“It is also not my business to pass judgment on these

people (politicians)…”

That’s ridiculous. Every time we vote we make a

judgement.

They are typical politicans – anything they do results in more power or money for them. So if there’s any question why a politican does a certain thing, the answer’s always power or money – or both.

A two party system leads more to kneejerk and tactical games than it does sense.

“The Democrats” can rarely be referred to as a single bloc, and most of the worst ones are in positions of responsibility and leadership. This is why it’s so important for CT voters to get rid of Joe Lieberman with the utmost efficiency.

It is predictable. The democrats did not criticise guantanamo prison camp either to any great extent. They obviously thought it wasn’t a seriously bad thing for the entire US to deny the inmates of that prison their basic humanity, as recognized by treaties it signed in good faith, because these grand ideas shouldn’t be afforded to accused terrorists: a baldly false assertion.

Nobody elected in the US cares about rights and ideas, wars, conflict and the huge problems facing humanity and airy fairy stuff like that. (Veterans, now almost all dead, fought two world wars to impress upon us the importance of these ideas, which were about the only thing good that came out of those wars, and they’ve forgotten.)

Campaign finance, gerrymandering, the rights of the fetus, how to further disconnect the cost of government from the rate of taxation, and how times they are seen to pray in public are obviously their main concerns.
Stupid Stupid Stupid.
