But why did we have to pull teeth to get it?
Why do you prefer knocking the intergity of others over addressing the issue at hand?
Is this a bashing board or a board of ideas in your eyes?
pull teeth?
this is from my VERY FIRST POST on this thread;
well I am NOT a democrat (Independent) but i am more likely to vote for a democrat for president than a republican...
it tells me that, just like SOME republicans who have also been indicted for bad behavior, SOME democrats behave badly....
SOME dems do behave badly
and some repubs behave badly, too
a smarter, wiser person (you probably don't know any) would not blame ALL dems (or ALL repubs) for the bad behavior of just a few...
And my response is this....
If the two pary's dont openly speak against their own that commit such acts that compromises the integrity of our electoral system, the issue will become worse.
We can talk about how both partys do it all we want.
My issue is with party leaders that ignore it when their own do it. They should do more than just a press release...they should make it part of their agenda on a regular basis.
Our electoral process is priceless to our republic...and we can not let partys ruin it for us.
ok
personally I am more opposed to political parties than I am to unions
ALL politicians should be independent of party demands and ideology so they can best represent their constituents
and any and all politicians who behave badly should be reprimanded/punished appropriately
