Democrats / Republicans .... if you peel away the brand and outside packaging you'd notice that they are pretty well the same .... it's the brand and packaging what people go for .... You are correct LH in that the corporate/military oligarchy controls both ... they play one brand (style as you call it) against the other, but in the end they call the shots.

Look at what the Democrats have done in the last 4 years, the Republicans would have probably and more than likely passed the same laws especially ones such as the FAA Reauthorization Act, and National Defense Authorization Act ... In regards to the environment there definitely is no difference between the 2 parties e.g. giving the ok to offshore drilling, giving the ok for a new Nuclear Energy power plant .... the Dems and republicans are in the same bed with Wall Street. The division between the rich and poor is widening and regarding the military, there is no difference at all, the wars and war propaganda continues.

There is no difference except style and brand and those who wear the label on their shirts ... the shirts are the same. They are both made off shore in sweat shops.

Well kids .... that's my late nite banter here on the madcat ... and until a new day begins I bid you all adieu
