Akenaton, you are so right. That is the sad truth of the matter. I watch the 4 year farce of American Presidential elections with the same detached feeling I used to have watching the farce of Soviet elections. There they had one party and acted like it was still a real election...in the USA they do basically the same thing, but they cleverly call the one party by 2 names. I call it by one name: The Redemocrapublicants. If you analyze that word syllable by syllable it says a lot.

It also says a lot that a guy almost can't GET elected President in the USA unless he beats his chest over his past military service...or his future military intentions. People have to have confidence that he knows exactly how to blow things up real good and "kick foreign ass". Sounds like Germany or Italy back in the 30's to me.
