I Reject The Two-Party System Because I Reject These Two Parties

The republicans used 9/11 as an excuse to get their own way -- shouting down all opposition with an argument along the lines of, "We're doing this, and if you ain't with us, you're against us, and you want more innocent people to die!"

It sure would be lame if some other political party ever exploited a national tragedy like that.

The real problem with the republicans is that they lack consistency. As far as guns are concerned, they're all about FREEDOM! and LIBERTY! But they won't hesitate to strip gays of their marriage rights, or women of their right to decide what goes down inside their own bodies.

It sure would be lame if some other political party were every bit as inconsistent in their approach to individual rights.

Speaking personally, I've had it with the republicans. I guess, logically, that means I've also had it with any other party resembling the republicans... hmm, I can only think of one example.
