When will you finally let go of the false "right-wing"/"left-wing" nonsense? If yesterday's unimaginably massive corporate welfare bill can alert us to anything, it should be that there is no longer any difference between the "two" parties.
Democrats took control of Congress in 2006. And even before that, as a minority party, they had plenty of opportunities to be a real opposition (which is the entire purpose of having political parties) to the steamrolling forces of totalitarianism of which the GOP has been only the target-friendly face.
Even in the wake of these debates (prez and vice-prez), I defy you to name one single MAJOR policy difference elucidated by the two candidates. The only thing they are "debating" is who will be most effective at implementing the exact same policies. Can you name Barack Obama's number-one corporate donor? Here's a hint: it starts with a "Goldman" and ends with a "Sachs."
The Republicrats have arrived in earnest, and they don't give a damn what any so-called "constitutent" thinks.
Please stop the polarizing rhetoric. We all have serious work to do to fix this madness.
