Collusion, perhaps a collusion of incompetence.

It's collusion of corruption. The ones making the moves know exactly what they're doing, and with scary precision. Yeah, Bush is an idiot, but he's a puppet to some overmaster conservative that's really pulling the strings. Maybe it's daddy, I don't really know. Bottome line, the career politicians all have their face in the slop bucket. Regardless whether they are Democrat, Republican, they are politicians first.

I think it is a sarcastic response to the fact that most Americans are just pawns in a political chess game between the Republicans and Democrats in modern times.
[/ QUOTE ] You cannot be implying collusion and at the same time placing (even as a "joke") the two parties at the extreme opposite ends of the political spectrum.

No joke. If Reps and Dems are playing chess, politics is the board and chess pieces. "Right and wrong" is just a political tactic. They are playing just because that's what politicians do. Chess players play chess, poker players play poker, politicians play the political games.
The "implicit collusion" is exactly what I am implying. Why are there only two political parties? Why is government garnering more and more control, benefits, etc, etc for itself. It's a self perpetuating system. It would almost take a nihilist to come in and make things "fair".
As for the commies and fascists joke. It was a joke, but maybe things are getting even worse than I thought such that some people would take this kind of joke seriously!
