BOTH Parties need to stop trying to kill each other, and start working together, (As if we'll ever see that. But I can dream, can't I?), sooooo.......
Hey Blue.

If either party leveled with us they'd probably be thrown out of office. Call me cynical.

I also suspect they actually do work together behind the scenes, and not for our good. I've now crossed the line past cynical and will barricade myself in the conspiracy room

Just to show that I am an equial opportunity PITA, I will point out that you seem to contradict yourself. In one paragraph you fault the dems for failing to fight fire with fire, and in the next fault the parties for not working together. Are you suggesting that the parties will not be able to work together unless each is capable of burying the other with propoganda? They will work together only if they reach detente as a result of understanding that mudslinging will result in mutually assured destruction.

Perhaps. Or maybe they need to ramp it up until it has become so rediculous that even the extremists begin to see how absurd it has become. I would argue that it reached that point a long, long time ago. But some just keep right on rolling, coming up with evermore warped hysteria. "Bush was behind 9/11, Obama is the Anti-Christ."----ad nauseum.

Not "cynical", "realistic", Pete.

And there are times I have suspected the same thing.
Not all conspiracy theories are crazy, my friend.

Ronnie was the right man for the time.

I hope Obama is the same for now.

About the only intelligent thing I ever heard Lou Dobbs say was "They are wings of the same bird".
