Republican or Democrat?

I just saw a few poll responses, where Americans were asked which party they agreed could handle the economy better: When asked about Republicans, 49% said "yes", 51% said "no; Democrats: 41% said "yes", 59% "no". (Notice that neither party got more than half in the positive support)

Also, when asked which party was responsible for the economic crisis, 61% respond "Republicans".

Now, I am not stating that these are based on FACT - this is merely voter's perception. So don't come on here bashing me about not having facts to back this up, yada, yada. . . or to support my opinion, because this is not my opinion. I am merely stating the perspective of what the average voter feels when asked.

To continue this, most voters HATE the current ads that are negatively attacking the opponent because they are merely attacking; not stating anything that they are going to do if elected. So if all this is so, why is it that people are willing to vote back into office the party they perceive responsible for the mess of this nation to FIX the mess? And they are relying on all of the negative stuff that is being said by the Republicans about the Democrats? I am not asking this question to support Democrats, rather to find out how many people really understand that STUPIDITY (yes - I said it!!) of having 2 major parties, and people being unhappy with BOTH of them, putting one party in when the other pisses us off!

Aren't those negative ads comparable to Jason Vorhees (Friday the 13th killer) coming out and arguing what a mass killer Michael Meyers (Halloween's killer) is, defending the job that he would do as the protector of the neighborhood??

Doesn't it seem senseless to vote one party out and put in the party that you previously voted out for the same damn reasons?? I am not getting it. I think that too many voters are a bit mentally unbalanced and not thinking very rationally. In the end, the person elected is NOT going to do anything that will help this nation, rather they are going to vote what their party officials/leaders tell them to, and where the money is. And then in the end, we have merely put in another individual that is EXACTLY like the one that we voted out of office for the same damn thing. And the process will repeat over and over again. . .

Definition of insanity is doing the very same actions over and over again and expecting a different result. Aren't the actions of us voters the example of this statement?
