Democrats and Republicans are going to feud over abortion rights and inflation, respectively, in the coming presidential election. They might not be the most important issues we face, but they’re the ones the politicians will be talking about.

The Democrats performance on their “biggest issue” tells you all you need to know about them:
either total feckless fools or treacherous, manipulative frauds.
The tragedy is that 81 million Americans officially support their chronic political abusers.
Ted, the “debate” isn’t about “abortion.” The “debate” is about constantly draining donations from the gullible under the scheme of “working hard to fight to maintain your access to abortion.” Although Falco and I disagree on how nonexistent mercury that hasn’t been in vaccines for 20 years can not only cause autism but cause the rates of autism to increase, on the issue of what the dems think about abortion, we seem to be in agreement: the dems use this issue to line their pockets and would be out of their minds to finally resolve it via amendment or any other genuine legislative protection. The Republicans, of course, use it too for the same reasons: to line their pockets as well.
I have been saying for the some time now that America has only one party – the property party. It’s the party of big corporation, the party of money. It has two right wings; one is Democrat and the other is Republican. – Gore Vidal
So why waste time and bandwidth on differences of no real interest?
