I tend to vote Democratic but there are times (like now) when I've got more of a "throw the bastards out" mentality. And unlike my buddy Bry, I'm not proud of the Demo's. I think that, for the most part, on a national level, they've allowed the Republicans to control the debate and are rather spineless. They've also allowed Liberal to become a derogatory term on the order of Fascists or Marxist. And this all happened without a fight from the Demo's.
But when you get down to the brass tacks - both parties have one overarching philosophy: get reelected! Until we break the cycle of reelecting 95% of incumbents, self-promotion will be the name of the game.
