I accept as self-evident that the Democratic Party is a capitalist party and beholden to corporate interests. But the Democratic Party is hardly the only danger here and no one has provided a good argument as to why voting for a Democrat causes the same dangers as does becoming one of their spokespeople. http://www.wpunj.edu/newpol/issue37/Shalom37.htm      Political parties and leaders.

In 1992, Peg Luksik put it well, "We have one party - two names." Principles seem to mean little to the professional politicians who ignore their oath of office to uphold the Constitution of their states and the United States. Therefore, the Constitutional Party was formed to provide the people of Pennsylvania with a real political avenue to make their vote count, to provide a political expression of their beliefs and values in elections and in implementing public policy; thereby better serving the purpose of government. Four years ago, in Canada, Prime Minister Mulrooney's governing party was not only voted out of office, but reduced to two members in the Canadian Parliament, replaced by an entirely new "third" party, which swept to power. http://www.constitutional.net/Luksik/why_third.html   (1197 words)      NOW with Bill Moyers.

The reason for this has been the focus more on what parties can offer the voter and the mudslinging that has taken place between opposition parties, most notably between the Democratic Alliance (DA), Independent Democrats (ID) and the New National Party (NNP).
