Ohh, say, how it's the republicans, not the democrats that bring about increased government spending over the last 30 years. How it's the republicans, not the democrats who have dramatically increase the size and scope of government, while claiming to be all about small government. It's the republicans, who by nature claim to want to keep government out of peoples lives as much as possible who have brought us closer to a police state than any other party. Finally it's largely been the republicans who brought us deregulation that has proven to be a complete and utter disaster in the financial world. Now of course the democrats are so close to the republicans these days politically and philosophically, that none of this probably matters. I laugh when people talk about the democrats being somehow left and the republicans right. Really, there's very little difference between the parties. They each want to change from the last change that changed to to some other change. Honestly, why is "change" a platform for either party? It's completely meaningless. If we want change we probably should sack congress and start over. > > /* > PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net > Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug > Don't fear the penguin. > */ /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
