The GOP has hard a very hard time getting united, too many of them are cowards, and can't seem to get anything major passed. I lost faith in the Democrats a long time ago, and have since lost faith in Republicans.
I wish we could get a Libertarian in office, but it seems the two major parties have rigged the system. Its hard for them to get into national debates and on the state ballots.
The Democrats took the black vote since Kennedy. When Martin Luther was jailed during the Nixon vs Kennedy presidential race both candidates called him, but Kennedy was able to work out getting him out before Nixon could. Kennedy came out looking like a champ for racial relations, despite the racist Dixiecrats!
