bullshirt... there are many issuesPart of the problem is that most people with half a brain aren't extremist but both parties are now being guided by their far (for lack of better term) "wacko" groups. I would bet most people are closer to the middle yet its the crazies who make the most noise and get the most attention. Time for moderates to make the noise to shut the extremists in the parties up.
On socialism, republicans are further left than democrats used to be thus.. republicans are moderates on that topic, with democrats being just right of communists.
On rights for minorities democrats have finally come full circle and now support the rights of all minorities, where the republicans are acting like nazis when it comes to gays.
On foreign occupations and wars on fear, the democrats are for it till they are not for it then they are against it for the purpose of getting elected, then for it again when in power,... soon they will be claiming they are the party that will get us out of war again.. as for the republicans on this issue they are controlled by the military industrial complex and we've got to kill human on the planet to be safe from fear war hawks.
On monopolies and oligopolies both parties are silent, while they collect payments from same.
On taxes neither party wants their constituents to pay em, and both parties want the money collected to go to their constituents in the form of hand-outs to purchase votes.
BOTH PARTIES SUCK
