Very good points and you may possibly be correct. Couldn't you, however, just reverse the party names in your comment and have an equally true statement?
Seems to me the only pitch the republicans have is to say they're not democrats, so vote for me. The republicans are just as morally bankrupt as the dems (not to mention spend as much, expand gov't, etc), hence my desire to throw them all out.
Can you say "Ross Perot"???
I have another object lesson. I have a nephew who is a little slow. He is a hard worker but has trouble keeping a job. He was working for a fast-food restaurant. He needed more money so he asked for more hours. When he wasn't scheduled to work more than he was. He quit. He didn't understand that he should have found another job which would allow him more hours rather than quit the job he had. Now he had no income at all. Get the point???
No they're not. Not by a million miles.
When did you arrive on our planet?
