Dem vs Rep is a false system. Once you internalize that, everything else makes sense. Ted Kennedy and GWBush on the same side of larger govt. It is all about the federal govt growing even larger. And one of the ways the Bureaucracy has brought this into the present is by allowing liberals to take over the Rep party. The EVIDENCE is that 'big govt' people are running the Rep party. Forget the Fox news network and the press releases from the politicians, look at their voting records. EVERYTHING is about federal expansion. The are taking over every aspect of your life...full speed ahead on both the Dem and Rep sides of the aisle. It is a rush to tyranny, while people debate conservative vs liberal. There is only command-and-control now. A handful issue orders, the rest follow. LOOK at the Homeland and Patriot legislation. Light goes red, ALL must do this and that. In America. Not even the Soviet Union had the guts to put that crap on paper. And in the US, BOTH parties are in on this, and the 'neo-cons' are just big-govt people from the old Soviet mold. Replacing these people with Democrats won't help. Hillary Clinton has already said the problem with the Homeland Security business is that it's not 'controlled' enough. So she would just exacerbate the problem. Wake up, folks. The Dem vs Rep 'fight' is false. It is a way of making you THINK you have some say in things. But what you actually have is a military pro-consul by the name of Ralph Eberhart who held the NORAD interceptor jets on the ground Sept 11 and was then promoted to military pro-consul (dictator) of North America, with an unelected 'president' doing photo op after photo op among the troops, just like Hussein and Kim Jung Il (dictators), and you have news shows jumping from a spot about a skiing dog to the 'debate' between the candidates. Buy guns.
