But you're willing to install Gore or Daschle over Bush? How about Hillary? Or Feinstein?
Both the Democratic and Republican Parties have become so corrupt and beholding to special interest dollars that we no longer have a government of the People and for the People. We have a government by and for those chosen few who have the dollars to bribe the most politicans. IMO in a perfect world every politician up for re-election would be defeated and the Democratic and Republican parties would be tried and convicted for racketeering. But since we can't have a perfect world a stalemate with neither party having control of both Congress and the White House is the best we can hope for, otherwise the People are going to be raped.
A second term for any President in todays corrupted system is just an opportunity to collect bigger bribes without having to worry about accounting to the People.
