Our government is no longer by the people nor for the people. The two major parties are in control.
While I have been critical of Bush at this blog, I am anything but a Kerry fan. Many of the GOP criticisms of Kerry are spot on. He has, in fact, had difficulty stating a clear opinion and sticking to it.
It seems to me that we have reached a point where the parties, rather than voters, pick the nominees. As soon as McCain gained traction four years ago, he was squashed after the GOP machine aligned behind Bush. The same happened to Dean this year.
The result is that we get to choose between two muppets to be our President.
