^ you know, I'd have to agree with that.^ Both parties have so much corruption, it's ridiculous.

Biggest problem is there are no choices on political parties, and the "two party hegemony" you write about NuWaveRx is really just the two factions that split from the one party system we had since the formation of our country.

As much as I dislike Blair with going back on his election promises and being Bush's arselicker, I do have a begrudging respect for his political nous with the way he was amongst the first to have an audience with Obama.

As for Brown, he's just waiting for the feelgood factor to return so he can call a general election, might be some time Gordon..

that's so damned true & because of that the election system in the u.s. must be changed to give other candidates a much fairer chance , but guess who doesn't want this - right , "the big 2" : republicans & democrats ! [}:)]

so it stays the "same as it ever was ..." *sigh*

How about someone who actually accomplished something in life without having had everything handed to him or her? Like Bill Gates? Or Mark Cuban?

The problem is that the people who would do the best job in the position have too much going for them to ever consider taking it.
