The only thing that saddens me more than an otherwise intelligent person voting Republican, is an otherwise intelligent person voting Democrat and thinking it's going to make a difference.

Hillary voted for the military action in Iraq and only differs from the president in the way an armchair quarterback differs from the QB himself.

America will be going into Iran very soon and the Democrats will only put up enough of a fight to make it look like they have different corporate backers.

Short of a couple of bones for the masses, a Democratic majority in Congress won't stop the wars, corruption and general takeover of our country by big business.

I would like to put my vote where my pen is.

To all you Democrats who wanted to vote third party but just can't shake the lesser-of-two-evils mentality: If we go into Iran, you vote third party next time.

If we don't, I'll vote Democrat. Deal or no deal?

Oh, and remember, they'll have a really good excuse.

They always do.
