      Jeez!!!! ..this is simply that last episode, where Charlie pleads with our SLAVE_CLASS AMWERICA to "Please destroy all remnants of 2-party systems" in American government and public discourse.

      They should first get themselves a LIFE, ..or maybe two, ..and then maybe have at least one dog or two in this fight, before these continue to spray their non-sensical spittle.

      I don't know, .............

      I can't even remember where this argument got started, or why I am now out of bed .. :(

      It's doggerel alright. But you know, despite appearances, I feel quite certain Mitt is a lot more of a regular guy than most of the politicians, including the victor. Some ppl are just natural actors. In any case, he's certainly no worse than the many New Yorkers and Hollywoodians (or is it Santa Barbarians?) who assemble at this table. Enforcing voter ID laws isn't suppressing voting, but even if the GOP did overstep bounds, is making it possible for, and urging ppl to vote weeks before election day any better? Or using the perks of office to pander to interest groups just before one? Or hiding bad PR from the public until afterwards? Gimme a break.
