It is time to ask, what have the parties done for me lately?

This may come as a shock, but the parties were not created to do anything thing for you. They are there to assist their candidates; they are political entities, not municipal or charitable organizations.

If you've got issues, raise them with your elected reps. If you really want to ask that "what have you done for me lately", why not ask them?

LOLRH -- Ah ... ok, since you don't agree with me, I'll pretend this isn't an election season. DA-OH!
