Then why do you keep putting the Democrats into the same bucket as the Republicans?

Yes, some politicians in both parties are susceptible to bribery, but with the Democrats, their traditional position has been with the working man and ordinary folks in general. The Republicans for the past century have been with the wealthy, and essentially disregard the welfare of the "common man" in favor of the "upper class."

The ups and downs of the economy and the employment rates give a clear reflection of which party is in office at the time the fluctuations are initiated.

This constant harping of yours that they are just Tweedledum and Tweedledee is as if you're trying to convince people not to bother campaigning or voting because it won't make any difference.

It smacks of that "colorless neutrality" that Dante was talking about.

If anyone thinks that there is no difference between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama, then they've got to be abyssmally ignorant or several McNuggets short of a Happy Meal!

Give the pronouncements and sermons from the mountaintop a rest, Little Hawk.
