Lets see freddy... what are the alternatives... to lock down the environment with intransigence or Close down Government altogether. This is a big country with a big infrastructure on a diverse planet with a miriad of problems. Libertarians have not put together a plan that will work in a global setting and guard or help the least of us fight the large corporations over health care, medicine, retirements, wages, fuel costs, education... Give me some insite at wdsfo2@yahoo.com. What do you have in mind... I'd love to hear what you think America should be.

This is easy. The Republicans have screwed us over the most. They took the biggest budget surplus and smallest government of all time under Bill Clinton and turned it into the biggest deficit of all time while increasing government spending. They also got us into Iraq instead of staying in Afghanistan and getting Bin Ladin, the real man behind 9/11, not Hussein. Furthermore, Republicans have controlled both houses of Congress 99% of the time since 1994. They have voted to raise their own pay by $35,000 in the last 10 years while failing to raise the minimum wage since 1997. They only did it then because Clinton twisted their arm.
Furthermore, all they do is give tax cuts to the middle class while telling us what is morally right and wrong instead of trying to increase the minimum wage or give us health care.
Bottom line, the Republicans are in control of the House, the Senate, the Presidency and the Supreme Court and things are always getting tougher for the poor and the middle class while the rich get richer.
Bush also wants to give amnesty to illegal immigrants, sell our ports to foreign owned companies and sell our airlines to foreign owned companies. This is not helping the war on terrorism. This is increasing our chances of getting attacked in the future.
Bottom line. The Republicans are only for the wealthy and the Democrats are the party of the poor and middle class. The shame of it is is that Democrats can't campaign to win and the Republicans can't govern. This makes things only harder for poor and middle class Americans.

We do not have a choice in our elections. Vote for whoever you want but when it comes down to it we will get Dem. or Rep. One or the other and I am SICK of it. Political parties nowadays are a JOKE and are taking advantage of the people who vote for them by not truly representing them. Oh yeah they can defend there platforms like crazy but I want some ACTION, not the bickering back and forth. A lot of issues are pissing the people of the U.S. and the world off right now and our politicians are doing NOTHING. They fire back and forth at each other about who's paryt is better and don't really solve any problems. Poltitcal parties also get in the way of a real person getting far up the ladder by controlling the media during the elections and telling lies about what they are going to do. They are causing a huge rift by letting these issues drag on and the entire world is mocking us and our leadership because they are doing nothing but argue with each other about things. Our politicans need a boot in the kiester to get things going and start making decisions. I don't care anymore what really happens with the issue I just want them to solve something for a change and not just argue about it. The longer issues go unresolved, the bigger the rift will get until we all reach our breaking points. I love my freedom to vote but we don't really have a choice because, until we really wan't a change, it will be a Democrat or Republican every time and we will not see any changes for the better. No I will never again vote for a member of any political party. Our country is being mocked by the entire world for our leaders ineffectiveness with handlinfg our problems. Politicans are taxing the hell out of us while not solving any issues. They need to sit down and stop bickering about whos party is better and just do something. Take illegal immigration for instance. If they would just decide on what to do and DO IT, some people would be pissed at the decision, but Americans would get over it and we could just put the issue at rest. The rift between people in this country is going to get wider and wider as long as the big issues remain unsolved until we all reach our breaking point. We as a people are being mocked by the world because of our leaders ineffectiveness. It is not just one party, it is both of them. Yeah Bush is not doing so well with our country but what are the Democrats doing to make itt better? Nothing. They bash him to know end and are only trhinking about the next election and not solving any problems either.

That's a good question, the dems stopped civil rights for a looong time. And now the GOP is destroying the environment and the poor. And civil rights for gays. And our attempts to improve science and medicine.
Well, call me biased but I'm gonna say the GOP. The breadth of their destruction is breathtaking, although the dems were really focused just on the blacks for a long time.
Do you REALLY think the answer is a different party? Anyone who wants that power will just go to the most powerful party no matter what.

It's hard to say who has screwed us the worst, but I'm going with Republicans being the worst.
There needs to be a new party that isn't extremist.
How about the MOTR party? for Middle of the Road or
GFA party? for Government for All or
IOGS party? for It's Our Government Stupid

Both. All either does is complain and screw us over just to make the other look bad. What we need is a dictator. At least then he'll tell everyone to shut the Hell up and stop this endless crap.
