How naive can you get? First of all, neither side is actually that extreme either way. Second of all, Americans repond to a middle of the road philosophy, rather than a radical one. So to get elected, you can't call yourself a Communist, or a Fascist, because that's not completely true, and that's political suicide.

Then what labels are we left with? Christian, non-Christian, Muslim Once, Feminist, Abortion supporter, Pro Military, Pro North American PPI promoter, bozo? What terms will we then use to describe the differences? I had my response censored for using the word "mindless" ... what are we left with. THE POLITICIAN? We must have categories to dialog. But, the ones who call for dialog only want to talk their own talk and seek to censor "offensive words." Well this is offensive and an attack on my rights to free speech to be censored for a word like "mindless."
Yahoo... is not fair and balanced in this game of public opinion.

Because ignorant people like to use labels and would just replace Democrat and Republican with something else.

If we drop the Democrat and Republican, or Liberal and Conservative, then we might have to replace it with Rich People and Poor People. We don't want THAT!

No matter what you call them, the game and the prize will be the same: the enrichment of the politicians and their cronies.

"Let's not drop the terms Democrat and Republican". Instead, let's drop the media that drills this focus on government into us.

I believe that you have a flawed opinion of what each party stands for, if indeed they stand for anything beyond the acuumulation of more wealth and power for themselves and their friends.

I disagree with you. Political parties can call themselves anything they want.
