Actually, there is relatively little difference between core legislatures. On the vast majority of issues, most of which never rise to the level of controvesry or result in intense media attention, both parties usually cooperate. The agendas of political parties are fluid, although there are a few core platform issues that polarize the parties. However, on economic issues there is a great deal of departure, driven primarily by the radical right and left wings of the parties. Republican ideals include self-determination, self-reliance, personal responsibility, market-directed solutions. Democratic ideals are compassion for the less fortunate, governmental regulation of industry to protect comsumers, and responsibility for others. While none of these ideals are in themselves bad, taking any of them to extremes creates unequal treatment. There should be no rivalry, there should be instead informed debate, compromise, and mutual respect. However, the face of politics has changes from your parent's time to now, and political expediency seems to have replaced common sense, especially where the strategic, long-range planning of the nation is concerned. This holds true even for so-called "third parties", which are generally populated by radicals who fall outside of the extremes of either dominant party. I would suggest avoiding conspiracy theories and instead concentrate on convincing our legislatures to return to the practices of good government.

They are so much alike that they don't even have a clear cut philosophy upon which to create a platform for anything. They are so consumed by the concept of government of the party , by the party, and for the party, that they have forgotten who we, the people are. There should be no red states, there should be no blue states. There should only be red, WHITE, and blue states. The white is the binding that will secure our freedoms and restore the people in American government. This will take a third political party, a concept that has never played well in the eyes of the power brokers.

There is no difference. The same crooked politicians. There are no real choices in elections in this country. "Issues" that decide elections in this country are emotional but meaningless issues like abortion, gay rights or prayer in school. Real issues like whether this country supports Israel or not, whether this country starts a war or not are never on the agenda.

Common ground is for cowards who will check to see which way the wind is blowing. I'm not holding hands with a bunch of Socialist who want to destroy this nation.

Everything, except that these wear a conservative shell and those wear a liberal one. They may seem very different on the outside, but apart from some minor issues, as far as their broad policy goes, they are the same.
Take care!

They both put a lot of effort into keeping 3rd parties out of politics.
