Many who voted Republican are not true Republicans but somehow got hoodwinked into the Republican camp. Hopefully they will re-think their positions and take action.

I see how it works now:

If you voted Democrat, you voted your concience and for what you truly believed in.

If you voted Republican, you must have been tricked, flim flamed or bamboozled into it?


You need to get in touch with reality talk72000.

What bothers me about the last 3 or 4 Presidential Elections is that I felt there was not a good choice between the candidates. Neither the Dem or Repug candidatesc represented "my concience". therefore, you vote for the one who more closely represented my core values.

That happend to be the Republican Candidate. Yet, that candidate either lost or turned into what we have in the WH today.

I see that each party has moved from their "center" to more extreme positions. So when I read articles such as this, it tells me that, Democrats, will be forced to changes the things they say in order to win an election. The article does not say the Democrats will changes what the BELIEVE, only what they SAY.

For this reason, I can never trust a Democrat to be honest.

As a matter of fairness, I will never trust a Republican to be honest either.

In 2006, I hope that every incumbant is voted out of office and the process is repeated in the house in 2008. The voters must take the security blanket away from politicians and force them to do the PEOPLES work, not the special interests work.


I doubt that will happen if the hard core partisenship demonstrated on A2K is any indication of the voting public.

Naw, anymore you vote for the one who's name you can say out loud without throwing up your entire dinner. There is no candidate who represent anyone but themselves. Perhaps the presidency should be a lottery - only folks who don't want the job can have it.

Let me just take this rare moment to completely agree with woiyo, on this anyway.

From what I gather is that the two party system is broke.

I don't think it's the system that's broke. It's just that the two parties have become clones of each other.
