I'm a sophomore in college, which means I'm fairly new to having any sort of political awareness..
Do people always complain this much about how messed up the system is and how we're all going to be sucked into a giant gaping whirlpin in the Gulf of Mexico, filled with rife and Republicans? Or is this new, as of the 2000 elections?

The only thing that's changed, dear Ms. AardvarkLady, is that the Republicans have won it all this time.
Abraham Lincoln
Oh wait, they won it all last election too until that Jeffords turned "independent". Nevermind.
Abraham Lincoln
So, Ms. Aardvark, I'm afraid the only thing that has changed is the calendar.
Alexander Hamilton
I don't know about the late 1800s or the 1900s, but in my day politics was a reserved and thoughtful business, conducted by gentlemen. We didn't let our emotions get the better of us.
Thomas Jefferson
You were shot! By the vice president, no less.
Alexander Hamilton
Yes, well, you didn't hear me bellyaching about it afterwards.
