When I knock the republican party or George Bush, conservatives think I am automatically boosting the democratic party. It seems that if they are capable of thought at all, it is only binary.

My father set the example for me: he never missed voting in an election but he almost never voted for either republican or a democrat. For me, the democratic party mostly represents the lesser of two evils. Summed up this picture:

as well as this essay by someone named Stan Goff:

When I suggested that everyone vote in Democrats in 2006, I said at the same time that this was no endorsement. I said that without their minority status to fall back on, they would be exposed as co-imperialists with the Republicans to all who still bore Sisyphean hopes for that agglomeration of political oxygen theft.

They just overwhelmingly authorized a resolution declaring the armed forces of another sovereign nation to be a terrorist group. They have consistently authorized pantopticon surveillance. Now they are in unison saying the war will last for ten, maybe 20 years, and they will not stop it even if they are in power.

Wanna hear the funny part? The Republicans are going to beat their asses in 2008, and a lot of us aren’t going to lift a finger to stop it from happening.

I still believe that a Waring blender would have been a better president than George Bush, and that a ’64 Chevy Impala could do a better job than either Giuliani or Thompson.
