I agree. 360 different perspectives in a circle.

I would not mind a real discussion about fracking.

You know, jobs that would be lost, water that is being lost and contaminated, damage to the air counterbalanced with the cleaner discharges into the air following refinement,..

I would not mind a real discussion of issues surrounding teen pregnancy or issues surrounding gang violence...

Hundreds of real issues face this country and most repubs just read their memos sent by Heritage and spit out meaningless talking points.

Oh the dems also spit out meaningless talking points would be the response.

But the dems are stuck arguing real issues amongst themselves.

I wouldn't say what

I wouldn't say what republicans are saying is honest.

I would say republicans present the truth in stark black and white terms.

For me, I see the truth as black and white too, but with 256 shades of grey in between because there is nothing that can't be made true ... just needs some help along the way.

And that's the issue with republicans ... admitting something they believe is false can be made true if circumstances allow it.

Well here is my third

Well here is my third shot.

You left a link that was not a link but I cut and pasted it on the URL anyway...it did not work.

Thanks NCD for chiming in.

I have had these thoughts about third parties and the terrible situation that now greets all of us with a two party system.

The House through gerrymandering has just crippled any chance for change whether we are speaking about the environment or taxes or health care or whatever.

The Senate can be controlled by minorities which makes no sense.

You already know that I am a Democrat and that all I see or have seen for fifty years is a choice between two candidates--there are exceptions as when my state ended up with a weird wrestler as our governor.

If the repubs would just split into two parties; who what a relief that would be.

And frankly, a Dem party splitting into two or three factions would not be that bad.

It is just that the dems usually argue with each other over complicated issues and then see the repubs just walk in step; always.

India used to have hundreds of parties and that kind of ended up in chaos.

When folks attempt to categorize the dems with the repubs as far as insanity it just makes me more irate.

I frankly think that seven or eight different parties might alleviate a lot of problems.

Oh well...

This nation will not have a

This nation will not have a government able to address the huge challenges we face this century until the Greedy Old Party ceases to exist as anything but a fringe group of wack jobs. A transformation which is nearly completed.
