Okay. Right now I'm listening to an interview on my local NPR affiliate with the Washington State Congressional Representative from the Seventh District (in which I live), Jim McDermott, and the two candidates, Republican and Independent, who are running against him.

There are undoubtedly some Democrats who have sold out to the system.

But not all! Anyone who thinks that there is no real difference between Republicans and Democrats doesn't know what they're talking about!
