Easy there, grandmother. Don't want to give yourself a heart attack:blink: just kidding but seriously though. 1. I would not argue that there's no different between Democrat and Republican. They both have very nice and very different ideas, they just both are obsessed with their fantasy lands where economics and politics follow ideals and not reality, and they have their head stuck in the sand with regards to reality. 2. The problem with supporting a 3rd political party is that the electoral system guarantees they won't be elected President. The Tea Party is already proving that 3rd parties can have an effect in Congress, but I think without they're being elected in high numbers to the Supreme Court, which I don't see happening, or getting the Presidency, they just don't have the power or the influence to make good police occur. 3. Just because someone endorses the policies of a Democrat or Republican doesn't mean they are automatically shoving the debt onto future generations. Look at the end of the Clinton administration when there was a surplus: good things can happen out of the two party system. It simply takes good leadership and consistent economic policy. Have faith
You wouldnt argue that there is no difference because you have a connection to one and an ideology that I dont have. I see them both as they are. Both parties are fiscal trainwrecks. I have credited Clinton with being a very good president...primarily because he was skilled at working with both parties. Clinton signed legislation given to him by congress. Congress gets the credit, Clinton gets the glory. No problem there. Wouldst that we return to such a time.
My heart is just fine. I only wish more people would find theirs. Finding their balls (figuratively or otherwise) would also be a nice first start.
