[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1033249, member: 24302"] I certainly don't think politicians are all the same. Republicans support big business while Democrats make promises they don't keep. Both have their constituencies they pander to. But generally Republicans want less government, Democrats more. Right now we need less. I'm sorry for not saying what you only want to hear but I'm more interested in the truth. If I see Republicans lying I'll say so. Same with Democrats. What I do know about Democrats is they make promises to greatly reduce poverty, to fix schools, to provide for the poor. For decades they poured trillions into "fixing" all our ills without doing so. But they did create a way to scratch backs in exchange for votes. Republicans on the other hand turn a blind eye to corporate malfeasance to line their own pockets and only come down hard when a company like Enron goes way overboard. What you don't seem to see is that Democrats would have you dependent on government, lining their pockets in the process. Republicans rail against this but it's becoming very clear that corporations would have us just as dependent on them. Pay us just enough to stay at it with few options to change our situation. Republicans forgot why they came to power in '94 and were punished for it in 2006 and 2008. Democrats seem to be forgetting why they lost power in '94 after 40 years of controlling Congress. If either party takes it too far the public reminds them when voting. But don't kid yourself. These are two parties representing the two largest constituencies, conservatives and liberals, who tell their respective voters what they want to hear in order to line their own pockets. It's up to the voting public to decide which philosophy best serves the times. I'm hoping they say Republican because right now we need restraint. But I'm afraid too many just want to be given things, not earn it. We're at a tipping point in this country in more ways than one. [/QUOTE]
