Deja, wake up. The "parties" are run by the same people.....the ones who OWN and CONTROL most everything. "Political parties" were created to keep the populace divided, constantly accusing and pointing fingers at the "other side", while those pulling their strings smile knowingly at each other...

I'm going to assume that there is no hope of you producing a citation for an opinion like this, nor a rational argument to support it.

Both major parties was to control the American People, they just want to do it in different ways. The Republicans want to control people socially, while the Democrats want to control people economically.

Obamacare is a good example of how one party can come up with an idea and appear in opposition to that same idea when the other party chooses to use it. Specifically, I'm referring to the Heritage Foundation's mandate that all individuals be required to carry health insurance or pay a penalty.

Looks as if many people do straight party voting. If not how did this guy get 265k votes?

Tired of Tom Coburn?


Maybe that was it I could not figure it out. He stated he liked to do his interviews by mail. ha. I have always thought this guy was a homeless bum, I see him on the corner's around town holding signs at first I thought he was asking for money but no just a vote.

I've often wondered why people don't see that point. How can the repubs spend years touting this idea but as soon as a democrat president moves forward with the idea it instantly becomes "socialist". Confusing......

I've heard some, including some here, try to reconcile it with "they learned from their mistake."

Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it. I sincerely hope they have, but I really doubt it considering the people in power now are basically the same people in power throughout much of the previous 10 years. Last week on TV I saw one of the republican senators (can't remember which one) saying that we needed to go back to the same policies when Bush was president. I was dumbfounded.:pissed:

And since the latest republican plan laid out by their "young guns" (Eric Cantor) basically just mimics the same thing they have been doing for years. You can officially call me skeptical. Gawd I hope I'm wrong.

This thread has me wondering: If Brittany Novotny had been in the R party, and you voted a 'straight ticket', would "she" have still gotten your vote?

With very few exceptions they vote along party lines. Why would a Republican vote for a "conservative" Democrat only to find that he will side with his party and not with the conservatives. If Brittany can keep the other side from taking control, I'd rather vote for her instead of a "good" Democrat that will empower the Democrats.
