"We are, indeed, a one-party state"
i've been of this opinion for years, but i've tried nonetheless, very diligently, to convince myself that working through our two-party system was the only way to go... i agree with theyrereal at daily kos, the only ones we've been fooling is ourselves...
i do happen to believe that there are genuine, honest, authentic, principled people sprinkled in both parties, but that they are the great exception... and, even then, it's really hard to tell when you are seeing someone's true colors... all i know now is this, i don't trust a single goddam one of 'em... that doesn't mean i won't work for someone or something that i THINK may move us out of our morass, but i'm going to do it with my eyes wide open, prepared to bolt at the slightest hint of complicity and collusion... we've simply been burned too often...

It's today that I realized that we are, indeed, a one-party state in this country. Oh, we have two official parties, but that's just for show. The reality is that they all work for the same people. Sure, there are different factions and personalities within this all-encompassing group, and granted there might be a few people here and there who doggedly fight the system and actually work for us, but they are VASTLY outnumbered, and more importantly, not taken seriously by the rest of the members of this theatrical group known as the U.S. two-party system.

I think the happenings of today will result in people finally escaping the fantasy of denial, and see the truth for what it is. That the Dems being an "opposition party" is as fictional as Santa Claus.
Our Democratic Party is a fraud. Our two-party system doesn't exist anymore. Oh, they'll try to tell you it does. Kerry will e-mail you a request to help end the war which links to his "donations" page. So will the others. They still want our money. It's all part of the smoke and mirrors.

The Democratic Party, by its actions today, has made it abundantly clear who is in charge of the Democratic Party: THE SAME PEOPLE WHO ARE IN CHARGE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
