When a Republican was governor the democratic businessmen who focused on construction and government contracts simply closed up shop until a Democrat was re-elected. At that point the republican businessmen then went home. <BR/><BR/>This level of cronyism operates on the national level as well, just on a much bigger scale. <BR/><BR/>We are all just working pawns in the elitist game of chess. Hopefully we will not starve to death waiting to be moved.<BR/><BR/>I just love you Judy!BigBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11552206865163220761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849295687305547598.post-52071950117728778342008-01-28T06:46:00.000-07:002008-01-28T06:46:00.000-07:00I think it is a bit of all three, plus what Ryan s...I think it is a bit of all three, plus what Ryan said. They are all members of the Trilateral Commission, THE elite club, all buddies who each get their turn at the big trough. Elections and any display of difference (what little there is) is nothing but a charade.adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16915238889263579309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849295687305547598.post-47334292954692216822008-01-28T00:11:00.000-07:002008-01-28T00:11:00.000-07:00I see two reasons which are slightly less extreme....I see two reasons which are slightly less extreme. The first reason is that the real difference between republicans and democrats is far far smaller then anyone involved in our political establishment is willing to admit. <BR/><BR/>The second reason is that for better or worse the two sides of the political establisment strive to get along and nobody ever really rocks the boat very hard. They all know that sooner or later circumstances will be switched and if they take too much of an advantage when they are in charge the other side will also. They will get a little victory here or there such as an assault weapons ban or a tax cut but ultimately they do not exercise full advantage.<BR/><BR/>Also to think that either side (with rare exceptions such as Ron Paul) truely believes in the constitution or freedom is a mistake. They believe in the parts that fit with their world vision.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09612373437033635765noreply@blogger.com
