| [USA] Dems vs. GOP over the years. | ||||||
|
Man's unfailing capacity to believe what he prefers to be true rather than what the evidence shows to be likely and possible has always astounded me. We long for a caring Universe which will save us from our childish mistakes, and in the face of mountains of evidence to the contrary we will pin all our hopes on the slimmest of doubts. God has not been proven not to exist, therefore he must exist. --Academician Prokhor Zakharov

RE: [USA] Dems vs. GOP over the years.
I find myself an independent when it comes to "political agendas," but when it comes to management of the country, it's hard to argue against the fact that the government tends to actually enact good policymaking decisions, even if not very quickly, when the democrats are more in charge. Republicans love their no-brain, no-thought, rapid-fire policymaking decisions and they always fuck us over.

That's because the modern Republican party has nothing in common with it's previous incarnation of the 50s. Hell, even Reagan would be too "pinko liberal" for the modern GOP. You can't have balanced and metered change between parties if one is the party of sanity while the other is not. |

RE: [USA] Dems vs. GOP over the years.
Just look at the Republican candidates of today. As Moros said, take Reagan as an example; I bet the GOP would be asking for his birth certificate, by today's expected standards.

Not only are they crazy, they are extremely deceptive(all politiciians are, the GOP just more so). The new GOP mantra is, "Campaign on jobs and the econom. Once elected, invade people's bedrooms and force god down their throats."

You're treading on my civil liberties, man! |

I don't think their decisions are all no-brains. Some of their decisions are intelligently and ruthlessly well thought out specifically to fuck us over.
