I am not sure that the Democrats are the real and only problem Mike. They certainly are part of the problem, and are a vital part of the MIC that is devouring America and the rest of the world. Without this important cog, the war wheel of America couldn't function..........so yes they are central to the current mess America is in, but they are not the only problem.
Essentially the Democratic party is a tool and vehicle for a certain elite who 'use it' for their agenda's. Disband and take this tool way, and all that will happen is that the elite of America will find another vehicle to pursue their agenda's.
In that sense given the power of the real masters of the Democratic party it cannot be fixed. It can never be made to follow the true wishes of ordinary Americans. There is no hope for the Democratic party, and there never was.
1) The real question is, at what point sufficient number of Americans become antagonized with the 'American democratic system' and rebel against it meaningfully---significantly. What triggers it.
2) What do the majority do to articulate their will meaningfully (organizationally), after realizing that the two party system of America is a sham.......an elaborate hoax that is rapidly losing its credibility with ordinary Americans who cognitively recognize the reality of living in America.........contrasted with what the politicians are telling them.
3) How the elite reacts to suppress the will of the majority of Americans. The facts show that the elite will not simply roll over and surrender---------they have money, power, security......and the world is a big place........they can simply leave America if the situation gets too hot for them. They don't mean to change course, which is suitable for the average American. Instead it is a continuation of the same policies and bright ideas....there are no real 'Grand Canyon' differences between the two parties on most substantive issues....but that is something which you should have noticed by now. They mean to stick to their policies and sell them in as many different ways as they can, like any carpet bagger salesman, with third rate wares.
When the tipping point of tolerance goes South from the majority, then there is always the fall back of instituting a full security police state al a comrade Kim. The laws, and the state mechanisms have been built up gradually from the Clinton administration........reaching a crescendo under Bush, but of course these things were planned decades ago.
The secret gulags in America that can hold upwards of 20 million people; the vast security structure; the intrusive prodding of ordinary Americans in their everyday lives.....the militarization of the society...........the super bowl security spectacle........the color coded alerts......war..war and more war. Are these government actions to protect Americans or to control them?
As an individual who has a personal understanding of these things................more than the average person........then I must tell you that all this security spectacle has very little to do with protecting America from a Phantom organization run by the West, 'al-Qaeda' and its long dead leader. In fact this is all about controlling Americans when they get really troublesome.........and when ordinary Americans don't buy the repetition of the hoax of 1929 which was artificially instituted back then. When the rage fly's. When ordinary Americans realize they have been had by a bunch of smooth, 'talking points', super criminals......Americans then won't be like the savings and loans victims of the early eighties........or the embarrassed hapless victims of the early 1930's...it will be different.
You have pure unadulterated criminals running your country, and I don't mean by that George, Hilary or the other leading politicians. These are after all mere fronts. The behavior of your armed forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, and I assume they take their orders from higher ups, were and are pure criminal. Only a bunch of perverse crooks could behave this way towards two consecutive nations. Add to that the false flag of 9/11 the pivotal point of all this......then America and its ordinary people have serious problem of a dangerous criminal class running the country and Americans are at their mercy.......and the Soviet style laws....the secret gulags........and the particular types of seriously shady people with questionable back grounds manning the key departments......where all this is going does not bode well for the future, for ordinary Americans.
In that sense your arguments about the Democrats is a little esoteric, in the full context of what I am taking about.......The Democrats were and are part of an illusion, a grand illusion. Thats why 60% of Americans who could theoretically vote don't (includes 22% unregistered)-----only 40% of Americans vote in Presidential elections........is that a democracy? Vast majority of Americans refuse to participate in the charade of American Presidential elections.
This is why the approval rating for Congress recently is around 9%, worse than Bushes approval rating of around 27%, and sliding daily. And this is why these Congress people held a secret closed door meeting in March 2008 to talk about the collapse of the American economy, because of their misrule, and what are the likely consequences..........and how to manage the average American when it all goes pear shaped.
This is not to say that these beings are all powerful, or even know what they are doing.............a lot of them are quite stupid.....in the normal sense.......and unimpressive individuals and humans who through their families........invariably involving criminal activity, now, half a decade ago or even a century ago became very rich...and powerful.
