  •  That's unfair. (none / 1)

    You believe in democracy--and so do rethugs. You believe in the Constitution--and so do rethugs.

    So you obviously believe corporate-coddled, country-invading talibaptist rule is constitutionally supported, because that's what democracy is about, and that's what the Constitution supports.  Right?

    No?  But you support the same Constitution and form of government (democracy) don't you?

    •  Hah, hah. Funny. (none / 0)

      I believe that most Republicans believe in democracy, the constitution, civil rights and free speech.  I also believe that they don't do anything to divorce themselves from the portion of their party that doesn't.

      I believe that most Democrats believe in tolerance for views they dislike, intelligent economic and foreign policy, and good family values.  I also believe that they don't do anything to divorce themselves from the portion of their party that doesn't.

      I believe that all politicians are liars and thieves who will, given half a chance, bend their constituents over backwards for a two penny campaign donation.  I also believe that people who use terminology like "rethuglicans" deserve it.

      Guess what?  Corporation-coddling, country-invading rule, as you put it, is constitutionally supported (talibaptist may violate the Constitution, though).  I think it's a despicable way to run the country, but there's nothing illegal about it, and democracy doesn't say I get to have it my way all the time.

      But when a Democrat says "Let's kill the brown people", I'm happy to be the first one to say "Kick the bastard out".  I simply ask that others do the same - don't expect people to be intelligent about distinguishing between the mainstream and the extreme of a group, especially one they're unfamiliar with.  Make it easy for them to draw the distinctions.

      I agree with Spider's assessment of voting.
