Where's the Diff



I have now caught both parties debates over the last cycle and I have to tell you it was business as usual.
First
Did the republicans and democrats really sound different. Other than little nuances and the war corner the democrats have paint theirself into, there is not much difference. Of course, bot claims to be fighters for the middle class plight, but its the same ole same ole. They lie we believe because ....well we really want to believe dont we.

Second
The democrats really sounded like the same issue pumping for votes saying the same thing as they always do. The only exceptions is where they have painted themself nice corner they cant get out.

Third
The republicans well went to the ole standby them self. War, military and taxes.

Fourth
In both debates, does it not seem the moderators was spoon fed qyestuibs or asking the same ole question out of the parties Playbook.

The problem is that they see us as Block Heads. We are this voting block or this voting block. The women voting block, the black voting block, the hispanic voting block, The youth block, The religious block, etc. etc. etc.

The Idea is of course is to split vote; to reduce the middle class voter to a splinter block of voters, so they can fight over the votes from the above mention blocks.

The trouble is that we fall for it. Election after Election. We swallow their pea soup and smile until the betray us, and then we jump over to the next party. If one look at the voting history of america one would find that the power has swing twice over the last thirty years. From the balance positions of the 50 and 50'6 when both parties were populated with cross liberals and conservatives. Yes, there was once upon a time such a animal as a conservative democrat, etc.

So fellow block heads if you really want your vote to count; you have two options.
1. Vote Independent until we force a third party and we have real representation.
2. The Ugly choice for fellow blockheads is to vote against the money. As the primaries close and force us to vote from two people, vote against the money. Vote for the lesser fund raiser. The huckabees and Edwards type candidate are not completely free of vices of the brokers of our future, but atleast there is a chance...just a slim chance we will get real representation for us fellow joe blow middle class.
