I can't disagree with any of your points. I too used to be a Republican, before the attempted political coup during the Clinton administration. I will never forget the grandstanding and absurded grab for power that I witnessed. Perhaps Clinton did lie about his affair, but he should have never had to testify about the meaningsless and personally emabarrasing mistake he made.

America is being divided by the ever growing disparity amongst the wealthy and middle/lower classes. The wealthy are becoming much wealthier, the middle class is barely hanging on and slipping up to their necks in debt, and lower class is boraged with the competition from illegal immagration.

What can be done? Not much, it's almost to late. The country is heading towards a financial melt down. For those Americans with a little insight, the future looks bleak indeed. The people with financial strengh and/or political power are totally self indulgent, ignorant, and totally apathetic about everything that doesn't affect them personnally or financially. Soon, it will be apparant to all.
