We end up losers. All the time.

It's a hard choice sometimes. Choosing between lunatic Republicans and gutless Democrats. Makes me want to vote for Ralph Nader or even a communist. Anything would be better than the choices I have on the ballot. Usually decrepit politicians controlled by the big-money interests. I'm sickened by it all. Democrats in Congress are distancing themselves from President Barack Obama's push to let taxes rise for the wealthiest Americans, fearing it will further harm them in November's mid-term elections. In other words, we're gonna continue to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. Widening the gap between the rich and the poor. That's the American way. Because in America we are ruled by lunatic Republicans and gutless Democrats. There's no winning. We middle class and poor Americans end up being losers. All the time. --Jim Broede
