Don't you see the disadvantages of a two-party system? I mean, I know technically there are other parties, but they hold no real political power. Don't you see a problem with that? Is the Republican response somewhat tied into the mentality of "we have only one political adversary"?

That's just it, I don't have a political adversary, I don't even have a dogged "political" opinion, but I have many personal and individual thoughts. I have an idea of what some parties tend to lean towards, but I think most Americans linger at the top of the political bell curve. I think other countries make more of our politics that we do, for us it's part of the freedom, it's part of life. I like the excitement, and the drama can be entertaining. You know what Baraka, I just love America, warts and all. No I'm not calling Obama a wart.

And, IMO, the lack of intellectual curiosity to learn more about the legislation ("couldnt find it? wtf!) if it might challenge one's basic assumptions.

It took me a while to find it also, but I kept looking and was grateful when it was made available to me. I'm sure as someone who understands policy, you know sometimes one must reiterate in a myriad of ways to cover all your bases, and make all you points.
I think if you felt the way we do about the whole freedom issue, or at least accepted it as a potential personal threat you would not see it as regurgitation but more as an opportunity to continue attempting to convince those who don't conform that it's o,k, to give up a little freedom, right. I mean if its for a for a good cause and all, right.
Don't give up on us so easy dc_dux you never know when one of us will break and saw, ah shucks ya'll were right, hell it's just a little freedom, who needs it anyway when we got such great and trusted people to take care of us, right?
