I don't care what your party affiliation happens to be-- personally I can't see why anyone would want to put themselves in a box with a label on it (come out come out wherever you are)-- but that aside, go see Michael Moore's film. I mentioned seeing it to a coworker and her immediate response was, "Bush-bashing." Well yes and no. There are many times when he manages to look like a mean idiot without any skew or assistance from the film. Sure there are some jabs, but his pride and boasting invites them. The rest of it is highly-researched information about big business-family ties and a lot of money; as Bush himself states, the haves and the have-mores are his "base." Crypto means hidden, fascist means government controlled by business. Tell me he's not a crypto-fascist. Of this I am certain-- he is no Republican. He has nothing in common with the staunch honest hard-working people like my Grandmother, who told me with great worry in her voice that she thinks for the first time in 60 years she'll vote Democrat.
The two party system fails to represent the silent majority. People tend to have balanced views about the world in which we all have to live together. Some may be fiscally conservative and morally liberal, believe that the government should have limited power, expect health care and schools to be high quality, and vice versa, or any combination of the above. There are people who are morally conservative but don't think it's their right to limit the rights of others, and there are people who are morally liberal and demand the whole country agree with them. That infamous liberal whine can't we all just get along rings hollow, especially because those we elect fail to accurately represent their constituency. They are bought and paid for by the biggest businesses in the world, and those corporations want only to get rich.
Don't define yourself as an -ism. Understand that ignorance and power and pride are a deadly mixture, and that the love of money (not money, but the love of it-- think about it) is the root of all evil. So these are the problems. What's your solution?
