"Electability"? hipnessmolecule May 16 2006, 00:05:39 UTC

Is "electability" a word? If it is, did I spell it right? It doesn't quite look right.

"Electibility"? That resembles "electric hillbilly".

"one of the ways that corporate America got smarter was that they began to understand that there was value to them in infiltrating the Democratic Party.

We used to have one big business party and now we have one and a third - or one and a quarter - and that quarter is really integral to what's allowed the hostile takeover to move towards completion - or at least to intensify."

Actually, it could be fun if some anarchists comandeer about 1/5 of the Republican party. They would show up in Brooks Brothers suits at some convention, then rip them off to reveal their black outfits.

We could end up in the long run with a new 2-party system - Greens vs. Anarchists. Instead of money, our national currency might be organic produce, backed by golden eggs in Ft. Knox.
