to call this nothing is silly. what it shows clearly is a lack of decorum on the part of both major parties. democrats like to kill kids in yemen, and talk about civil rights in the united states. it is almost more vulgar than the republicans, who openly state their desire to utilize the american military for resource and wealth building (for a sliver of a minority of the general population, many of whom are not us citizens to begin with) and call anyone who doesn't support it un-american, even if it is un-affordable, untenable and unsustainable. these two parties are so reduced in their comprehension and reasoning abilities that they confuse academic initials for actual intelligence. most americans do not want military bases scattered throughout the entire world. most americans don't want a trillion dollars spent on military...the near 700 billion resolution is going to a group that has 2.25 million members - less than one percent of the population, in it. they are taking the money and burning it, along with the bodies of their victims, and you are saying that one party's clandestine activity is worse or better than the other. they are the same, where it matters to the world, on foreign policy. violent, bloody thieves. fortunately they are both exposed through these activities, and perhaps enough people will realize this that they can simply give way to independent representatives. if a musician can make a gold record without a recording company, because that is the digital age in which we live, it can't be much longer before a person with a good platform can be elected without a party...unless of course companies are able to throttle information accessible through the internet. but that could never happen could it.......?
