With the Democrats and Republicans continuing this fighting, back biting, slandering, playing one-up-manship, vengence it seems like a bitter national divorce fighting over custody of the general public: Two parties forgetting their responsibility toward us, forcing us to take sides against each other.
It is a lose, lose situation. If the Dems win we have to accept whatever they force on us and the same holds true for the Republicans.
They have pitted us against each other for their own advantage and we have blindly allowed it to happen. No matter what happens 50% of the population will be punished and coddled again right before the elections.
If this is not changed at the grass roots we will fail at all our endeavors.
Alas, we have driven all the true statesmans away.
Kinda like Humpty Dumpty.

Maybe you should be pleased you only have two parties, in Europe and here in Australia we have numerous little penny-ante political parties, like the Greens, the anti-immigration parties, Communists etc. They are always trying to cut deals and merge with one another. Not so much a messy divorce as a whole season of Days of Our Lives. Look on the bright side Democrats and Republicans have not actually had a proper war since 1865.

yes, apparently both parties cant get things straight, iraq is a complete disaster and i do hear of a draft coming on if we dont pull out soon. bush keeps funding for this war and national security is weak, and they cant agee that its a failure. they both did their share of the ****-ups
