Trying to blame one side or the other for the current state of affairs is ridiculous. For where ever there are Democrats there are Republicans, and where ever there are Republicans there are Democrats. Both wasting so much breath blaming the other side for mistakes that they fail to do anything about it. And where ever there is money you will find both sides. I'm not sure about the whole free market issue, it seems that our economy is controled by the sale and use of military hardware more than anything else, a fact that I find completely revolting. And I don't see how you can say Bush is for lower government involvement (you site airline security) When first he puts National Guard troops in airports and then gives billions in aid to the airline companies so they don't fold... That doesn't sound very free-marketish. In a free market the companies that don't cut it go out of business, they don't get handouts. But I'm sure the Democrats would have done the exact same thing. And yes Democrats have sat on their asses while human rights are violated around the world... But so have the Republicans... Let's not forget the Chinese invasion of Tibet where buddhists monks were slaughtered and are still prevented from exercising their religion. Or how about Saudia Arabia, an ally during many presidencies of both parties, a repressive monarchy that we have helped hold up with our military sales and support, women are almost as repressed in many areas of the world as they are in this one country that we supposedly liberated (Afghanistan). Both the Democrats and the Republicans have ignored those issues that they feel can be ignored and when they can't they blame the other side. Both have supported Indonesia's 30 year occupation and ethnic cleansing of East Timor (look it up you won't find it on the nightly news). We have sold weapons to their army which they now use to kill civilians. Clinton, Bush I, Bush II, They're all the same... Grasping greedy politicians who can't wait to make more money and ruin the rest of us in the process... So instead of blaming the 'Democrats' for all the worlds ill's why don't you look at each person as an individual... A Republican can be just as greedy and heartless as a Democrat can... and they are often some of the worst...
We are all responsible for the evils our government does... This is supposed to be a democracy you know... We elect these men and women... We should all feel guilty when our leaders decide to bomb someone for not agreeing... If we do then we can get off our asses and change the system so we can all one day feel pride at the masterpiece we have created... But it won't happen as long as the Bushes and Clintons of the world hold power.
