Hi Darrell: I sense that you have suffered some perceived persecution or discrimination since you have been in the US. the philosophy of the Democrats is to maintain or acquire power regardless of the method or the cost. They will resort to almost any unscrupulous method to win an election. This includes outright lies, distortions of the truth, redistribution of income, disrespect for the law (if it has a negative effect on a Democrat ...Clinton), and pandering to all minorities and special interest groups in order to buy their votes. These tactics are unethical and should be illegal, but it is the way of the Democratic party. Republican party behaves differently (in any form or shape) from what you described above?!!! The fact is what you just described is exactly how the 2 party systems operate in the U.S. and there is absolutely no difference between the Republicans and Democrats when it comes to lying, cheating and unethical behavior. The only difference is in how often they are exposed and to what extend. For every Republican unethical behavior there is one unethical behavior by the Democrats, and vise versa. You can not possibly say that one party is better than the other when it comes to lying and resorting to almost any unscrupulous method to win an election.The Republicans would love to have a greater minority representation and that might happen some day. members only club . If Abraham Lincoln were alive today he would not call himself a Republican. In contrast if you look at the democratic party and how Clinton has managed to position it in the center, it is very much similar to how the Republican party was back in the good old days when being a Republican meant to be a true American.
