@IRFRANK,
I used to believe that the republicans and democrats were about equal in their governing style, but that idea has been destroyed by this year's campaign.
The GOP front-runners not only lie, but lie about their lies. When they mis-speak, they claim that's not what they meant. They are working hard at voter suppression in several states, and some have even passed laws to take away women's rights. I believe Virginia now has a law that any woman who wants an abortion must have an ultrasound first, and they must pay for it. If they don't, they can be charged with murder.
Fidel Castro looks pretty good from here, but Obama looks like a saint in comparison.
