8. Agreed. Anyone who was fooled by Reagan wasn't paying attention.

Reagan dems. That was a start of the turning to the right, of the Democratic party. When Reagan poked fun at the word liberal, dem politicians backed away from the word & soon after, the policies, as well. They saw the corporate gravy train & they wanted on the ride. The parties now play good copy/bad cop, only it's morphed into bad cop/insane cop.

I agree with the above poster about getting money out of our electoral process, but I don't know how you get a group of self serving assholes, to pass legislation, that will curtail the very thing that they greatly benefit from. I no longer believe that change will come via the voting booth.
