The Democratic and Republican Parties have become merely opposite wings of the same bird, and it’s the American people who are getting the bird as our elected officials serve their corporate masters and the special interest groups that dominate both parties.
Lou Dobbs
The problem is not that the Democrats and Republicans are opposites, the problem, is that they are becoming just alike.
Suppose you had Hitlery for the Dimmycraps, a "moderate" ("a base-stealing word for liberal Republicans", as Bill Buckley once wrote) (RINO) GOP candidate, a conservative independent candidate of the Keyes/Paul mode, McKinney, Bloomberg, and Dobbs. Who would win and why?
And who would you support?
“The Democratic and Republican Parties have become merely opposite wings of the same bird”
Good description.
Why are they complaining about gridlock? It’s not as if the country wants the same things done by our representatives. This idiotic “gridlock” term presupposes that the country is united in our desires for legislative solutions, and it’s pretty obvious that there are some very divisive major issues.
