"If you are part of a society that votes, then do so. There may be no candidates and no measures you want to vote for ... but there are certain to be ones you want to vote against. In case of doubt, vote against. By this rule you will rarely go wrong." (Robert Heinlein)
As for myself, I've voted to throw the bums out.
If you maintain that there is no difference between the parties, you haven't been paying attention. The modern Republican party is the party of lies, corruption, war, imperialism, the suspension of basic rights, the enrichment of the few on the backs of everybody else, and environmental destruction.
Where I come from, this is a pretty good working definition of "evil".
I disagree with your stance, I have been paying attention!
First, as for Heinlein, I'd rather read Bradbury any day!
"If you maintain that there is no difference between the parties...", the corruption of which you speak is more widespread than just "the modern Republican party", it's cancer is shot through the whole system, meaning both Repub's and Demo's, are you forgeting Pres. Bill "what there's news coming out about me getting a blowjob from some ugly fat slut intern, let's bomb something in Iraq" Clinton, or Pres. Bill " It depends on what the definition of is, is" Clinton.
Or, lets fast forward a little to the Bush vs. Kerry race, if you truly paid attention to what Kerry (and several Demo senators and such) was saying, it was obvious that the Demo's were just as much for war as the Repub's, just instead of pounding the snot out of Iraq, we would have gone against Syria and or possibly Saudi Arabia, leaving Saddam for later and keeping him "in power" and "under our thumb".
But, I digress, Back to the point, if you truly believe that the modern Democratic party will reverse the "lies, corruption, war, imperialism, the suspension of basic rights, the enrichment of the few on the backs of everybody else, and environmental destruction", then I believe you've swallowed the Demo's hook, line and sinker... meaning you are beguiled by the system that has TWO faces (meaning they look different, but it's really the same ol' song and dance)
But hey, I'm just a nutcase conspiracy theorist, so Vote On and let the Liberals save the world! Yayyy, trumpets brass and bass drums blaring a patriotic tune as confetti and ticker tape fly through the air. Da.Da.Da,da,da.Da,da,da.(sound effects for music!)
Oh, just out of curiosity, you said you voted to "throw the bums out", um, what bums were there representing WA to be thrown out, I thought Wa was still Demo controlled?
