As the republicans continue to falter, so do the democrats. I honestly must say I don't know what the democrats stand for. I'm retired and I follow the political scene closely. Every time the democrats respond, i think the word "wimps". If the plan is to stay back and let the republicans self-destruct, don't count on it. The country right now is ripe for a third party. The democrats and the republicans have both sold out to corporate interests. The difference is the republicans have out sold the democrats. Right now, no one represents the people, the backbone of this country.
Many americans do not realize what the government is doing and how they are doing it.
Both parents work. They have children to take care of and homes to clean. Our democracy is in trouble and most people are not aware of it. Plus I must not forget 9/11 and the fearmongering since then. Many people are so fearful they're very willing to give up civil rights if it makes them feel safer. Right now I am more afraid of my government than I am of Osama Bin Laden.
