Why don't we elect Safire or something?

Because we only get a choice between Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee. This is because those are the candidates picked for us to vote for by both branches of the ruling party. Nobody else has a chance.

Sneaky, this may make you ill but do you remember the song, "We Are the World" sung by numerous rock stars in a fund-raiser for the starving Ethiopians? All that money and food were confiscated by the corrupt Ethiopian government.

Not a dime's wort of difference between the socialist, big-spending Rats or Pubs, although the Pubs tend to lead us down the path a little slower. Are we past the point where the ballot box can really make a difference in America? Looks to me like the same bunch of elitists is pulling the strings in both major parties.
