Which is why we desperately need a third political party in the U.S..
IMHO,
"my" Republican Party -- the "Alex Keaton Conservtive Party" of the
1980s--
has withered and died under the acidic influence of the Religious Right.

Worse, Republicans are no longer fiscally conservative by any stretch of
the
imagination.

So it seems. It is looking more and more that they are a single issue
(religion) party. I was reading recently how stock markets always do
better
under DEMOCRATIC administrations.

When the stock market crash in 1929 (from 287), how long (under Democratic
administrations) did it take to reacquire that 1929 level? How long until it
achieved the level adjusted for inflation?
