On a side note, I can barely recall a time that the Republican “loyal opposition” in Congress has been so quiet. Cheney dissolved the EC vote count very quickly on Jan. 8, and IMO, looked like the bird that ate the canary.... very odd...

It sure sounds like the fix is in. I've listened to the shock jocks say that the two-party system is dead, and the way things have been going, THAT's my greatest fear, because it means we'll be having elections like they had in Gaza.

Well the fix was in on trade with communist China past the point where it was beneficial and we are now in big trouble.

And the fix was in on trashing the patent office and the small inventor-entrepreneur despite initial resistance and stout work by Ileana Ross-Lehtinen and a handful of others.

There are many other instances where the Republicans have failed to effectively oppose.

Political parties are not in the Constitution yet present major party has effectively stopped the steady creep of a “penumbra” to put them there as engineered by Kennedy and Dukakis.
