Reply #32: Trouble is that is a relative definition of what is "good for the country" [View All]

[MadHound]

You are taking the short term view, ie getting Bush out of the WH is good for the country. Many third party, Naderites, Greens think that getting the massive corporate corruption of both parties out of our government is what is good for the country, and that is a long term view. So it really boils down to a short term vs long term views of our country's good. And I hate to tell you this, but taking the continous short term view has been proven to be a foolish thing time and again, in politics, business or one's own direction in life. Long term thinking is crucial, and sadly, both due to the inherent nature of a two party system, and the corporate corruption of the two parties, it is also in quite short supply.
