Two Parties, No Choice

This op-ed piece from Maureen Dowd of the NY Times has enough juice for two posts so watch for Part 2...

DeLay, Deny and Demagogue
March 24, 2005

Are the Republicans so obsessed with maintaining control over all branches of government, and are the Democrats so emasculated about not having any power, that they are willing to turn the nation into a wholly owned subsidiary of the church?...

Even some Republicans seemed appalled at this latest illustration of Nietzsche's observation that "morality is the best of all devices for leading mankind by the nose."...

The president, who couldn't be dragged outdoors to talk about the more than a hundred thousand people who died in the horrific tsunami, was willing to be dragged out of bed to sign a bill about one woman his base had fixated on...

Republicans easily abandon their cherished principles of individual privacy and states rights when their personal ambitions come into play...

The president and his ideological partners don't believe in separation of powers. They just believe in their own power.
Thank you, Maureen.

In my never to be humble opinion, the Republicans just screwed themselves. Unfortunately, the Democrats have already been there since Clinton "never had sex outside of marriage"...

The final question is: What's this country's electorate supposed to do with these two "buried-in-their-own-unique-sh*t" parties?
