This "one-side-is-just-as-bad-as-the-other" garbage has got to stop. If you ever get the luxury of a political race in which Albert Schweitzser and Mother Teresa are running against each other, THEN you can be sure that you are choosing an honest representative, regardless of whom you vote for. Until then, EVERY vote you ever cast -- unless you run for office and vote for yourself -- will be someone you have doubts about.

Live with it. Accept the fact that humans are imperfect. Recognize that things aren't neat and tidy in the real world. Take a deep breath and exhale slowly.

Now I'm gonna say this in words of one syllable or less so you cannot misunderstand. "Politics is the art of the possible." You never get perfection. So, if that's what you want, go live in a cave and stop wasting bandwidth.

If you want to have a say in the final process, that is what happens after they (whoever they turn out to be) get elected, you must participate. And that means, are you ready for this, choosing the better of two leading candidates when you have some doubts about both of them.

Either do that, or quit bitching about the results. Because if you don't do that, you are irrelevant to the final outcome. Choose to be irrelevant if you wish; that is your right. But then don't compain about your irrelevance because you asked for it.

Is that clear enough for you?

I'm doing the best I can to make things better. Click any link below for proof. Are you?

I can look back over the history of America and I see changes that would make the founding fathers cry. By accepting the lesser of two evils, we have allowed the lesser evils to bastardize our way of life, our culture and our heritage. You as well as I know that the constitution no longer exists as the rule of law in this country. Why? Because the lesser evils have taken it upon themselves to "interpret" the constitution so that they can do whatever the lesser evils do.

You go about patting yourself on the back and tell yourself that you have really tried. BS, you have aided and abetted these petty politicians while they raped and pillaged our country. You are doing it now when you rush to protect the republican party and GWB. Have you ever stood up and said, this candidate is not good enough. No you haven't. You talk of being irelevent, you are and have been nothing more than a Judas goat, leading the sheeple to slaughter.

You set your sights too low and you posture about while trying to rationalize your loss of principles. You cast stones at people who won't bend before the republican banner and cajole people for putting principles before party. Do you really believe that there is an ounce of difference between the republican party and the democrat party? Look where we are today and tell me how much better we are than we were 10 years ago and where the republicans have made a difference in that last 8 years. The republicans didn't even have the courage to remove a criminal from the office of the presidency. Just politics I guess.

The election of 2000 brought a supposedly honest administration to the executive branch. The first thing that GWB did was to ignore the vandalization of the White House. The next thing GWB did was to stop all investigation of the Clinton administration, probably the most corrupt administration in the history of this country. Why? Because it was politically expedient. That means he didn't want to do anything to hurt his chances for re-election. So much for honor and integrity. The Bush administration is presently engaged in a war on terriorism, but Bush himself will not allow the borders of this country to be closed. Why? You know why, he wants to gain as many legal and illegal mexican votes as he can in 2002, and 2004. Let's destroy the culture of this country so we can get re-elected. Great political philosophy.

Now let me tell you something sonny. As long as you and people like you continue to accept the lesser of two evils to run this country, this country will continue on its morally bankrupt path. One day, one of your lesser of two evils will decide to make him/herself dictator of America. And we will have you to thank for it.

Is that clear enough for you.
