Default Re: Opinion of Bush

Listening to CNN of FOX (one of those) on XM last week, some politician said how the 2-party system works, and Americans don't want to get rid of it. He was a Democrat, and was trying to make the case that the Republicans are trying to "do away" with the Democrats. I nearly yelled at the radio, "The 2-party system WORKS??!" Not for years has it "worked." Talk about always feeling like you're voting for the lesser of two evils? Thank the 2-party system for that.

We need term limits. If it's okay for the President, why not for Congress? What we have on Capital Hill are a bunch of lawyers that spend the majority of their time raising funds to get themselves re-elected. It's really a sad state of affairs. If that possibility, of being a career politician, is taken away, then and only then will these guys vote the way they really feel, and perhaps their votes will reflect the wishes of their constituents.

I would really like to see a 3rd and 4th party that could mount a real challenge to the DemoRepubliCrats. They're all the same: focused on re-election above all else.
