Style over substance.

Promises over actions.

Platforms over performance.

The Repos ARE no worse than the Dems would be, if THEY wielded absolute power, true - but right now? It's time for the Dems to do their jobs (this century) as the janitors of the Republican party - go and fix the messes made. The 'Profit-taking' cycle has got to end, we have got to stop eating ourselves alive.

What sucks is that civil liberties are now probably permanently damaged, as a politician relinquishing power over citizenry is almost unheard of.
