That is so true that americans vote for their 'team' in politics and don't even care about the issues. This war between repubs and dems has gone on so long and is so deep and bitter that this is exactly the case. Witness how the news media couldn't bring itself to bring us a whole bunch of news during the 1990's because it was news that would benefit republicans. As your article showed, witness how labor unions stick with the democrat party even though the democrats support WTO and such. The unions are like a lot people, they'll do anything to oppose the republicans. Witness how black americans vote 90% democrat. Witness how the large bulk of mexican americans vote democrat even though the democrats in many states are seeing to it that kids are indoctrinated with pro-homosexual junk in schools. Do mexican americans really want that for their kids, the answer is no. They are just voting for their team. Look at George Bush, he's so strong-willed to get his 'team' to win that he is growing the government by 13.9% even though this is what republicans have always stood against.

People are sick of both parties. We need to beat up both parties. Throw The Bums Out!!! Vote against all incumbents who displease you. If the new guy you vote in displeases you, then you can vote against him next time.

Thanks for your post. The sense of frustration we feel is the obstacle to overcome. How we tackle the obstacle seems to be the frustrating part. Maybe supporting the lesser of two evils can be the short term goal. Voting and becoming involved on the local level might be the long term solution. The problem I have with that is I don't want to get involved by running on the local level. It's fear of the unknown on my part and fear of a lack of support. If you or I were to run as a candidate would we chose Republican, Independent, some new party? It just seems as though there is no chance for the thinking candidate unless you're filthy rich or backed by an established political party. I may have opened up a new can of worms and raised more questions than answers. Yes frustrating is a good choice of words. Thanks again for your comments.
