Thread Name: BS: Obit: The Republican Party
Subject: RE: BS: Obit: The Republican Party
I cannot see the Republicans winning the next election (Presidential). BUT, I think when the Democrat wins he/she'll have lots of proving to do. Truthfully, what real difference is there between the parties? Truthfully?
Neither has presented an economic platform that is beneficial to poor people. Neither has a well-considered education plan. Neither is talking about getting troops the hell outta Iraq. Neither is presenting a tax platform that will help people who need the help as opposed to helping companies and others who DON'T need the help. (OK, maybe Halliburton will need a bit of cash to tide them over, but that aside . . . .) What differences are there? Both parties were implicit in the Patriot Act (what a friggin' name) and neither shone during the NO disaster. So, what price glory?
How far are Americans willing to go in terms of selling off the country the signers of the Dec of Ind envisioned? The writers of the Constitution envisioned? How far? And again, what price glory?
