Thread Name: BS: Democrats move to Right
Subject: RE: BS: Democrats move to Right
I do not doubt for one minute that there are Democrats as well as Republicans prostituting themselves to well healed lobbiests. To say there is no difference in Democrats and Republicans sounds like another Karl Rove ploy to confuse and divide voters. The best thing that can happen for the Bush faction in the coming elections as it has in past elections is to have an independent candidate in the race.
I would really like to see a legitimate party representing the average citizenry rather than special interest groups. If average citizens prosper, everyone prospers, even the monied interests that now crave absolute control of everything. In the coming election the Democrats are the only line of defense against the Bush Faction. The greedy Republicans are filling their wallets and the idealistic Republicans cannot or will not take their party back.
I can understand that there are those who are not satisfied with the platforms of either of the two major parties. I do not think that my best interests are represented by either party the way I would like for them to be. That would probably not happen with a third independent party either. If I voted for my ideals I would most likely be satisfied with a Green Party candidate. If I vote for my children's future, I will vote Democrat.
