I think the thing that bothers me most is not that Bush can lie so glibly. After all he is a politician and it goes with the territory. I want to know where is the outrage? He has a past just as checkered as Clinton's Whitewater/Philandering eras but you don't see anyone pointing special prosecutors at Bush.

My theory is that the Democrats are too disorganized and not viscious enough. The Republicans, with their penchant for standing in line and saluting, find it easier to follow orders when told to attack a President. The Democrats have to argue about it and reconsider the idea three or four times.

The really great thing about a two party system is there really is a difference between the parites (though there are plenty of people who say otherwise). By making the electorate conform to those two parties there is a better chance of a majority opinion making it into the debate.
