Power Corrupts and Absolute Power Corrupts absolutely? (For those of you here from the Beltway, that is not my thought; it is Orwell's.)
Forty years of the Democratic Leaders being complicit with the people on the other side of the aisle.
For instance, we would have had Geithner giving the Middle Class economy away to Wall Street, regardless of who got in - Obama or McCain.
Both Parties only care about Monsanto and Big Ag firms. So no one can eat anything without Prilosec, these days. Meanwhile the for profit segment "Health Care" of our society has never done better.
San Francisco Chronicle had an entire article about how difficult it is for the small business owners and indie contractors to be able to deal with Obama's ACA, as it is a mandate on small businesses, who better pay up, and shut up!! or else pay more in taxes. (As if not paying enough already.) And other local TV stations are pointing out how many people pay for health insurance, but with exception of high cholesterol meds and vaccines being free, the treatments that are needed are too often DENIED! SO who does this all help?
So in the end, except for abortion, solar power and a few other more minor things, we have watched BOTH PARTIES ruin our democracy.
