"resolution to end the war in Afghanistan went down 65-356 in the House of Representatives. How many of these 65 are Republicans? Just 5." I heard Arlen Specter say recently that the reason Democrats should trust him ruuning as a democrat this time is because he has always supported them in "their fight to protect a woman's right to choose" When he ran as a Republican, President G. W. Bush said Republicans should trust him because he was chairman of the Senate Judiciary and Republicans could count on his leadership there to appoint conservative justices. That pretty much sums up the current duopoly. One candidate running on both tickets with endorsements from the leadership of both parties without ever needing to change his political stance on any issue. If it doesn't work out in the Democratic primary in May maybe he can take a lesson from Joe Lieberman's play book and run as independent in November.

#3 The Democrats are worse than the Republicans? A red herring.

Well said. The vote for Kucinich's resolution to end the war in Afghanistan went down 65-356 in the House of Representatives. How many of these 65 are Republicans? Just 5.

"In the recent past, I have been wrong many times about the political scene, repeatedly failing to grasp how degraded, stupid, and cowardly the average American has become, but even a cornered rat will show some fight if he has no alternative."

Dr Fleming,
From one dirty rat to another --- I don't know about you but I am beginning to feel cornered.

Not a Republican myself and having scant affection for the GOP, I think it is still possible to distinguish between a party that just wants wealth and power for its friends and is dumb enough to go along, albeit at a slower pace, with the revolution, and the current leaders of the revolution to destroy everything we have left that is worth having, our money, our children, our control over our families, our sense of history and identity. While I have no doubt that a McCain presidency would have been evil and disgusting, it is hard to believe that the average GOP crooks in Congress would have aggressively supported the Obama revolution. Neither party offers us any reason for optimism, but the Democratic Party, almost to a man, gives us many reasons to despair.

In the recent past, I have been wrong many times about the political scene, repeatedly failing to grasp how degraded, stupid, and cowardly the average American has become, but even a cornered rat will show some fight if he has no alternative. That is the only temporary blessing of the Democrats: They allow ordinary people no alternative but to fear, hate, and fight them. It won't last of course, and 5-6 years from now, they will be giving carte blanche to another war against the enemies of Israel, but as a cockeyed optimist, I am delighted with this temporary upsurge of imbecilic reaction against the party of Kennedy, Johnson, the Clintons, and Obama's gang of thugs.

I know its disconcerting, but the only thing standing between Socialized medicine and unprecedented government contol of our lives are the Republicans. Unfortunately Americans have had an amazing capability to accept whatever their local, state and federal governments do to them for the past 150 years.

I foresee the healthcare takeover as totalitarian control. Can anything not be taken and misconstrued as healthcare related? Does it cause stress? Does it cause obesity? Can it in anyway cause injury? Etc., etc…..

States are now lining up to use the 10th amendment as reason for their noncompliance of a federal healthcare takeover. This will create an interesting struggle not fully seen since Honest Abe. I can see the ruthless, cut-throat Obama cutting all federal aid (and anything else he can find) to such states, forcing them into submission. It will be an interesting diversion as the country staggers toward bankruptcy.

When bank-robber Willie Sutton was asked why he robbed banks, he said because “that’s where the money is.” Sutton's answer seems much more honest to me than anything Mr. Murchison will say concerning the Democrats stealing from the rich, or the Republicans robbing the poor. Why on earth a grown man of Mr. Murchison's stature would ever take sides in the present political climate is beyond me. As a youngster I always looked up to him as a tall Texan, but now I believe he is slipping into that senility and second childhood where one prefers the tall tales.

Once they pass it, it'll be like herpes, you will never get rid of it. That's why they want it so badly. They will change it, over time, to suit themselves, and never ratchet it back.

That's the thing about borrowing money from China. A half-an-hour later, you're broke again.
