Comments on: The Race Heats Up in the NY 23rd http://themoderatevoice.com/49985/the-race-heats-up-in-the-ny-23rd/ An Internet hub with domestic and international news, analysis, original reporting, and popular features from the left, center, indies, centrists, moderates, and right Wed, 30 May 2012 23:31:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: JeffersonDavis http://themoderatevoice.com/49985/the-race-heats-up-in-the-ny-23rd/comment-page-1/#comment-223576 JeffersonDavis Mon, 19 Oct 2009 00:37:22 +0000 http://themoderatevoice.com/?p=49985#comment-223576 Amen, amen, amen, amen, and amen!!!!<br><br>Corporatocracy. Good word. Meanwhile, we Rs and Ds (and a few I's) spend our time and effort fighting each other while the status quo marches on. If we were to actually come together and unscrew the government, they'd probably crack down hard. I guess that's why I love the Tea Party movement. I'm a democrat and have met people from every political line at those protests. The media makes it out to be a "GOP" thing. I thought so too at first, until I got involved. That particular movement seems to be more about restoration of power to the people and a readherance to the Constitution. Amen, amen, amen, amen, and amen!!!!

We live in a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporatocracy" rel="nofollow">Corporatcracy</a> not a Democracy here in the US and although it may sound like the R's and the D's are singing different songs they are both marching to the same drummers and those drummers are in the corporate boardrooms and not on Main Street.

No matter who wins, it will have zero affect on policy, governance, or the future. The Republican Party is irrelevant to the governance of the U.S. If the Republican wins or loses cannot be more irrelevant to the U.S. <br><br>I guess focusing on an irrelevant election gives people something to think about instead of how the U.S. will function as a one party state where non-whites are dominate.

Either they learn from the debacle they have caused or they don't, and we all have to pay a price. On the plus side, the whole mess ought to serve as an antidote to the facile lie that the 'Tea Party' insurgency is controlled and manipulated by the Republican Party. Maybe, just maybe, Hoffman will win and we'll get the best of all worlds. If not, at least we avoid another Specter. The Republican Establishment deserves a good thumping for screwing this race up.
