Bipartisan Politics

Somehow people think bipartisan legislation is good. Nothing could be further from the truth. It simply means that both parties know that in the “two party system” there is no choice other than one of the two, so if they present a unified front there is nothing the voters can do. The job of the party in opposition is to oppose, to provide an alternative, not to deny the voters a voice. Bipartisanship is the visible face of oligarchy, it shows that there is just one political class, governed by self-interest and perpetuation of its privileges.
Vote for Libertarian Bob Barr. No, it won’t make him President, the Republicrats are too entrenched for that. Or, if you must, Baldwin, McKinney or Nader. Anybody but a Demican. Show them that they have gone too far. Send a message.

Our days democracy is irrevocable concentration of power in the hands of limited responsibility politicians. This naturally and unavoidably leads to corruption.
I hope this system will discredit itself in the nearest future.

May the universal creator have mercy on us all… we are so F#cked!
The Democrats: The party of NO ideas.
The Republicans: The party of BAD ideas.
and the Republicans are actually fighting this and taking the moral high ground which should tell everyone how stinky it is.

I thought Congress was supposed to be “representatives” - representing their constituents. The vast majority of Americans oppose the bailout. So much for democracy.

Vote with your wallet by exiting the banks and the dollar. It is the only vote that Congress will respond to.
