You're right. So how come you keep throwing "Kerry & Kennedy" in our faces at every turn?
Because they're my local NE guys and the media (all of it) focuses on them as significant leaders and icons of the Democratic party. Were I in CA, it would be Pelosi, Kerry and Boxer 24/7.
Can we agree on one thing?: America would be better off if we could break the grip on political power of the two major parties.
Yes, but I'm not holding my breath. On the left, a Green party would be even more extreme than the DNC installing autocratic and expensive "rules". On the far right, a religious fundy party would be a danger to freedom. And my friends the libertarians are too doctrinaire and nutty even though I share some of their opinions. Maybe I'm too pessimistic as I have voted for 3rd party candidates Eugene McCarthy, John Andersen and Ross Perot (only the 1st time, thankfully - Clintonistas can thank me for that vote) and don't see a viable alternative.
