Yes, indeed, M. Ted.   I think those who kept repeating that like a mantra back in 2000 would never admit it now. But they do insist on saying that it makes no difference whether the Democrats or the Republicans are in office. Those who won't learn from history will continue to babble incoherently.

And true, most of the campaign financing for both Democratic and Republican candidates comes from the big corporations, and that's where election reform comes in. But you will note that while the corporations try to cover their bets by contributing to both sides, they much prefer the Republicans. So they think it makes a difference.

No, Frank, I definitely do understand what Cindy Sheehan is up to. And I agree with your three points. I've been thinking for some time now that I would like to see Teddy Roosevelt reincarnated and in office.
