Republicans only? Not Democrats too?

Remember it takes two to tango.

The name of the game is "Let's get the most votes." Both the Democrats and Republicans are targeting the same issues (such as Mexican truckers crossing the border, illegal immigrant amnesty, etc.) in order to win the most votes on election day.

Here's an article 1-year ago highlighting what's at stake: Bush Is Losing Hispanics' Support, Polls Show

It's all about getting enough "swing" votes to win the next election.

Welcome to American politics in the 21st century.

BTW...I don't like how this "game" is played...but that's the reality....

Democrat or Republican.....both are the same.... slime....


This country truly needs to either get a third party in...OR Elect ALL of the incumbants OUT..... Regardless of Party....

[mudflap276]

we could be a parlimenatary govt and what ever party wins gets to elect the prime minister(prez) and they can let him stay in office as long as the party is still in office. imagine slick willie or lil' bush in office for 15 years. then we would all be crying. i can tolerate 4-8 years.

Ya know, even if one doesn't like to hear it.

One of Capitalisms strongest points is the endless ways it can find to devalue human labor.

I love it when a question about how it is to work for a company becomes a full blown political argument in which no one can even remember the company name the driver asked about...

No, the Dems were not involved. Much of this crap went down while the Repubs controlled congress... In fact the much disgraced "lizard boy", aka Newt Gingrich has been one of the major "cheerleaders" of the movement undertaken by the Repubs and the shills at the ATA to replace Americans with Mexican drivers.....

How well we all know that....but up until recently...when it became amply clear that the Repubs didn't just suffer a minor setback in the last elections, they arrogantly weren't worried about having lost....afterall, the jackass named "Rove" told them it was no big deal..... Teeeheee. Now that the American "people" the electorate has raised their hackles and started biting back.....they are starting to sing a slightly different tune.

Yep, I agree, and thats why no elected office in the land should be held for more than 2 years, and have a term limit imposed of 2 years and 1 day, with no benefits, pay or retirement.

Sorry to disagree with you SkyWalker....but NAFTA also comes to my mind....THE WORST agreement EVER for the working person of this country.....guess who was President.... Mr. Slick Willy himself....he had his little puppet Al Gore go on Larry King and debate Ross Perot... Im not a Perot fan.....but he was right when he said all the jobs will go south...


I agree with you Skywalker about the term limits.....no doubt
