I wish so much that a reasonable third party could emerge. One that would combine the strengths of both parties while ridding itself of the rabid wings of both and that would rely on common sense, compassion, and the constitution rather than on pandering to the vocal few for its platform. But as long as money buys politicians faster than people can vote we will never have such a party.

Again it is the hypocrisy of it all. I also like how they try to hide it. Is it because they are ashamed of their hypocrisy or just don't want to be exposed?
I'm curious if you read the article. Who's position do you support and why?

Did you read the information in the article - are you asserting you stand with Congress? The Democrat controlled Congress?! You don't appear to have a grasp on this issue beyond sound bites, I could be wrong; however.

Who cares who's in charge - how do you solve the issue while observing the Constitution and the Extraordinary Writ of Habeas Corpus?

Do you understand why this is so incredibly important?

So do I, but we have to work with the cards we're dealt. This is one of the most important and critical issues before us.

Once again the U.S. voter is the victim.
I did not vote for either. There is a movement going on to vote out every incumbent in the House and Senate her in the DFW area. I have joined it and will do my darnedest to get the point across. I don't see it as wasting my vote, I see it as my duty to force change. It is too bad that most are sheep nowadays.

I live in the DFW area and hadn't even heard of this. How interesting.
