Originally posted by sh76There is no viable opposition party in the U.S., only two faces of the Capitalist Party -- one unabashed, the other apologetic; so as the Empire crumbles the people going down with it are doing the only thing they can think to do: throw out whichever party is in control on election day and install the other party. These oscillations are getting wilder and more frequent, so, I seriously doubt the Republicans will hold the House longer than 4 years -- 6 on the outside.
You survived between 1994 and 2006. You can survive another 3 or 4 decades of GOP control of the House.

The "representative of the people" who was passing out checks from tobacco lobbyists on the House floor before a vote to cut tobacco subsidies? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAC2xeT2yOg

Gosh - has everyone in this thread just violated Godwin's Law?
I might add that the law (which I've only read about for the first time last week) makes mention of making mention of Hitler and/or Nazis in an Internet discussion. Since I have now made mention of Hitler and/or Nazis with this post, the law...is affirmed!
Originally posted by TeinosukeI just edited my post whilst you made yours, though the spirit of it is not altered. Anyway -- no, it's not good enough in my book. Perhaps you're reaching for a corollary to the law, or would like to propose one for peer review...?
Mention of fascists isn't good enough?
