Democrats repeating same mistake the Republicans Made?

the democrats are just too optimistic. they believe they can accomplish everything since they control D.C.
obama wants to cut the national debt in half by the end of his 1st term.
i for one do not think that is possible, but i certainly hope they can do it

i dont think they shoudl get a 3rd party into congress. our government system was established to work a certain way. for one, our electoral college system promotes 2 national parties, becoming resistant to any 3rd party from entering. to just change the government requires congress vote and sate legislature vote. a change like that wont happen.

we have to live with the system we have right now. we need to work with the system. not just change it because it doesnt fit a certain perspective

The fact of the matter is that there is little difference between either of the parties. Of course they have conflicts of ideals, but when it comes down to it, nothing really changes one way or another. Obamma is doing right now everything that Bush would have done had he had another term (hypothetically).

That's what I keep telling people. The worst part is that the democrats KNOW IT, and yet they think it's ok now since it's THEIR PARTY doing it. I'm both baffled and disgusted by the way their defense for everything is that "Bush did it too". This is the guy they called the worst president ever and now they want Obama to emulate him.

This really is the biggest chance any third party has ever had to emerge. I really hope to see libertarians make a dent in the two party rule. People from third parties really need to get a big leader to say "We can end this crap!". Either way I have no doubt that the Democrats will lose seats in the next election. The question is, will third parties gain seats instead of republicans?

There is one problem with your argument, Democrats only did what they were elected to do, Republicans did what they were not elected to do. It is not the elected that is at fault but the electorate. It is no secret that Democrats believe that property does not belong to the individual but to the collective, but when Republicans started treating property, which does include money, like the Democrats the jig was up. A third party is fine if it can do better than third place. Winning is the only thing that matters during an election, coming second just means you were the first to lose. I am a member of a third party the U.S Libertarian party which our Presidential candidate Bob Barr got 0.4% of the vote. Yeah I would love it if Libertarians were the majority of the House, Senate, and The President, but we would have to have more than 0.4% of the vote to accomplish that.

Unfortuneatly lil, the problem is that most democrats will stay loyal to that stupid little letter "d" no matter what they do. We have already seen Obama and congress continue the same policies Bush used to wreck the country and constitution, the same things the Democrats RAILED against with him, in addiditon to a whole host of constitutional crimes of their own, and still they cling patheticly to that party.
It is curious however, I have seen few defending alot of this stuff and have seen almost NOTHING in the way of threads praising them, despite the lack of critisism from them, who knows, maybe there's hope, give em time and maybe they will eventualy wake up. I just hope it happens befoer the next round of elections.

All of the above. Give the third party the presidency & split the congress & senate equally. Plus make it easier for them to be removed from office if they get corrupt. We need true checks & balances.
