    I AGREE THAT REPUBLICANS AND DEMS HAVE BECOME ALMOST ONE AND THE SAME, EXCEPT THAT WHAT ONE WANTS THE OTHER DISAGREES WITH AND THEN VICE VERSA WHEN THEY SWITCH IDEAS.. ALL CRAP.

    TEA PARTY A BIT OF AN EXCEPTION, NOW, BUT AM SURE THEY WILL BE SWALLOWED UP IN THE RHETORIC EVENTUALLY TOO.. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT HAS TO BE DONE TO ACTUALLY GET SOME REPS THAT ACTUALLY DO REPRESENT AMERICANS.. I FEAR WE ARE DOOMED, SOME DAYS!

    Disagree, both parties redistribute wealth.

    Not when you look at the data, no. Both parties are about spending far more than they bring in. If Republicans want small government, why has government spending increased EVERY year since 1955?

    Facta, non verba. Libertarians want individual rights, not Republicans. Republicans want a militaristic empire controlling the world. Stop with your partisan blinders and look at the data, there is tons out there. If you want some direction, I'll email you more than you would believe.

    If you believe the party should purchase votes with mindless freebies, government contracts and grants...you are a Democrat

    If you believe recipients of the freebies should kick back money to the party as campaign contributions....you are a Democrat.

(O.ok., i will provide ONE occasion: maximum Democrat voters have self belief there might desire to be some regulations on abortion - a hundred% of elected Democrats disagree lest they be shown the door.) maximum Republicans "help" their social gathering as a rule because of the fact "that is not as undesirable because of the fact the Democrats."

    No, that is a side show. The fundamental difference is, If you think Government should do everything, youre a democrat, if you think Government should do as little as possible, youre a republican. Everything else is a side show to demonize each other.
