It's time to get rid of DemoCRAPs and RepubliCONs altogether. There needs to be a neutral party.

I read that George Washington predicted that a 2 party system would doom democracy. But don't expect anything substantial to ever change in our political system. Even the smallest changes hardly ever happen.

Perhaps instead, we should think about what motivates such differences in ideology, that results in this division.

Unless we change to a parliamentary system, it will always be a two party system

I am glad to hear you say that. On a certain other site I could name -- but won't -- and probably don't even need to -- the political discussions are filled with nasty insults, nasty accusations and childish name-calling and I keep reminding the posters, to no avail, that the forum is for political discussion, not for personal attacks. Hey, I'm fairly new here -- you can't expect me to know all the rules. But don't worry: When it comes to political issues, I will abstain from "picking sides" or saying anything that might provoke squabbling. Instead, I offer this possibly-true, politics-related story for your amazement and amusement:

Late one night in Washington DC, a mugger stuck his gun in the back of a well-dressed man and demanded, "Give me your money!" The man turned around and protested, "You can't do this to me. I'm a United States Congressman." The mugger said, "Oh. In that case, give me my money!"

No worries 98. We've been around for a while, and we should all know better, but we tend to forget from time to time and sometimes need a reminder.

Glad to have you aboard!
 
Yeah, I missed it where I implied any of that, as well.

S&C just has a hard on for me and my posts, so that's why he's on ignore. (I'm assuming this has something to do with him/her)?

I'm pretty invested in the interests of this country and would love to hear about the state of it. Seems patriotic to watch it.

If you're invested in the interests of this country and patriotic, you should watch it. That's what you said. It's implied that if you don't watch, then you're neither of those.

Maybe instead of blaming me, you might want to consider what you're posting. Oh I'm sorry, you're not going to see this, because you can't handle disagreement.
 
I have never come across a poster on any forum which offended my sensibilities enough to put him/her on ignore. I don’t agree with all but I respect their right to be wrong.

Pal, you're looking too far into things. If you're now assuming things I do and don't imply, we're gonna be here all night. Are you now asking yourself what my implications are about that last statement? Does it mean I wanna be friends? Or maybe my implications are I think you're a swell guy? Gimme a break....

Here is a quote from you talking to Memebag... I'm just following your own advice, pal.

But if you don't find it odd, and feel annoyed by my post (as you seem to be), then feel free to ignore it.

I didn't until this place. That's partly why I took such a long break.
