Democracy requires compromise to function. With what the GOP control of Congress has done the past 10 years (earmarks, no amendment bills, K Street, emergency sessions, centralization of bill generation etc...) with what the Administration has done in the past 6 (unprecedented secrecy, abuse of signing statements, manipulative legal interpretations etc...) you have a system that's not just in the majority, but that's using this position to rig the entire system permanently.
The Democrats have certainly been guilty of excess and some fraud over the years, but nothing that holds a candle to what the current GOP leadership is doing.
Our democracy is broken.

Hey spence, I'm back, and would like you to know that "your full of $hit up to your ears, and the rest is toilet paper". If a Democrat gets elected, and pulls our troops out of Iraq, we will be fighting the terrorists in this country. I hope your prepared to defend this country.
