Republicans suck. Democrats whine about how much they suck and tax us without representation.
I'm disheartened with the government in general and the American people. No one researches anything, they just assume what their party says is right.
I'm a born-again Libertarian. I believe this is the only way to save my soul.
"We teach them to take their patriotism at second-hand; to shout with the largest crowd without examining into the right or wrong of the matter--exactly as boys under monarchies are taught and have always been taught. We teach them to regard as traitors, and hold in aversion and contempt, such as do not shout with the crowd, and so here in our democracy we are cheering a thing which of all things is most foreign to it and out of place--the delivery of our political conscience into somebody else's keeping. This is patriotism on the Russian plan."
- Mark Twain, a Biography

Ex-ultraconservative. Humanist.
Sick of Republicans lies that "liberals" "want" terrorists to win.Sounds more like THEY want the terrorists to win.
Sick of right wing indoctrination used as a poor substitute for common sense.

"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty.... And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure. " - Thomas Jefferson
Maybe it's time to fire the Democrats and Republicans en masse.

The fault is partially with the people, but also with our form of "democracy." It is not representational of public opinion -- if a party gets 49% of the vote, it probably won't get any representation. The people who vote for 3rd parties tend to lose, so there isn't much choice. My party only got 10,000 votes for president in 2004 -- not too many. I absolutely hate, however, the dogmatic economic view that libertarians take -- I find it appalling.

have you noticed how noone is able to pin a socialist brand to my profile, amigo? There is nothing that I said is socialist.
Begoner - yeah, economics is not the best point in any party. Everything else they have to say I (plus or minus a few points) agree with. No president truly effects the economy directly. Only through legislation that requires spending and other things that will indirectly soil the economy.

"Dissent is the highest form of patriotism." - Howard Zinn
If you consider dissent whining, that's your problem, not mine. Even if when I research to show why I feel the way I do, the source is dismissed as "liberal media".
