I do admit that I got the "rotation" wrong, in that, as of the immediate aftermath of 9/11, I expected the Democrats to go from left-liberalism to national liberalism, and the Republicans to go from conservatism to neoliberalism/libertarianism.
But overall I am very pleased with the results.
I still have no idea how to feel about this. I'd like to choose one, but now your description of both parties made me more conflicted over which one to choose.
Well, let's see: you can choose a candidate with lots of successful experience as a stateswoman, with compassionate policies that help raise people economically and socially, or you can choose a lunatic who might start a war because someone says he's not as rich as he says he is, or reveals that the man behind the curtain is no wizard. And whose policies will leave our climate and our economy in ruins.
