because you were there to see it firsthand and make accurate comparisons.
um...
Yeah.
We're not all 12 here y'know.
Back in the late 1970's me and my friends were politically active enough to write our own satirical MAD magazine style political 'zine. Of course it reflected the right wing POV though.
Like Halo and I said, these things are circular. One party becomes so entrenched and guided by pure ideology and oblivious to their constituency and the real needs of the people and as a result things turn to shit and that opens the door for another party to come along with a mandate for change. It's happened before and it will happen again. Democrats, Republicans. Doesn't matter.
Remember the greatest era in Democratic history came as a result of a Republican sending the economy into the toilet and almost destroying this nation.
The greatest Republican era came about because of a Democratic president who seemed overwhelmed by the myraid crises before him, a loss of national purpouse and beleif, and because of excessive taxation in California.
Both instances demanded real revolutionary change. We're at another crossroads again. Mind you that I'm not entirely happy with the people that are leading this change. But a change is needed. Badly. If anything, I'm looking forward to '08 so that we can finish the job of '06, in BOTH parties.
