at least 6
years.

See, that's the problem with you partisan types. You refuse to admit that
your party is culpable for anything beyond ignorance.

As a political party, the Democrats are just as shiftless, corrupt and
worthy of blame as the Republicans.

That both parties *main* focus, year after year, has been partisan control
of government and not bi-partisan work to improve the income, health, and
educational status of the American people is proof positive that the current
two-party system is detrimental to the well-being of Americans. By
extension, Americans have come to show, at best, a benign neglect for people
of even less means around the world. Why do you think so many people jumped
on the Bush bandwagon, and held on so tightly as it careened off a cliff to
certain death, doom and destruction.

We talk of competition in capitalist economics, yet distain competition in
out political system? Why? Because, those who have the most to gain,
monetarily, have the bullhorn and have inculcated the American people with a
myopic view of the political landscape.

Why haven't we done anything to improve our energy situation? It's not the
fault of one or the other party, it's the fault of BOTH parties. Why didn't
we, like the Brazilians, recognize the potential dangers of foreign energy
reliance, back in the 1970s? Did our elected representatives assume that a
magic pill would be developed to solve our energy needs? or did they assume
that our geo-political ties would remain unchanged forever and/or our
military would ensure the free flow of oil for the U.S. economy forever?

We need new ideas in our government, and they won't be forthcoming from the
Dems. or Repubs.

What was your perspective on Johnson's escalation of the Vietnam conflict,
rw? I can only assume that you were or would have been in favor of our
incursion into Vietnam, by your unwavering support for the Dems.

Hell, neither of the sons a bitches (Dems. and Repubs.) can even bring
themselves to do the most important task charged to them by the U.S.
Constitution--Declaration of War!
