it's becoming harder to tell the difference
Edited on Thu May-24-07 03:17 PM by Bright Eyes
between Democrat and Republican. am i the only one who thinks so?

looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again;
but already it was impossible to say which was which."

4. No, Nader and friends support the idea.
I needn't get into how little I think of them.

5. Please we must not despair, despite the immense frustration of
the Iraq funding bill. The democrats in Congress are doing a good job; they are diligently investigating the war criminals and should have some heads soon. Be patient. I believe in them. They for the most part are like us; they want an end to the war and to fraudulent government and to lies and global warming and and spying and election fraud and all the etcs. Can we just trust them for awhile as we keep the pressure on? I refuse to believe that these fine people care about re-election more than our troops. I know that my representative is a winner of the first degree (John Yarmuth) and being represented in the Senate by (the way over the hill)Jim Bunning and the (based my whole political life on no campaign reform) Mitch McConnell, I know a loser when I see one.

7. Personally I find it still very easy.
The ones suspending civil liberties, nominating theo-loonies to the SC, raping the treasury, giving tax breaks to billionaires, demonizing gays, not enforcing EPA regs and so on are the Republicans. The ones who faced with an implacable veto, a divided party in supoprt and unified opposition against, and insufficient numbers to override either, chose to at least make a point before caving a bit too soon and easily are the Democrats.

I have not the slightest difficulty in either telling the difference or choosing which I prefer.

8. Not for me
The Democrats are the ones conducting investigations against this administration. The Democrats are the only ones trying to do ANYTHING to end this war. The Democrats support choice, and gay rights, and fiscal responsibility.
