""I'll look up some more really nasty things he's said about Romney, Bush, and the Republicans later. They're easy enough to find. You just have to read his posts with more than simply a desire to find something in them to attack.""

The trouble with your input LH is that it fails to take into account the fact that US voters have only two choices. Following your philosophy is likely to lead to a defeatist attitude that there's no point in voting at all.

Then you get the worst of all possible worlds.

There are obvious differences, which need to be emphasised, between the two parties.

The Republican Party has abdicated any right to govern in its current form, by acting as a roadblock to any initiatives of the Obama administration, to the detriment of the nation.

Unless you can show evidence of the Democrat Party ever having done that for the whole term of a Republican Presidency, your claim that there is no difference is wrong.

Songwronger's input is worse, since he simply lashes out mindlessly in all directions. A true basket case.
