Yeah I agree, neither party is really a winner. You know, i used to trust the government implicitly. I couldn't conceive of it ever doing wrong to the American people. Now i find myself questioning everything it does. I also find myself siding with the republican's right now mainly because of the old "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" thing. On that note, I really wish the GOP would get it's crap together because it's the only counter to the Democrats, who are running amok, to put it plainly.
I think the GOP is on a downward spiral, and while I am no big fan, I don't want that. Kind of fumy really, at one point i was OK with just one party being in charge of most of the government because then at least things would get done. No more gridlock. What has gone on in the last year or three has shown me the just how naive that way thinking is. Now, i shudder at the thought of a government dominated by the Democrats with no other alternative. If the GOP keeps their downward spiral and becomes all but ineffective, and nothing comes up to fill that power vacuum, a dictatorial system is exactly what we're gonna have, and the resulting government will be disturbing to put it politely.
