I use to watch Thom Hartmann every time without fail. But after seeing what is currently happening Wahington I started to form conclusions for myself. Yes the republicans are dangerous to the future of Americans and I despise them. But is Thom truly not seeing what the Democract's are doing or is he deliberatly choosing to just look the other way?

Thom needs to see that and accept that as I did and as more and more Americans by the day are waking up to that reality.

Another good article by you. But I, as an outside America viewer, still don’t see where is the significant difference between Republicans and Democrats.

The internal struggle, however, as you point out seems to be only between them which one, segment in the society one or another is member of, will be more benefited.
Thank you, and keep the good work!
