Reply #7: It sounds to me as though you are saying

that there is no difference between Bush/Republicans and Democrats.

If that is the case, it follows logically that you are enabling Bush's policies.

The only thing standing between the U.S. as a democracy and as a fascist state is the knowledge that if people wake up and vote enough Dems into Congress, then the Dems will have a majority and can hold hearings on the many illegal things that Bush has done.

Right now the Repubs are in the majority and can prevent hearings that would hold Bush accountable. If people decide that they will not get involved in politics because they don't trust any politician, then Bush and his ilk will have no opponents.

It would be a huge favor to democracy if everyone on DU concentrated on positve ways to save our country.
