I'll concede the original point but can you point out a single democrat who isn't scum? There isn't a single living adult in this country who couldn't easily be portrayed as worthless scum in the mainstream media.
While I'm sick of this whole two party bs and I don't really like republicans or democrats, at least (most) democrats are against war, are pro choice, pro gay marriage, etc., which to me is a helluva lot better than the Republicans.
No, no, no. Let's not be mean. It's not that Republicans are scum; it's that are wrong about a lot of stuff. Vote Republican--It's easier than thinking.
I could say the same thing about dems. They are the party of 'don't think, let the gov't think for you'.
Korean War: Harry S. Truman,,, Democrat Vietnam War: John F. Kennedy initially, Lyndon B. Johnson later on, Both Democrats "Fighting the spread of communism" is just a fancier way of stating you are fighting to protect Capitalistic Interests. Mind you, I'm not defending Republicans, just making sure you know that the other side of the coin is just as dirty.
So you do want the dem party to do your thinking for you? Try some independence, man. Thinking on your own can be a good thing if you give it a shot.
