"But if we haven't completed this process by 2008, tell me why it's okay to facilitate handing the country over to the Rats."

I, and many others have been attempting to make significant changes for years. If only it were possible to do this in one year!

The problem, see, is that quite a few folks still think playing politics is where it's at. Dems vs. 'Pubbies, ad infinitum. Getting nowhere fast. That "quiz thread" is but one example. Them vs. us, and where does it get us? As long as you still believe that is all there is, you will be stuck playing their game. You can't win their game.

No. As long as you realize that, at this point in history, the two-party system is entrenched in American politics, you won't be stuck doing politically futile acts.

The fact of the two-party system---the fact that, on Election Day, one of the major political party candidates WILL win whether you vote or not---is not "their game." It is reality. Deal with it.

Sure, we should always be trying to move the ball in terms of our ideals for society. We should always try to be making "significant changes." But that doesn't mean casting a protest vote is worthwhile or wise.

I asked you why is it okay to facilitate handing the country over the Rats. Ever.

Would you kindly address that?
