Only an ideologue can see no difference in the parties. They are essentially hopeless and malcontents who look for any excuse to go off on a tangent. No one can count on them.

Like a man looking for a bride rejects one beautiful girl after another because none are perfect, I don't take them seriously. One is a little too tall, another a little too short, one has a crooked nose another a big nose, one has a gap in her teeth another's teeth are crooked, yada yada yada.

I am not talking about aesthetics. I am talking about direction of travel. This is not a beauty contest.

If you are treading water in the ocean and 2 people offer to help you, one by tossing you a 5 pound weight and the other a 1 pound weight, which one helped you more? Neither. The each decreased your chances of survival.

Both the republicans and the democrats have increased gun restrictions, increased taxes, increased the size of government. Most Republicans have gone in this direction more slowly than the democrats. Some of the republicans have pushed the other way, but very few.

Like I said, if the choice is winding up with no rights in 10 years versus 50 years, I would prefer 50, but I will vote for never. Bush did reduce taxes some. He did sign the PBA. He has said he does not want the AWB, but would sign it if presented to him. This is a mixed message but overall the direction is not really changed, just slowed down a bit.

So, the emergency room doctor says, we can improve your condition concerning the knife that is stuck in you. We can limit additional penetration to a quarter inch today, and hopefully we can limit it to another quarter inch tomorrow, and if we build up enough momentum we might be able to back it out an eighth next fall.

No. Get it out now. Reverse the direction the weight of government oppression is moving now. If everyone would stop voting for the best they think they can hope for and vote for what they actually believe in we would all be much better off. Or at the very least we would have some integrity left to us.
