Democrats and Republicans are easy to understand; you just need to know how the system works.
The Obnoxious American, in a recent article, Democrats: I Just Don't Understand expressed bewilderment over the things that Democrats say and do and claimed not to understand them. Personally, I think that Obnoxious probably does, but is just too polite and sensitive to say so. There is, doubtless, comparable bewilderment over the things that Republicans say and do.

Flivius: "Move along. I don't like the look of these guys. Head for the forest."

One of the points I should have made in the article is free trade. It is an important topic, and one being watched with interest in foreign countries, including of course Colombia and Panama.

It is interesting, because it shows substantial awareness of what is going on in U.S. politics, and points out the stupidity (a word I rarely use) of it.

Sorry about that, but it is an interesting article and one well worth reading.
