many ways for years now they are irrelevant. From not respecting states rights to govern themselves, to Bush taking us to war without Congressional approval, Clinton did the same thing with the cruise missiles, The Patriot Act etc etc. Make no mistake I have no dog in the left or right corner they are all evil corrupt bastards as far as I am concerned. I do think the Republicans are generally worse though. Except Ron Paul, he is an honorable man. He likes that religious crap but the way he handles that issue is fine by me.
