Boone, I don't mind disclosing that I am pretty much a Republican. I guess its pretty obvious. However, I would not wish for the demise of the Democratic party. That would scare me to death. As much as I disagree with about 95% of everything they stand for, I realize we need that contrasting point of view. Without them, I'm afraid this country would go further right than most of us conservatives would want. By the same token, I don't think most democrats would really want the demise of the Republican party, as this would almost surely result in a very socialist society. I don't think even Ted Kennedy wants that (although it seems like it at times).
So, I really think the two party system works. The only thing that bothers me is some of the disrespectful, abrasive criticizm coming from the Dems side right now. I know the Repubs did it to some extent while Clinton was the POTUS, but I don't think it was the leadership that was doing it, as it is for the dems right now.
Either way, I'm glad you democrats are here even though I disagree with you on some issues.
