That's a pretty revealing word choice you've got there.

It reveals he doesn't like politics and that he likes none of the current running candidates much?Mage246 said:That's a pretty revealing word choice you've got there.
Now if only we could get that Nobel Prize revoked using the same logic.maw said:They're all scum.
Fact is, regardless of the environment, President Obama had his shot at a four-year moment of greatness, couldn't overcome the challenges, and showed that he and his administration lacked the critical competance to overcome.
You'll note that previous statement, although general, was devoid of partisan bias. Just truth. And no matter how much his apologists lay at the feet of former President Bush, Repugnicans, the great Right Wing Conspiracy, world economy, etc. a president of any corporation, or nation, either overcomes or succumbs to circumstances. Those who overcome are great leaders, no matter their political position. Those who succumb by lack of talent, skill, and/or ability go down in history as emarrassing failures.
So the general feeling in the United States, as I'm reading it, is that even if the other candidate is <insert accurate assessment or innacurate slur here>, BHO had his shot and missed it, not just once but repeatedly, and Anybody But Obama will be the next president.

If folks even succeeded at doing either, another party would fill the void and we'd have a different two-party system. The most consistent empirical pattern established in 100 years of political science is that a plurality electoral system will produce two catch all parties (Duverger's law).MadocComadrin said:We've either got to hit 'em in the purse or in the head.
How does any of that make a restructuring impossible?Suspicious Pilgrim said:Eliminating a two party system is impossible, considering:
1. Liberal and conservative policies are all interrelated.
2. The party system has been around since the Constitution was written.
3. The government is controlled by a a two-party system.
