I don't need congress and its issues to live my life. And you're kidding yourself if you think eliminating parties would eliminate favoritism/cronyism.
The problem is all the power congress has and it will be for sale party or no.

Yeah, because everyone you've ever voted for was the very picture of integrity. LMAO

Probably true, although the two agendas aren't really dissimilar.

Nope, but why would I expect you to post anything other than something like this?

Anyone who complains about the opposition party being "obstructionists" wants a one party system.

Let's face it the main problem the GOP has is the Hispanic vote which Trump has forfeited this election and why sane Republicans are distancing themselves from Trump.

I posted a DMN piece. Is that illegal?

And you're telling it like it is? No you're not. You're just shooting the messenger.

If you disbelieve the link's assertion, then it should be no big deal. Let it roll off your back.

I've been a resident of Texas my whole life and have never voted for Perry. I've skipped plenty of races.

Additionally, it's not like Hillary has a minor integrity problem, she's a poster child for a lack of integrity. So are the Democrats that support her.

THEN, just one ultra-corrupt and retarded party running things.....that does not make me feel very good. Better to have a government that is at-war with itself, crippled and doing as little damage and power-consolidation as possible.
