Basically, the new posting needs to point out that neither Republicans nor Democrats are the root of all evil. If I were going to write it, it would probably go like this:</p> <p>If a black gay person votes Republican, or a wealthy white person votes Democrat they probably are doing so for a good reason. If the Republicans appear corrupt and venal, it's probably because they're currently in power. I don't recall thinking too much of Bill Clinton a few years ago. The main problem with politicians is that they're the kind of people who want to have control over other people. Such people are never nice people. So if you find yourself holding your nose when you vote, it's probably because you're voting for a politician.</p>
