[QUOTE]Originally posted by George Harris: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [qb] Mr. Helfner, your immediate remark of the "Uniparty" reminded me of an Economics professor I had at University of Illinois, where he often said "who do you want; tweedledum or tweedledee". :p [/qb][/QUOTE]That was much my father's viewpoint when I was young. Both parties at the time (1950's and before) were a mish mash of conservatives and liberals with flavorings off both extremes and some middle grounders. His viewpoint was that we needed something more on the order of the Liberal and Conservative Parties as in Britian. With that, clear choices could be made that would get the attention of the government. As it was, in the South at least up till that time we voted Democrat because in the 1860's those that shot at us and then robbed everything that wasn't nailed down for 10 to 20 years thereafter all identified as Republican. This was done despite it meant voting for some truly sleazy characters and a political party being taken over by leftists in the rest of the country because in congress seniority meant everything much more than now. (Gets back to, Why did I not like Al Gore Jr.? Even without disagreeing with much of what he has done and his absolute hypocrisy concerning things environmental, it was because I knew well about the activities of Daddy Gore.) At least by now we have begun to get more to a Conservative and a Liberal party. [/QB][/QUOTE]
