Sacrificing Pawns

 To put it simply, Republicans approach politics like America fights wars: They don’t want to lose a single man. Democrats, on the other hand? They look at politics like the Russians looked at Stalingrad: The congressman in front votes now; when they fall the next man gets elected and he will vote too. [More]

Which helps explain why the shift is always to the left...

  1. Sadly, it explains a lot.

    The Democrats see this as a War.

    The Republicans see this as a contest.

    So, the War on ____________.

    The Left really are waging a war on fill-in-the-blank.

    Most everyone else are clueless and scared. The "Kick the can down the road" attitude did not win America's Independence.

    But try and convince Karl Rove of that.

  2. Unfortunately, there is no impetus for either side to change. They are firmly rutted (not a typo) in their mindset. I believe the only way out is for a fire-in-the-belly independent party, backed by a non-apathetic voter base, to "invade" the government, from local to federal.

    But that will never happen and I'll hopefully be gone before the country takes the next two steps, the last being over the cliff's edge.
