Very well put, Wall Street Pimp. The only real difference between Repubs and Dems is the name. They are all the same. Libertarians are the way, but until they can get big money support, and I mean the same big money the Repubs and Dems get, they will not succeed. I was heartened to hear several years ago about the Tea Party, but they allowed themselves to be hijacked by the Repubs, who provided them with Sarah Palin (a ditz) and Rush Limbaugh (a drug-addled disc jockey) as spokespeople. That put them right in the toilet. The Tea Party was a threat to both parties, that somehow the real people of this country might have some say in their own affairs. The same reason the Libertarians are a threat. They could not allow threats to their own corrupt money machine. And the only reason both parties focus on the social issues is that those issues get people riled up, and it diverts their attention away from the fact that neither party really gives a damn about regular Americans. They just exist to collect money in between campaigns and elections, and what happens to Americans is not really any of their concern.
