I cannot believe what I read here.
Why is everyone so concerned with finding the 'lesser of evils?'
Why not take a step back and realize it's all a game, to keep people busy so they don't see the real problems that face all of us (ALL OF US, regardless of which political puppet party we like)

I agree with your logic, it's really all emotional behavior learned at an early age passed down from your parents, I believe. I vote on the issues at hand, and right now Bush and co are a bad thing for America.

A true people's president will never be elected again. Maybe one never has been it's only more obvious now, because what leaders are after is seen through the media, tv & newsrags & magazines. Even they have their own agenda. There is no "lesser of two evils" because depending on which side you are on you believe you candidate to be the "lesser". It's been downhill since Washington said he didn't want to be king & people should only serve for a certain amount of time.

There's a saying that goes "there are two sides to every story" and that is clearly the case in our political system. The Democrats and the Republicans represent different sides to the issues. It's reached a point where each side bashes the other's integrity and character in hopes to discredit the other in intellectual debate. We've apparently hit a stalemate. It is difficult to be persuaded to another point of view when the opposing side debates the issues with perposturous conspiracy theories rather than engage in intellectual debate on the merits and cons of the issue itself.

You can't solve the issues of government as long as the Republicans are in there trying to rob the treasury and subvert our government. It makes it simply impossible to do anything.
It took the Republicans less than 1 year to undue every bit of progress Clinton made in 8 years on the deficit and start piling up mounds and mounds of debt. How can you plan for the longterm when someone is constantly upsetting the applecart for shortterm political gain and corruption.
Any progress has got to begin with Americans wising up and getting the chicken thieves out of the hen house.

Read Lou Dobb's commentary today. I normally can't stand the pedantic geriatric, but today he made sense:
"While the name of the party in charge may change from Republican to Democrat, it's really only a branding issue. And just as my friend James Mtume says, it's still the same bird, just a different wing. And believe me, middle-class America will still be getting the bird."

the unique thought of our shape and our invoice of rights grew to become into based upon the seen the supremacy of the guy. If the 1st attention of government is for the guy..... ALL persons..... then no person gets ignored of any earnings or detriment the government enacts. on the different hand liberalism relies upon concerns being utilized to teams..... to a undeniable component to our inhabitants, yet to no longer others..... based upon some nebulous ought to earnings or to punish. interior the 1st case no person gets excluded. interior the 2nd case exclusion, no longer equality, is the purpose. merely have a extreme seem at what the liberals right here on YA say, and what they help. it is not equality. They help the two reward or outcomes being utilized or presented to precise segments of our inhabitants, yet to no longer all. it somewhat is preferential scientific take care of some, yet no longer for all. If our proper government is one that treats every person the two then it can't be a liberal one for that must be one wherein liberals might and do oppose.

I agree with you that its a game and we are the puppets, however, unless we all get out and exercise our constutional right to vote, (before they take that away too) then we really have no right to gripe and moan about anything. Take a stand and VOTE!!! We are the ones letting both parties play us, remember its OUR government and we are the only ones who can change it. I feel we need to do away with electorial votes and go by the vote of the people!! I don't like having someone whom I have never met speaking for me and my vote.

True, all I do is preach to quite voting party-line and vote by issue and individual. Show me a platform rather than pointing out what the other candidate has done wrong. I'm still voting though!

It would be great, for us to all be on the same team, but, people can not realize that just because one party says they invented the internet, or another party says tax the poor to keep them poor, it keeps them at odds with each-other. When people finally realize, that, we, as a whole, are trying to keep each-other, and our nation complete, we must not fight each-other, then will we be able to understand U.S., US.

A voice of reason, how refreshing.
As we develop more and more weapons of mass destruction and religion gets more radical everyday. Both parties are radical.
It is only a matter of time before we extinguish ourselves what they fail to realize. We are all on this planet together, when we go it will be together. Not him versus him but everybody.

I would agree if that didn't sound suspiciously like a conspiracy theory. It's true tho. at this point, both parties are acting like children. aren't we all Americans? Love for our country should be the main thing, not petty party squabbling!
