Have both parties, actually now been taken over by each's own worst stereotypes? (vanity)

Posted on 04/19/2008 2:47:41 PM PDT by Cringing Negativism Network

It occurs to this poster - for the election of 2008 each of the parties - has fallen under the control of the caricatures, each is accused of by the other:

Democrats, really are becoming the far-left bug eyed Marxists, they're accused of being by Republicans.

Republicans, really are beholden to a few big businesses, to which they pledge open borders and so-called "free trade".

I’m writing a name in on my ballot and I’m voting conservative in other races. There’s no point in encouraging the GOP ever more leftward.

As long as the tax structure requires no “contribution” from 50% of the electorate, socialism will continue to prevail.

What happened was too many "conservatives" were so worried about the enemy (the Beast) at the gate, they picked someone who they thought could beat the beast, and disregarded basic conservative principals and the few candidates that espoused them across the board.

How to fix it? Stick to our guns, and don't go for the pretty face, but the beautiful conservative mind.

Democrats are just now openly admitting what they have always believed.

On the Democrat's side, you are right. On the Republican side, it's not the whole story. Beside big business supporters, Republican's stereotypes include bigot, anti-immigrant, and religious zealot. McCain is not seen as any of them.

Their National Committees have so much power running our country that they don't care if we see their agenda anymore.

Parties? What parties? There’s simply them and us. The DC elite against America. Then behind the public face of the DC denizens there is Big Oil and the War Profiteers. Parties don’t mean squat any more. Voting is a waste of time.
