I'm trying to see what people think on this--do you think that the fights that go on inbetween democrats and republicans are staged and done so to help divide americans amongst each other?

I have often wondered that, keeping up off balance while they sneak through the legislation they want

YES!!!
Socialists have made every effort in previous decades to either push their agenda on us, or failing that, undermine us.
Now, Socialists have backed away and are silent. WHY?
They aren't. They have a new fur coat: Liberal Democrat.
Real liberals find themselves hijacked in a fight they partially agree with, and the rest of the democrats are suddenly stunned to find themselves called "Republican!!!" when they open their mouths.
Sedition is their tool of choice. The seditious people who attacked Former President Clinton; the seditious people who attack President Bush. Same motive:
"If you don't give me what I want, if you don't let me win the election for my candidate, regardless of what other people want, I'm going to do everything I can to hurt you."
A more unAmerican attitude I cannot think of, and I strongly urge you all to stand up to these people.
NOT the people who disagree. This is possible without sedition.
NOT the people who dissent. This is also a potentially patriotic action.
NOT the people who protest, which can be very patriotic.
Patriotic is when they put our country FIRST, NOT when they agree with you.
Sedition is when they call our representative names, spread unfounded rumors (just because you hear it doesn't mean you need to spread it), and treat our representatives as "guilty until proved innocent". Sedition is NEVER patriotic.
When I see a republican, I assume I am looking at a patriot unless they prove otherwise. I am looking at a fellow citizen, NOT the enemy. I hope they do the same when they see me, despite the seditious behavior of some of my party.
The Great Experiment must not end. Speak up. If you remain silent, you are letting them speak for you in a time when free speech is more free and easier than ever!
Don't stand silent when others around you try to destroy your country. I'm crying right now, sad at the silence, smiling at the few lone voices I hear, such as this poster, hopeful and praying that there are more.

It's an interesting thought, but no.
The disagreements are real, but the severity of the "anger and outrage" they show toward each other is fake.
My friend went to Washington as a lobbyist and he said
that at the end of the day, people from both "sides" are so friendly to one another they often sit down together for coffee.
And as for the question of dividing Americans, unfortunately we are already divided and don't need any help from politicians for that.
It's mostly the news media that tries to divide us.

no but I think that it shows a weakness within the power of our country. I also think the party system is disgusting. It should be the best man for the job, no matter there party. People decide if they are dem or rep and they just go with that. They immediatly hate the opposing team even if they have some good ideas. To me thats the stupidest thing about the system!!

Absolutely! The old divide and conquer shtick. It really makes no difference as both parties are run by the international banking cartel through the CFR. Two sides of the very same coin! The division goes much further like right/left black/brown/white even male/female! These divisions are all carefully orchestrated from the very top. I recall how one of the Rockeffelers was braging how they started the feminist movement because this doubled the tax base.

No, the word "democracy" and "republic"pretty much means the same thing. Having major political oppositions actually help everyone as it ensures that there would not be a 3rd Reich in the US. If there was only 1 major party; nobody will be able to complain. (I'm a Republican by the way; so I'm not referring to the current administration when I say the next "3rd Reich.")

I doubt they're staged. I think they are basically the result of people who are unwilling to compromise. If you're going to be a politician, you'd better be able to give and take if you want to make a difference.

No, I think people fight for their political party here in the USA like they used to fight for their religion.
The thought that their "religion" not being the correct one is intolerable to them, and they refuse to look at the point of view.

Yes, definitely! It is a manipulation tactic orchestrated by the global elite to get us bickering with one another so 1.) we're so busy fighting that we don't ever discover their evil plots and 2.) we don't unite and rise up against them. (Their biggest fear)

They go to the same country club, play golf together, and have dinner. They are graduates of the academy of dramatic arts
