		<description><![CDATA[I hear Repubs complain all the time. As a Dem I&#039;m not complaining and see no need for another party.

Repubs complain all of the time because they are in a coalition with groups they don&#039;t like, but need to win elections - and when they lose they blame the other wing of the party. It&#039;s usually the &quot;fiscal&quot; v.s. the &quot;social&quot; cons that duke it out.

There already are plenty of other parties - the Libertarians, Greens and Constitution come to mind - but Repubs won&#039;t join them because they know they can&#039;t win elections that way.]]></description>
