4. they forgot how. The current crew are still searching for their balls,
then, their spinal dura.
Feingold is looking better and better. Too many others are hiding.

10. At this stage in the game,
if you think you need to lie to vote yes, you probably understand why street thugs in suits are in charge of everything in this country.

Good. Keep it up, we only have a very few steps left to becoming a fascist police state, we will get there pretty soon with help from the vindictively short-sighted...

12. As long as they are all sucking the corporate teat....
there is no meaningful difference other than who they pander to at election time.

17. Done. 50/50
I believe there ARE meaningful differences between R's and D's, but when talking about the ones in DC, I had to say no. :banghead:

20. i said yes - we need to slam this with yes
People dont vote Dem if they dont see theres a difference. We know the current Dems suck. But in order to win 2006, WE MUST SHOW THEY ARE DIFFERENT.

23. IMO there is a meaningful difference but that difference has not been
demonstrated by those in position to do so. It would not surprise me in the least if a great majority said there was no difference. Do you think the Democratic Leaders realize the people feel this way about them or do they even care? I can't believe they are just totally oblivious. :shrug: right now the poll is at fifty fifty with only 1300 votes cast.

26. But that's just it.
Democrats are not in a position to make that difference clear. They're powerless. The Repukes control all three branches of government.

27. There was a time about twelve years ago when Democrats had total Control
Republicans still managed to let America know they were different. They introduced the Contract with America and made their presence known. They managed to get on all talk shows all the time. When was the last time Kerry was on This Week or Meet the Press? What "Democrat" asks for the air time, Leiberman or Biden? They could do a lot more and you know damn well they could...

24. Just consider the fact that Democratic presidencies have been far more
successful. The Repugs know it, are jealous of it, & that's why they have had to resort to stealing elections. Then they pay off the media to maintain the illusion that they are legitimate & that the Democrats are the enemy. Looking at the consistently low approval ratings since the boy king's "election victory", however, the people can see through the hype.

25. The fact that people think there is no difference is a testament to
the power of the corporate media brainwashing machine.

33. Voted no. Differences, yes. "meaningful"? no.
The "good cop" isn't a helluva lot different than the "bad cop". They both work for the same bosses.
