A malfunctioning two-party system

Time to Get Real About the ACORN "Controversy"--and Republican Double Standards

He does make a valid point. What is up with the right wingers being able to get this administration to answer at it's beck (no pun intended) and call every time they throw a hissy fit. It happened with Van Jones, the end-of-life counseling legislation (AKA the not-actually "death panels"), and then ACORN. Pathetic. I mean, I'm not endorsing the George W. Bush "you're with us or you're against us" policy, or the ability of his administration to do whatever the hell it wanted regardless of law or public opinion (or by making up "facts" to sway public opinion), but come on.

We're totally screwed. Having a two-party system where one is a bunch of ineffectual flakes and the other proudly flaunts its ignorance (and sometimes intolerance) leads to the American people being stuck between a rock and a hard place.
