I hate being a registered Democrat because they’re a bunch of corrupt, pork-fed criminals who say one thing and do another.  But Republicans are a bunch of corrupt, pork-fed criminals who say one thing and do another and are even more difficult to identify with.

Sometimes I take stock and see whether I am, in fact, identifying with the Democrats more than the Republicans.  After all, they’re basically the same.  As Belloq said to Indiana Jones: “Our methods have not differed as much as you pretend. I am but a shadowy reflection of you. It would take only a nudge to make you like me, to push you out of the light.”

Can’t most substantive political points be made by quoting Raiders of the Lost Ark?  If you said “no,” back to debate class with you.  You have much to learn.

Anyway, in regards to determining whether I still align a bit more with the left wing, all I have to do is look at the news and evaluate the most recent scandals that have engulfed past and present administrations.

- Democrats: Committed perjury and general wrongdoing because they really wanted to have sex with a young intern.

- Republicans: Committed perjury and general wrongdoing because they really wanted to start a war in Iraq.

Yup.  Still identifying just a bit more with the Democrats.
