Ending "One Party Rule" should be a consistent meme thru 2006.
The nation and her resources have been wrecked by the criminals currently in control of all branches of our governent. Every single shameful failure can be laid at the feet of those in charge.

This is something even a faux news viewer can wrap his/her/its head around.

Its simple. Its short. Its true.

I think it should have been pounded relentlessly in 04, and should damn well be our signature meme from now to the 06 midterms.

What you see is what you get with one party rule. We're a better nation than this. End one party rule.

Just a thought.

2. I'm for that.. And let's end a One Party System while we're at it Ok?
abolish Electoral College - it almost happened in the Senate before, we can push have this a major elections reform, at the same time we get the paper ballots through.

Implement IRV - and we'll have a real democracy in this country instead of the oligarchy that has been in control for too long.

6. End shadow government
Seriously, how many times do the Repugs have to get caught locking the Constitution in the closet before voters realize that they're going to do that EVERY chance they get? Responsible adult supervision is the only answer.

9. End the One Party System by getting a real Democratic opposition
It's a good slogan. But The problem is not only the Republican stranglehold. Unless the Democrats stop being part of the One Corporate Party, we'll continue to have a One-and-a-Half Party Sysdtem, no matter which side wins.

The real porioblem is the lack of real alternatives offered by the Democrats. Thst's how the the GOP got that stranglehold in the first place. The Democrats have made a One-and-a- Half party system for too long, by going along with the core positions and worldview of the Republicans and the corporate elite.
