washingtonpost.com — The answer is simple: Republican lawmakers forgot the party's principles, became enamored with power and position, and began putting politics over policy. Now, the Democrats are reaping the rewards of our neglect -- and we have no one to blame but ourselves.

@WartThere is a big difference between pointing at potential danger and "living in fear", however someone, such as you, with your, partisian/obsessive hatred of Bush wouldnt be able to tell the difference.

@ AllofMP3:I think you mean, "no matter what party HE or SHE is a member of." Just keepin' it real! :)

I think it's definitely time for third parties. f**k the Dems, f**k the Repubs. They're both s**tty, and it's because they're the only ones. I for one am voting Independent this time around. If enough people do, maybe our politicians will actually start giving a s**t about us and accomplish something.

Here Here,Dick Armey has finally joined other "true conservatives" like William F Buckley, Pat Buchanon, John Dean, Lou Dobbs and many many others who realize that what Bush & Co have been calling conservatism, is not conservatism. I've been saying this since before 9/11.I'm somewhat of a radical moderate, I do not think it is a coincidence that in recent years, the best years politically and economically have been the years when one party ruled the legislative branch and the other ruled the executive. Thats why I'm voting democrat this year.

I don't recall the US Constitution saying ANYTHING about the SCOTUS getting to decide an election...

Hmmm... Right to Bear Arms? Check. Right for Diebold and Other Friendly Firms to Decide Electoral Outcome? Seems to be missing.
