Both major parties need to scare their supporters about the opposition.
The Republicans portray Democrats as extreme Left and the Democrats portray Republicans as extreme Right.
The truth is that the big parties are pretty much the same on policy with the difference being the words coming out of their mouths.
Obamacare came after Romneycare with progressive gimmicks like abortion and birth control in it, but its all pretty much the same with more money being moved into insurance companies and hospitals to bail out their costs driven up by uninsured people flooding the system.
Obamacare will not be reversed by the GOP because they want it too to bail out their special interest friends.
Our major political parties do the same thing once in power but make dramatic speeches claiming big differences between themselves to win elections to gain power.
Yup. See tagline.
