Dig,
You say "Look at who your friends are".
Who are you talking to?
Both Wig and I are neither Democrat nor Republican. We're middle of the road. Don't think either party better than the other. You shouldn't confuse not bowing down to one party and considering the other evil with Republicans being "our friends". Sorry but I just cant believe that half the nation is evil and the other half good, that half the nation is honest and the other half corrupt and that the leading divider of these people is which major party they belong to.
From where I sit I see equal numbers of idiots and savants and charlatans in both those parties. I think both those parties have something to offer America and only in combination - systematically removing the extremes - do we get the best results.
Amusing that you think someone who has opinions that aren't lock-stepped into a party line is "trying to win a pissing match". The truth is that neither Wig nor I has a pissing match to win. How could I win? You believe that your good old boy network is honest and the other good old boy network is liars. You believe your party is good and the other evil. Your party is trying to do good for the people and the other is corrupt and only has selfish motivations at heart.
Come on, man. There's a current Democratic senator that is an ex-KKK member! Al Sharpton is every bit as racist and whacky and biblical as Pat Robertson. You know it's true. How many anti-Jewish remarks from the Democratic party does it take to equal the anti-black ones from the Republican.
Look around. Powell is the highest ranking minority in US government history. A minority woman is National Security Advisor. The man in charge is making minority hires [the best people for the job] at the highest levels of the administration.
I try to see the good of each party rather than the bad. I thin you're seeing only the good of one and only the bad of the other.
