Re: Snake Oil and Unity08 (none / 0)

I am not saying unity08 is good or anything as I haven't really paid attention to it. But, I think, alot of people support that because of the excess partisanship of the gop and the politics of hate. I think people are sick of it and both parties. They are just looking for some solution and a way to do away with both parties.
people just feel neither addresses or cares about the people and the country. Just money. and power. They are unhappy and are looking for a new something. anything.
In the early 30s this was how people felt as well. The little guy felt powerless and that those in Washington did not care. After FDR came many felt something would happen. But, others still felt wary and kept looking. I think we as a country, are at that place again.

Uh-huh. And so the "little guy" is gonna turn to big-money corporate interests and away from all that tacky partisanship? Please.

What, pray tell, is the "little guy" looking for that neither of the parties is offering?

Health care? Job security? Better working conditions? Better wages? Cleaner air and water?
Because there is one party that features actual living breathing politicians who stand for those things, and one that doesn't. Not all of them and not enough of the time, right now, but we're getting there. However, the idea that we could address these issues by "do[ing] away with both parties" is just silly.

People are sick of the GOP, so they want to get rid of both parties? Isn't there a step missing there?
