Are the Two Political Parties Really Offering Two Different Futures?Quote"A major part of the Democrats' message this week is the argument that a Romney presidency would return us to the era of President George W. Bush. But what happened during the Bush years? Record spending, record debt, a slew of civil liberties abuses, a failed and expensive war on drugs, an impossibly complex immigration system and shameful treatment of immigrants, and a new health care entitlement in the form of Medicare Part D. And what did a change in White House power bring? Record spending, record debt, a slew of civil liberties abuses, a failed and expensive war on drugs, an impossibly complex immigration system and shameful treatment of immigrants, and a new health care entitlement in the form of ObamaCare. A clear choice? If so, it's less a choice between visions than a choice between parties."

> I can't vote for a party that infringes on the liberties of women, gays, immigrants and the poor.Well, I'm afraid recently there hasn't been that much of a practical (as in: policies, not rhetoric) difference b/w two major parties, then ;-) So, LP or GP?As for the (D) voters that happen to share the sentiments you've expressed (still any who can look themselves in the mirror left?)... ah, yes, the Caring Gap:QuoteThe Democrats are selling themselves in 2012 as the party that simply cares more. They feel your pain, only this time it's not a snicker-worthy campaign ploy from a slick southern politician; it's a governing creed. Simply by virtue of being more empathetic, they will produce better policies and outcomes, particularly those that affect the identity groups within the Democratic coalition: women, Hispanics, blacks, the gay and lesbian community.Then, there's the rest of us:QuoteDemocrats might yet win by exploiting the Caring Gap. Certainly having the Republican Party to compete against helps. But for those of us voters who want government to be neither mom nor dad, and who like to keep our religious experiences separate from the exertion of public policy, a depressing reality has been reinforced thise week: The two major parties are incapable of treating you like an adult. Meanwhile, they are demanding--and sometimes receiving--a devotion that borders on the unhealthy.

There used to be a bunch of jokes in Russia about 'chukcha', which is the name for ethnic people around Arctic North. They are indispensable for understanding Democrats.People ask chukcha, 'How different do you feel after Great October Socialist Revolution?'Chukcha says, 'Oh, very different. Before revolution chukcha only felt cold and hunger...''How about now?''Oh, no, now is so different. Now chukcha feels cold, hunger, and gratitude to the Party...'

Not bad! But, hey, at least Obama's not continuing Bush's policies, right? ...right?

Hei, Polter, who needs this habeas corpus shmopsus? Obama will decide who to detain and who to kill, and he cares, so everything is cool, ok? Anyways, it's boring and tiring to look at the details. I will support anything my president does, anything. Whoof, whoof.

They are essentially Americans and it makes sense to treat them as such. Second people who came to the U.S. illegally and stayed there long enough should have a path to legality. For three reasons: 1) They're here anyway and are not going away. 2) When they're legal they pay taxes. 3) Diversity enriches society.
