One Big Party, And We the People Aren't Invited

Well, Congress is on vacation. This new Congress seems to be anything but "new." The democrats promised radical change and staunch opposition to the Bush regime, when the majority changed from right to left, and yet here we sit, nearly a year after the big "shake up" election. I'm literally amazed at just how much Bush policy continues to pass through the House and Senate, with the GOP in the minority, and supposedly some GOP moving away from Bush doctrine. Why couldn't the democrats be so powerful when they were the minority? And why are they still so impotent, now that they are the majority? I am truly, now convinced with this latest legislation before the "big break" that political parties are just for show. Let's face it; the politicians are going to do what is best for the politicians. The ones that were elected in 2006 have a considerable amount of time before they have to worry themselves with rallying votes again. We already know that 2008 is not about electing someone that truly will be a good leader, it's about voting against the "party" of non-choice. Hillary is the leading democrat right now and she openly admitted to taking big corprate money, and we already know what Clinton policy did to the unions with NAFTA, before Bill was reelected. Obama is 'promising' fresh and new, but it was clearly obvious at the national convention in 2004, before he was even elected to Senate, that the groundwork for his political career was in place. It just seems, that new faces, new names, and the 'opposing' parties continue to utilize the same methods and produce the same results. More war, more laws, more government spending, more party talk, with fewer rights, less representation, and empty promises from both sides of the political aisle.
