Besides, the Democrats have become the party of crybabies who no longer have the guts to say what they really want to do. Their primary objective is to attempt to create scandals in hope of bringing down the Republicans rather than actually doing something worth while to get anyone to vote for them.

Perhaps you would be willing to expand on the clusterfudge in another thread??? I would like to know what you think he did that was so wrong, but dont want to hijack.

As for the second paragraph, you could throw republicans into that statement and get the exact same truth. Both parties suck.

McCain/Liberman would be hard to beat on a ticket. All i Know is whatever ticket hillary is on, I am going the other way.

Oh well, the truth hurts. Live with it. Get some real candidates besides the losers you guys run, and offer a decent alternative. Of course, I guess Kerry is what you would call a decent alternative to ............................. ............................. ............................. .

Dean:rolleyes:

Yeah I said it, and you gave a perfect example of what I was talking about. Blame everyone but your precious republicans. Who was it that said he would be a "uniter NOT a Divider?" oh yeah that's right, A republican president. Oh well, we are more divided now than we have ever been. Republican leadership lies right in the face of their Base and they ignore it. Charming how that works.

I do however agree Dems candidates seem to not have spines.

The republican party is about power and being in charge and they seem to have forgotten they used to be for responsible spending, smaller federal government, and a larger military.

Our leadership on both sides of the aisle has become polluted and we as the citizens encourage it by putting them back in office anyway.

The Republicans are the people who live most everywhere between New York and Los Angeles

I would probably vote straight Republican if it was the same party as the past. It's not. I now vote for whichever party stands to best balance the excesses of the other. In Illinois that tends to be Republican, since Daley wields power far beyond the city and I live too close to his zone of control.

Nationally, anybody but the current crop of neocon Republican posers. A moderate Republican, or moderate democrat with a solid libertarian base would be a god send.

I heard about something that happened in the 1860's... some sort of angry feelings...

Gotta be careful about making statements like yours.

as of late you don't hear anything positive out of the democrats. All you hear is their hate speech.

Don't blame him... he's just bitter. If Clinton were allowed to run again, there's not a chance that Dubya could have beat him.

Thanks folks. I was reading something just previous to this post, and I wanted to take the temperature here. Your comments are much appreciated.

I know holden but I would like to have thought we as a people would have progressed to the point that a civil war would be unnecassary.

Its no longer about who is better, its about who is worse. And instead of touting their stengths they focus on the other parties "weaknesses". Instead of what "we" do, its become what "they" do. Sad when the only way you look good is by comparing yourself to another group that is just as bad. And that is how I feel every time Republicans justify their actions by throwing clintons name in.

charon.. not gonna happen the libertarian base thing... the powers that be have just gotten too big and their agenda of control over us is written in stone...

No way out for the republican or democrat hacks... You won;t get more libertarian leaning ones.. all you get is shades of each other.... repulicans that may be more socialist than other repulicans and democrats that may be more right wing than their fellows..

The only thing I notice is that the democrats are putting socialism on the express track... they are not "balance" they are simply a hive of worker bees all working toward total socialism and control..

Solution? a plague or bomb or catastrophe that kills about 10% or more of the population.... in the mean time? vote republican and slow the slide... move to an area of less population and hope the feds don't have time to bother with you.

I can't say that I'm a Republican but I can damn sure say I'm not a Democrat.

I voted Democrat in my youth but as I got older I found the party to be out of touch with reality. They seem to be trying to live in a fantasy world that cannot possibly exist.

The Republicans seem to have their heads in the sand. They don't like change and they refuse to waver. The line in the sand is made and only God change move it.

I always try to vote for who I see is the best person. Not who is from what party.

Now it seems I have no choice but to vote Republican.

Hell I would even vote for Billary if I thought she would actually do the things she promises.

There's a really good book that describes the phenominon that Mighty1 is referring to. It's call "South Park Conservatives : The Revolt Against Liberal Media Bias "

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0895260190/qid=1124726429/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-2938095-8590250?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

it's supposed to be an easy read and very "entertaining"

It's a basic premis that alot of people think: "I hate conservatives, but I REALLY fluff'n hate liberals"

It goes along with the chocolate sprinkles comment made earlier.

Book suggestion:
The Death of Right and Wrong. I found myself shaking my head in agreement to every chapter. This will explain to Nash and other liberals why we dislike the left moreso than the right. Written by a lefty lesbian liberal (Former NOW chapter president) that finally saw the light....
