      <![CDATA[Additionally, the two poles in modern political discourse appear to be characterized as supporting the 'big family' versus supporting the 'rugged individual.' One can extrapolate further by sussing out maternal vs. paternal approaches to problems.

      <![CDATA[Modern issues will always have at least two positions, i.e., 'for' and 'against.' Political discourse will tend to be 'bipolar' in terms of perspective. It's as natural as the magnetic force. There will be a 'conservative' as well as a 'progressive' position on modern issues. Neither major party will die. You cannot abolish the North Pole.

      <![CDATA[Today's Democrat Party is represented by an alliance between the technocrats and the bureaucracy.    The positions of leadership are mostly held by upper middle class white males in their late 30s and 40s but somehow every 2 years they convince everyone else that it is in their best interests to vote for them because otherwise they might not get anything from "evil Republicans".   It always ends up being one for you, 20 for them...and things never change.   The iPhone & Jetta crowd figured out how to keep the light rail and urban density gravy train going for another 4 years while you walk around wondering...did they save anything for me...?<br />
