Not only...

Its not only the Republican party which is the issue. Looking at it in another way, there are many “elephants in the room”. Perhaps you would like to name some.......

The 10,000’s of iatrogenic deaths and iatrogenic illnesses caused by the health system http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,23361022-29277,00.html

The unsustainable nature of the health system

The abrogation of responsibility by the public service sactor

The self-serving righteousness of the judicial system

The failure of the education system......
