You would think a brick in the head the last time with Clinton should have educated you enough to not repeat getting hit in the head with a brick again. What does it take for some people to learn?

The Clintons were disgusting, but remember Jimmy Carter in 1976? He was running for election after the grossly over-hyped 'Watergate scandal' when Republican was a dirty name, and he proceeded to drag the country down in so many ways.

Just imagine an Al Gore presidency after the 2000 election. He wanted the U.S. to be a signatory to the Kyoto Treaty and a member of the ICC, among many other things. Does anyone really think Gore would have been tougher than Jorge on illegal immigration? And what in the world would Al Gore have done after 9/ll besides gaining 50 pounds?

And then there was Kerry in 2004, and maybe he would have just thrown his ribbons over the Afghanistan border and walked off. (The only reason I regret Kerry's defeat was that Teresa Heinz (Pickles) in the White House would have been funnier than any Monty Python sketch.)

It would be interesting to have more than 2 viable political parties, but we always come down to the fact that nationally the Democrats don't field any half-way decent candidates. So we vote for the lesser of two evils unless you want to throw your vote away on some 3rd party candidate like Ross Perott or Pat Buchannan. Practically speaking, IMHO, promoting strong local Republicans for office and working from the grassroots up is the only outlet we have to try and improve things.

xJones, IMO the reason we have had a lot or Republicans act out more to the left than we would like is because of the prior success Democrats have had in buying the vote by giving the treasury away.

How does the honest party compete by saying life takes hard work and sacrifice when the other party gives it away just enough to gain their dependence on them?

If you look at what is DEMOCRAT in the voting block, most of it IMO are public employees who are vastly overpaid and unions connected to government who we also know could NOT survive in the private sector.

IMO, the end of the Democrat party for good comes when the following simple law is passes:
No public/union job connected to the government that requires tapping tax payer dollars has the right to pay/pensions or any form of compensation that will exceed the average wage found in the private sector. This would NOT mean the private sector has to bump up wages, but the the public sector needs to lower them.

That is where the action is, and when you get the hands out of the cookie jar, more voters will vote what is best for the country instead of their state of federal sponsored wages.

The teacher's unions are the worst problem in America IMO, they play all sides against the end goal of increasing their power and pay and there is no accountability.

THE ABOVE IS WHERE THE ACTION IS, NOT IN ANY VIABLE 3RD PARTY IMO.
