Why do people have a hard time excepting that there is no difference between the two parties?

800 Billion, and you are correct.

Well there's a difference, but both have indeed been steering us in the same direction.

Democrats are focused solely on power. They want to force socialist type policies onto us in order to make use dependent on the government. That leaves us slaves to the government which gives them all the power.

Republicans are focused on money. It wouldn't be such a problem except that lately they can't seem to stop spending and spending leaving little money to handle the existing programs.

The catch is that neither is a true representative of their party. The parties don't stand for what they used to back when they worked for the people years ago. There was a time when both parties understood the importance of the Constitution and where the federal government's role ended.

I am a Conservative.

I can only hope Republicans go back to their Conservative roots and reign in their out of control spending. Lower taxes. Strong military. No abortion. No gay marriage. Less restriction on business.

None of these things is even remotely considered by Democrats.

So I do not think both parties are the same. Republicans, to me, are by far the lesser of two evils.

I don't think most people are missing the point that both parties have become fiscally irresponsible. I think there's a huge desire shared by many for the conservatives to return to core conservative policies. The problem hasn't gone unrecognized.

Because their ideologies are fundamentally different, and they are quite different.

However, globalist are present in both trying to force their agenda through.

People who see this reality, may view them as the same.

They quite possibly all have the same intentions I fear.
