One of the biggest mistakes Americans have made in recent years is confusing government with business. They are totally different and should not be run the same. Bush/Cheney are the CEO administration and they prove what an utter failure that theory of government is.
note to McCain's supporters - Both of them. LOL!
I lost respect for Hillary after she went around praising McCain. That was a huge mistake on her part.
Because of this, I predict we will see the primary season start before Thanksgiving in 2011.
George Washington railed against the rise of political parties in his farewell speeches. He predicted that it would lead to polarization that is terminal to a Democracy, which is what we have now. The problem is that our constitution supports a two party system with the winner-take-all elections we have. If we switched to proportional representation it would help with the two party system but it would require a constitutional amendment.
