The divide between Republican and Democrat really is only an illusion. Think about it: We all know the Democrats stand for big government. We have seen the growing deficits, etc. We all know the drill.
But, if you look at the Republicans honestly, they are no better. President Bush lowered taxes, and, as expected, saw an increase in tax revenues. So, under Bush, since the Republicans stand for smaller, limited, government, we saw the deficits shrink, as, not only did we increase tax revenues, but programs were cut as well. Right?
Sadly, no. President Bush, with a Republican majority in Congress, increased, rather than decreased deficits and the size of government.
I like this post by Poli-Tea. I think it illustrates the situation very well.
The sad truth is, as long as the Republicans and Democrats are the only game in town, we are doomed to bigger and more unwieldy and intrusive government, and ever mounting debt levels. Levels of debt that will eventually crush this Republic under its mounting weight.
Republicans and Democrats don't hold the answers to America's problems. They ARE the problem. America's answers are to be found with We The People.
