Our country was founded as a Republic based on Democracy. If you do not like that then you are a radical.

Actually, I think that almost all of our politicians are immoral! There are very few that I would consider otherwise. The fact that you do not YET realize this is either that you are too young and naive or some other reason that I will not mention. It is something that will grow on you as you grow older.

Politics is like a Used Car Salesman (only worse). They usually start out reasonable and then become corrupted by the money. In the case of politics, throw in power and you have the ultimate high.

You will learn as you age - Politics are about picking the least corrupt and least dishonest of the choices offered. We have no statesmen today and right now, none appear to be available for the future.

I know I sound a bit pessimistic, but old experience and age tend to do that...

At 61, I don’t feel all that young.

But, thank you for the condescension.

And still, you will not explain how you condemn the party’s as immoral, yet you excuse a tactic you claim is also immoral but Democratic.

Until you can explain that, there is no need for further discussion.

That is my own “old experience and age.”

Politics used to be about picking the least corrupt and least dishonest of the choices offered. Today, politics in most cities (and some states) is about picking the most corrupt and dishonest of the choices offered...with the help of ACORNuts, some unions, soros, et al. Take Obama's 'lead contributor' according to opensecrets, UCLA. Is it the UC part or the LA part that is corrupt, or is it both? Is UCLA now a money laundering operation for Buddhist monks and soros? so many questions, so little time 'til November. Inquiring minds want to know.
