The ability of both parties to take stabs at the other is indictive of the ishtty society and political corruptiveness we've created for ourselves in the US. The fact that we as Americans allow BOTH parties to act and do these things to each other, instead of talking ISSUES astounds me. If these guys went back in time 100 years ago and were talking this crap about each other, it'd be like someone slapping you in the face back then, you'd have to have a gunfight, someone has got to go!!
Calling the democratic convention a 'True Lies' convention. Classy isht.
Other then that, he gave a terrific, impowering speech, mostly bypartisian I felt. I say we get rid of politicians alltogether and let hollywood run the show.. Oh wait we already did. (doh)
BTW I'm not for either party, and if the democrats did anything at their convention like he did (slam the Republican convention, or what not, I dunno I didn't watch theirs) then I would hold them in the same contempt. Heck I already do, both partys are as corrupt as a harddrive slammed with a hammer, dropped in milk then munched on by a goat.
Our political system is in need of a overhaul before we suffer the same fate history has given to every previous single world power there has been over the times, that's fallen slave to it's own fallacies and weaknesses from inside. Our 'enemies' the world over are not our biggest enemy, we are.

Very nicely put and so very true.

It's how the party system works; you grab as many people as you can with whatever you can. This can be anything, you just want people to follow and not question.
The good news is that there is some cross-party voting. Notice that some states may go Republican for president and Democrat for Senator or Governor or vice-versa.
Really? My favorite part was his opening statement! That was awesome! And i'm sure the democrats did the same, why else would he have said that? Anyways, it is totally true that parties are somewhat corrupt, and the sad thing is that it will pobably never be fixed in any of our lifetimes. I just tend to prefer the less corrupt side ![[cheers]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_cheers.gif "Cheers [cheers]")
&***^&*^ (HOLDS LIPS TOGETHER) *muffle, muffle, muffle* The US does not stand alone in its corrupt politics. You guys are always GERNIN' on the US for "its" politcal process. Every Country on the face of this marble is corrupt. The US is just more obvious because for some un known reason....we like to be "front page" Who else impeaches a President in front of the ENTIRE world. Embarrasing yes....stand alone...NO. It is the same here in Germany...just got to try to disipher who is LESS corrupt and jump on that band wagon until it fails too. At least we can have free elections with out the fear of being blown up at the polls.
You are correct.
I don’t think it is as much of the political process as the ease in which people are led so loyally to one side or the other. I think this is more of what I am thinking here--the reaction from the people more than the actual system itself.
It is fascinating to actually look at studies of how and why people follow as they do. Even more interesting is to give a list of questions to people and actually see how little they truly know about the actual factual history of ANY issues. IMO it is just so absurd to say one party is good and one is not, or one is always so perfect they are worthy of continual, unwavering support.
I teach an intro to political science class 4 hours each week. We do some very interesting experiments with issues and viewpoints and students are amazed at how similar their ideas in life are given the dramatically polarizing political climate of our nation. This is also my way of showing how important it is to look past the skewed truth of 30 second TV spots and really dig before making a decision.

Which one, '92 against George Bush or '04 for George Bush? Zell is a real Georgia fire pot, no doubt, but speaking of flip-flopping, good grief!!
I love my GA reps. As Zell spoke (reminiscent of Newt) I could smell the bacon coming home to the Peach State. We have an outer loop to build with fed $$. Ching-ching.
