You seem intelligent. How on earth does it not make a difference if the country creeps towards socialism slowly or races there at 100 miles per hour? HOW ON EARTH DOES THAT NOT MATTER?! Suck it up and get a stomach. This is no time to cut and run because we're 'peeved' that things are not going the way we would like.
Well, moving towards socialism is moving towards socialism. It is simply splitting hairs to point out that one party is doing it more slowly than another since, either way, it is going to happen. I may not feel the full effects of this in my lifetime, but those that come after me deserve a better fate than what they'll be handed.
And I'm not cutting and running, but simply stating my utter disgust with all things Washington. I will most likely hold my nose and vote for the worthless Republicans that will be on the ballot in November.
