[quote=Arraya]the American people can ‘throw the rascals out’ at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy.[/quote]
Arraya, I don’t want a revolution.
I’m perfectly happy with incremental change in the “right” socially liberal direction.
Despite the conservatives’ efforts to arrest social progress, we are moving in the right direction.
Culture war or not, the social progressives will win and the conservatives will be dragged along kicking and screaming.
It’s only a matter of time, sooner or later… (of course sooner would be preferable over later).

The Clinton/Lewinski affair was nothing. The man had sex and lied out it. So what? Leave him alone.
I’m sure you’d say that I’m morally flexible and you’d be right.
The prosecutor should determine if a crime is even worth prosecuting before spending time and resources.
There are bigger fish to fry out there.
Wouldn’t the pragmatic war strategist in you come to the same conclusion?

October 17, 2009 at 5:19 PM #470407briansd1Guest[quote=Zeitgeist]I think they are mostly identical: both being the party of the corporation and not the party of the people who they represent. What say you, Arraya?[/quote]
If you think the two political parties are identical then why all the vociferous support for Palin/McCain?
Just let Obama win and do what he wants to do.
I personally think that the Democrats are vastly preferable to the Republicans.
And if you put the parties aside for a moment, Obama, the man, is vastly superior to McCain in every way.
If you can’t support either party, vote for the best of the men, or women.
