That's what is most important.
Why are so many people willing to fall under the label "Democrat" or "Republican" and accept the values of that party as their own? This, in and of itself - this buying into a ideology that by it's very nature divides - plants the seeds of anger, hate and oppressiveness that are, as we speak, growing and growing and growing all accross the country.
No one ever concedes. The other side is always wrong, even when they're not. Nothing can be proven to be true or false. Not in the context that everyone from both sides will agree that it is true or false.
It's a fucking commercial. And what really, I mean really scares me, is that I don't see a realistic chance that an independent nominee, one that is not owned by a conglomerate, will ever see the light of day as a serious contender for the presidency.
I see the Democrats and the Republicans the same way many of you see organized religion: full of itself and trying to convert the masses, in this country and abroad. And people just lapping it up.

amen docbungle!!!!!
the republicans controlling the white house (let's face it, it is not the cheerleader) can not admit any wrong. the republicans who cast votes for the cheerleader can't admit they are wrong either. so they lock-step....ok....goose-step to the beat of hannity, that fathead with the drug addiction and whatever other bile spewed out in what used to be called media.
the democrats don't have anything to admit to, so they just say the republicans controlling the white house are wrong.
anyone who thinks that the man who is in the office right now controls or does anything connected with running our country is seriously missing the facts. the court-appointed president is an idiot, a beard.
what is refreshing in politics is arnold in california. while a republican, he truly is breaking from the ranks environmentally.
we do need a new system. nader just aint gonna cut it. there is no way everyone sacks up and elects a third-party candidate. the democrats probably could do it, but most registered republicans are too afraid to break away.
