Here's the summary:
The Republicans (Right-wing) want to help the rich, but screw the poor and middle class
The Democrats (Theoretically left-wing, but really center-right these days) want to help the poor, but screw the rich and middle class (Except themselves).
Both sides are bought and paid for by large corporations.
Both sides want to screw the middle class.
Both sides will say whatever it takes to get re-elected.
Both sides are hypocrites and liars.
Some of the American people have been completely brainwashed by one party or the other
Some of the American people are so sick of it or so apathetic that they won't vote at all
Some of the American people will go through all of the issues for each choice and pick the best candidate (In their opinion)
Some of the American people have no idea what's going on, so will just vote for whoever their religious leader, family member, or friend tells them is better.
The media will consistently and accurately report the current viewpoint of that last category.
This situation will continue until we reform the electoral system so third-party candidates are actually feasible.

I got my ass handed to me Saturday night doing improv. Had a horrible performance, bombed, sucked, etc. I feel bad for the group that invited us to open. They chose us because they thought we were good, did not live up to that.
I'm getting back up Tuesday at a bar, though.

Actually, most of us don't give a bugger what you do over there in Disneyworld. The real world keeps us too busy to bother.
