They are BOTH corporate shills
Worse than that, CChris.
Both parties have turned into a corporate duopoly.
Two sides to the same coin.
Heads they win.
Tails you lose.
This has been going on longer than anybody who posts here has been alive
Most people seem unaware of this grim reality because the corporate media refuse to cover it.
In fact the corporate MSM exist first and foremost to distract from facts like that with a series of meaningless hoops the public are supposed to jump through that keep the 49/51% solution in play.
Half the nation angry at the other half perpetually.
With half the nation's hands around the other half's throats and vice versa the necks of the real troublemakers remain unwrung.
If either side of the political fence gets too powerful they work together to even it up again.
It's as simple as deciding wot is and isn't news and whether to run a flattering or unflattering shot of someone.
In the case of Ron Paul they did their level best to ignore him and ridicule him at every turn.
Until enuff people see this there can be no real change.
A tipping point of conciousness needs to occur but the dumbing down of the nation continues apace in order to prevent it from ever occuring.
That all sed and understood, it would be suicide to elect the GOPhers fer one more term here because the difference between their rhetoric and reality is staggeringly large and very, very destructive.
Be Well.
