Politics, War, and 2008

I've been reading the various perspectives of just who will do what about what the other party has done. Here is my perspective. It isn't in great detail yet, and perhaps it will never need to be, but here it is. Political parties are just theatre here in America. In the past fifty years, the appointments to the Supreme Court have primarily been made by "conservative" presidents, each party has had their opportunity at being the majority in Congress, and we have had more republican years than democrat years in the White House in my life, and frankly the conservatives don't seem any more moral or forthright than those at whom they would cast stones. The democrats, by the same token do not appear to be the bleeding hearts they would like we the taxpaying people to be. I haven't read any great headlines about Hillary using that cattle future "windfall" on health care for underprivileged kids, and I don't think the Edwards are talking about poverty from a personal "give til it hurts" perspective. And I'll start buying pricy flourescent light bulbs when Al parks the Escalade. See, just theatre! But while we are watching the puppet show and the circus, the real power lies in the corporate money and amazingly most of the first Bush cabinet are now serving on some pretty interesting boards! I'm suggesting that we will have a democrat elected in 2008 for three reasons. 1. The money really rules this country and by in large most of Wall Streets major investors lean to the right. 2. There is no exit for this war, so it will have to continue and probably, the way the leadership is talking, will be intesified rather than reduced, so . . . no one in their right mind would enlist. That's right, we'll be needing a draft, and the republicans would be pretty sharp to step back and let the dems have credit for that fiasco. and 3. Historically, any president who walks into or assumes the post through a major mess, is a one termer, and the previous party is ushered back in.
I've found it interesting for a few months, that the campaign began so early, and there is virtually no electable republican, even running. Are the democrats are so desirous of the pompous prestige, they do not realize the other party has stepped back?
