Party politics are DEAD, people!! Republicans and Democrats no longer represent opposing or conflicting ideologies for the common good, they represent one common entity: THE RICH AND THE ELITE. Period.
At a meeting of journalists around the country (can't remember the name of it), Lou Dobbs was telling everyone to become Independent rather than continuing on as Dems or Repubs. The meeting was on CSPAN right after the vote on the immigration shamesty bill.

I didn't quite understand Lou's message but I do now.
