Why?  We don't live in a parliamentary system; the fact that a party
might espouse certain beliefs doesn't mean diddly if the person in
office doesn't share those beliefs.

No checks bounced.
What's wrong with "druggies"?

As for any of thse things, they describe Republicans just as well as
Democrats, except that Republicans tend to be HUD cheats rather than
welfare cheats.

At least the Democrats claim they're going to unite the country.  Notice
the difference in rhetoric at the conventions.  "There is no 'them,'
there is only 'us.'"  vs  "There's a war for America's soul going on,
and Clinton and Clinton are on the other side."

Too bad we live in a republic.
