I worked in a mill fill of democrats.
I was a member of a union that supported democrats.
I became president of that same democrat supporting union.
I started making money online.
I quit working in the mill, and for the union.
In '00, I voted none of the above.
In '04, I'll do the same.
Why?
Because the current flock of elected democrats seem to have gone completely insane.
The current flock of republicans seem to be on some uncontrollable power trip.
Democrats cannot speak without namecalling or arguing on top of an opposing viewpoint. (they've become extremely rude.).
Republicans cannot speak without bringing some form of religion or patriotism into the mix to make their point. (they've become extremely cheesy)
Democrats can no longer make any arguments without nitpicking on the smallest insignificant detail, and turning it into THE major topic of discussion. (playing on the emotions of the poor and elderly.)
Republicans seem to have a hard time with facts, evidence, and truth.
In one case, Democrats weren't going to get their way, so the LEFT THE STATE from which they were elected to be the so-called leaders.
Meanwhile the Republicans from that state were trying to tip the tables in their favor.
I'm 29, I've been working since the day I turned 16. I use ZERO local, state, or federal services, nor do my wife or child, that are not directly paid for out of my pocket (trash removal). I've worked my ass off to get what I have, yet I'm obligated to still fork over ~40% of my income, and the Democrats put up a big stink because Bush wanted to give a (VERY) little back.
Republicans try to blindside you with a chump change tax breaks.
And, anyone that thinks that it's just Bush who is/will be coming down hard on this business didn't pay attention to what Gore had planned. (the same exact thing)
You can't win EITHER way.
I feel ill.

I agree with you, it is a no win situation. The dems have become spineless for fear of being called 'un-patriotic'. But as far as democrats being rude, I think its the other way around. If you listen to conservatives all they do is trash anyone that speaks out against Bush, Joe Scarborough spends half his show bashing celebs that havent agreed with Bush. The media has a stronghold against any liberal views, speak against Bush and you can bet you will be boycotted or at the very least harrassed.
I am not a democrat or republican, I agree with Pat Buchanans views as much as Phil Donahue but I think its a damn shame how this country is being manipulated by both the govt and the media.
