You mean like Janet "bring-in-the-bulldozers" Reno?

Originally posted by MuadDibSeretogis, the hypocracy here is bordering on insane. You critique me for complaining about Bush while supporting "corrupt career-politicians" but all you do is complain about the complaints made by others. First of all, why do you assume I voted for Gore or that I am an active supporter of the democrats standard issue politicians? I feel very secure in complaining more about the republicans as currently they are the ones that actively endangering many of America's rights and liberties as well as many American lives for causes I do not feel justify such a risk. That isn't to say its an issue of republican vs democrat, perhaps its an issue of who current has power vs who currently doesn't. All I do know is that I do actively support politicians and candidates that offer alternatives to the current woes created by the current adminstration and I'll tell you that most of the solutions are not coming from republicans at this time because they are to afraid to go toe to tow against G W.

If you read any of my other posts, you'll see that I endorse the
Libertarian Party and
Libertarian-minded groups. The only way to get power-hungry career politicians out of office is to vote them out -- and that will not happen when the majority of people on this board just bicker about "opposing" politicians doing the same thing that "their" politicians do. Republicans and Democrats both have the goal of simply staying elected. What real changes have either party made in the last 20 years to improve our lives? All that I've seen is regulation to strip Americans of their rights and put more money in their own pockets.
I didn't make a blind assumption of your political stance, I've read many of your posts, and I think that this line from you pretty much gives me the fuel that I needed for my initial post:

Voting third parties isn't throwing away your vote, but it is going to hurt efforts to get Bush out of office.

Getting Bush out of office and replacing him with a near-clone from another nearly-identical political party shouldn't be a goal of anyone that's interested in cleaning up our political system.
