The sad fact is we now have a no party system. Somehow, the Democrats felt a need to fill their backpack full of every wierd, extreme, social cause they could find. Reagan was a democrat before this crap. Now, people react with their guts over social issues, so we have no choice but to vote for a moron because the Democrats refuse to realize we are electing a President and not a priest. I too will vote for this moron who will hurt me economicaly, give business more incentive to screw me, make health care a HMO bottom line, penny pinching, consultan skimmed, executioner, because I wont embrace the ridiculous fringe groups the Democratic party has prostituted itself for. As Reagan said- "I didn't leave the Democratic pary, they left me." Well lately I'm getting the sinking feelin that I'm an orphan.
Just one question - in 1980, who would've taken a the intelect of George W. seriously? Would he have been a contender against Reagan? Obviiously not. Its damn scary there is nothing better out there. We are in sad, sad, shape.
