fail to recognize that sometimes we Dems can be just as bad joining with the Repugs on so many issues so that true fundamentals of what "We the People" need get co-opted by the merging of the Repugs and Dems on Unions, Health Care, SS/Medicare/Wall Street Banks (Too Big to Fail) /America's Future, i.e. the Jobs we Lost to ASIA now are gone and folks are supposed to just get "Re-Educated" (FOR WHAT?) and the decline of America in survitude to Wall Street which began under Reagan and continued through Clinton and now Obama.

You ignore this? Or, if you don't...what are the SOLUTIONS that you would advocate?
