Politics as usual


Liberty needs someone keeping the politicos honest, and the two major parties rig the game to protect their own interest
Capital Hill Blue has a rant worth your time. Here are two selected paragraphs.

Over on the right-wing side of the great partisan divide, the conservatives and Republicans twist their crying towels because endlessly self-promoting anti-tax activist Grover Norquist is smack dab in the middle of the Jack Abramoff scandal.

* * *

But while the right-wing is spinning over one of their own in trouble, the left side of the fence is in absolute apoplexy over new questions about the motives of two of their favorite sons -- Jerome Armstrong and Markos Moulitsas, founders of DailyKos, the Mecca of  so-called “progressive” Democrats.

The question about "which side" is worse is just a distraction.

Both the Democrats and the Republicans want you to ignore what they are doing while questioning every single thing that the other guys are doing.

Do you want your right eye or left eye gouged out?

If someone demonizes President Bush, does that mean they are right or merely that they are looking for political opportunity?

Where is the alternative?

That is the whole reason behind a two party system. It's the only justifiable reason why two parties and only two parties should be allowed to compete. And no, I don't think it is a very good reason.

As it stands now, no matter which party wins, the statists stay in power. Oh, they will fume when the other side uses the machinery of government that they put in place for their own benefit, but either party in power means that vast sums of money will be wasted and Americans will lose their freedom.

The only thing that could keep the two parties in line is competition, something that they do not have right now.
