Current politics?: Lavender Room: Slowtwitch Forums

The funny thing about politics is that people make it soooooo personal.....Clinton, Bush, Kerry, etc. They are simply puppets for their organizations. Democrats, Republicans, etc. This is why I wish a multi-party system is best...but probably will never work.

Republicans - Less government control, less taxes - less programs

Democrats - More goverment control, more taxes - more programs

Let me give it to you in ST terms:
