The Dangers of One Party Rule
Marxist Hacker 42 writes "Now that the Politics section is up and running, I can submit this story. Back in February, The American Prospect ran a speculative article on The Danger of NeoConservative One Party Rule. A quote: 'Benjamin Franklin, leaving the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, was asked by a bystander what kind of government the Founders had bestowed. "A republic," he famously replied, "if you can keep it." There have been moments in American history when we kept our republic only by the slenderest of margins. This year is one of those times.'"
Democrats have been losing because the Gore and Kerry are wooden bores.
The solution is not to field a wooden bore. We Republicans did that with Bush Sr and Bob Dole and were trounced soundly, and deservedly so. Now it's your guys' turn.
Kerry spent his whole convention talking about bravery and Vietnam even though he didn't think Vietnam was such a brainy scheme at the time. In other words, he lied, either now or while testifying about his experiences.
At least when we talk to George W Bush, we know where he stands, and we know he'll do his level best to keep his promises.
I can't even tell what John Kerry is promising, it seems to change every other day.
Bush's a better candidate. Get over it, and for God's sake find someone half-decent in four years.
D
PS The US is sufficiently divided that I don't buy the allegations in the article that Republican dirty tricks are going to keep the House and Senate in Republican hands. We're a divided nation, tending right at this point. That's Democracy.
Ummm.. I am stunned that this would even be accepted by an article reviewer. From their own description: "The American Prospect was founded in 1990 as an authoritative magazine of liberal ideas..." I'll stick to objective journalism versus obvious partisan information thank you.

I suspect the comparison between the current administration and Hitler would not seem at all far-fetched to defendants in the criminal justice system facing sentencing under the federal sentencing guidelines.
I'm laughing at clouds.
Please say this was a mischeduled April fools post. I mean with a guy like Marxist Hacker making the submission. Or has this place joined the Kur05hin leftward spiral?
Ohh right, I must be new here.
How did you get fucked by Bush?
please, do share.
Cause I think you're full of shit.
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms should be the name of a store, not a government agency.
Are you talking about the terrorists, or the republicans? Either way, I say we take the dropship back to the Sulako and nuke them from orbit.
you're breaking my heart.
