I know what you mean. They (Rove) hope we forget OR the Democratic choice is so bad, we have to vote. Personally, I loose either way. America is GONE. There will be a place with the name USA, but it will be a third world dump, social welfare state with no hope of recovery. Clinto, Ted Kennedy, Martinez, Bush, JJ and Fat Al will all be on the currency -0 worth -0- BTW.
I do not know the name of the dude, wrote a book in 1770. He stated that after 200 years a Democracy reverts to a Dictatorship - usually after the people realize they can vote the money out of the Treasury.
As I see it, the Political Parties pander to the electorate via the Treasury, and think they know more than the electorate. Soon we will have a President who thinks s/he knows more than the Political Party and that is the end.
They started that in the 1930s because of the depression and it has never stopped but only continues to get worse. There have been a few who've tried to slow it down but that's the best they've been able to do. All these amnestied will be voting for democrats for decades to come so we can expect the treasury to get filled with our taxes until they can't get anymore out of us.
