a 'problem' when we have 8% unemployement.

Today's Republicans don't care about people, they only care about profits. Once you internalize that little truth, everything else about them (their apparent economic ineptitude not the least of things), everything else about them falls into place. Seldom if ever in our nation's history has one of the two major political parties organized itself around sociopathy (lack of empathy for fellow citizens).

OK, maybe the antebellum Democrats could be accused of same, but there was a Northern anti-slavery wing of the Democratic Party back in the 1850s. That's the main reason Lincoln won in 1860 - northern and southern Dems split over the issue of limiting the spread of slavery.
