That's why what the country really needs is for the socialists to be purged from the democrat party. they need the bill clinton/bill richardson types to be the left. with the zell millers and the joe liebermans on the right. that party would actually compete with the GOP on the battlefield of ideas. Right now we have two irreconcilable parties, which actually liberates both from accountability. They really have very little competition because so few ppl would be able to vote for either/or. They are too far apart. And yet the dims got 48% so maybe I am totally off base. I feel like there is no way to exert pressure on the GOP, with the dims so far out to lunch, and I find that very frustrating. It doesnt feel like a two party system. It feels like a one party system. It's like, you can choose DSL or Cable, but you can't choose the provider. the primary system is totally not working.
Interesting, I consider them too close together. Both want to spend, spend, spend.