Criminals, even super criminals invariably for some reason are poor managers of nations since their minds are preoccupied with 'other' things. Then you have America, which is the richest, and possibly the most sophisticated nation on earth...........managing such a state for such criminal elements for eternity will be extremely difficult......and there lies the hope. The middle class of America that is decent and righteous must boycott the mainstream parties, and must find their own avenue of expressing their political will, with the help of the working class.
People with integrity that will remain stead fast to the true cause and not switch because they have been groped by AIPAC with a few shekels, amd mesmerized by the illusion of their power.

20/07/08 "ICH" -- -- Obama's candidacy is over; kaput. He's already stated that he has no intention of stopping the war, so he has disqualified himself. That's his prerogative; no one put a gun to his head. His op-ed in Monday's New York Times just removes any lingering doubt about the matter. What Obama proposes is moving the central theater of operation from Iraq to Afghanistan. Big deal. Why is it more acceptable to kill a man who is fighting for his country in Afghanistan than in Iraq?
It's not; which is why Obama must be defeated and the equivocating Democratic Party must be jettisoned altogether. The Democrats are a party of blood just like the Republicans, they're just more discreet about it. That's why people who are serious about ending the war have to support candidates outside the two-party charade. The Democrat/Republican duopoly will not deliver the goods; it's as simple as that. The point is to stop the killing, not to provide blind support for smooth-talking politicos who try to mask their real intentions. Obama made his choice, now he can suffer the consequences.
Nancy Pelosi is a perfect example of what the Democrats are all about. Just look at the way she brushed aside the people who got her elected. They mean nothing to her. In a matter of months, the "San Francisco liberal" has achieved what former-Speaker of the House Hastert could only dream of; she's driven the Congress' public approval ratings into single digits for the first time in history making her the worst speaker of all time. She rubber-stamped the FISA bill, concealed what she knew about the CIA's global torture programs, and vowed to stop any public effort to hold the administration accountable for its war crimes. (No impeachment) She has betrayed her most ardent supporters and singlehandedly transformed an already-emasculated congress into a purely ceremonial body incapable of doing the people's work.
At least Bush never betrayed any of his supporters. Never. Pelosi is worse than Bush, much worse.
And yet, liberals still insist that we should vote the Democratic ticket. In your dreams!
What leftist or progressive is not totally fed-up with the Democrats cagey "bait-and-switch" hypocrisy? Voting the Democratic ticket is not a sign of "hope"; it's a sign of being a schmuck. The Democrats have done nothing to stop the war and will do nothing to stop the war. The Obama candidacy is merely a way to replace one group of genocidal maniacs with another. Who needs a charismatic, flannel-mouth glamor boy to lead us into battle when a senile fogy with "anger management" issues will do just fine.
Voters of conscience should reject that choice altogether. Just as they should reject the "lesser of two evils" theory which does not apply when ordinance is being dumped daily on innocent civilians. It has to stop.
Obama is not an antiwar candidate, that is merely a fiction maintained by his public relations team. In fact, he wants to beef up the military with 65,000 additional ground forces and 27,000 more marines. He's also stated that he will add “two additional combat brigades to Afghanistan” and encourage NATO to make “greater contributions—with fewer restrictions”. In his op-ed he boasted, "As president, I will make the fight against Al Qaeda and the Taliban the top priority that it should be. This is a war that we have to win.”
He also added this ominous warning:
“The greatest threat to that security lies in the tribal regions of Pakistan, where terrorists train and insurgents strike into Afghanistan. We cannot tolerate a terrorist sanctuary, and as president, I won’t. We need a stronger and sustained partnership between Afghanistan, Pakistan and NATO to secure the border, to take out terrorist camps and to crack down on cross-border insurgents. We need more troops, more helicopters, more satellites, more Predator drones in the Afghan border region. And we must make it clear that if Pakistan cannot or will not act, we will take out high-level terrorist targets like bin Laden if we have them in our sights.”
OBAMA; THE CANDIDATE FOR ESCALATION
Obama supporters should take their candidate at his word. What he is proposing is a dramatic escalation and expansion of the war into another sovereign country. How is this consistent with the demands of his base or the millions of Americans who believe that Obama represents real change.
It's time for a reality check; the Democrats are the real problem not the Republicans. If the path to peace requires crushing the Democratic Party and its blood-thirsty candidates; so be it. The main thing is to stop the killing. If Obama won't do it; we'll find someone who will?
