clo,
In the early 2000s, Republicans held Congress and the Presidency, but they did *nothing* about Roe-v-Wade - supposedly an important issue to them. An intelligent person should understand there's something wrong there. Obviously, Republican POLITICIANS lack sincerity on this matter.
The same applies to Democrats and the Patriot Act. Obviously, regardless of how most of the members of the Democratic Party feel, their Masters feel otherwise.
You need to figure this out - or you're going to keep making the same bad assumptions over and over.
Democrats and Republicans might be quite different. But the Democratic and Republican POLITICIANS are *not*. They are, essentially, a bunch of lying power mongers.
And the two parties actually rely on one another for their own long-term health. Lose an election? It doesn't matter. You'll win the next one. The two are two sides OF THE SAME COIN.
The only thing that really DOES matter to politicians and party leaders is that a 3rd party never takes root. A 3rd party could actually undermine the balance of power that both sides depend upon. Both Democrats and Republicans know that a 3rd party needs to be put down at virtually any price.
