Just for fun I thought I'd post my opinion (troll, rant, whatever) on the current state of our political system. <br /><br />On one side you have the Democratic party. A party under the total control of the far left. The dems can't seem to do anything but whine and complain. They offer no new ideas and have pretty much abandoned the majority of their "normal" members. Most dems that I know who are over say 35, stick with their party with the idea that it still stands for the american worker,truth, honesty, and the american way of life. Kind of like Superman. <br /><br />On the other side you have the Republican party. Most on the left believe that this party is controlled by the far right. In fact, the republican party is controlled by itself. It is a self serving machine that runs for office on the principles of conservatives, but as soon as they move into their new office, they blow us off and do what they want. The over 35 crowd in this party sticks around for 2 reasons. They remember the leadership and inspiration of Reagan, and their choices at the polls are bad (republican) or real bad (democrats). <br /><br />The fact is that for every lefty troll you see about some republican offical, you can (if you want to bother) post a troll on some democrat. <br /><br />I wrote one of my Senators yesterday to voice my dissatisfaction with the illegal alien issue in the senate. If I disapear, you'll know why.<br /><br />I lean towards the conservative side of things but am running out of voting options. I'd vote for a third party candidate if I could find one that isn't a nut in their own right. <br /><br /><br />If you don't like my thread and are going to post a troll related pic, please post something new so I can add it to my collection. I really liked the straightjacket and Pee Wee pics posted on another thread.
