not because I wrote it, but because I think it's important. I recognize that there is a difference between democrats and republicans in DC. But, too often, it's no bigger than the difference between Pepsi and Coke, or McDonalds and Burger King.

Minister Malcolm used to say that the difference between the parties was the difference between a wolf and a fox. The republican wolf will attack you from in front, while the democratic fox smiles at your face and then bites you from behind.

I will always, of course, support any candidate who shares democratic values. But that does not include corporate values, as in Keystone, hydrofracking, never-ending wars in the Middle East, etc.
