I'm getting flamed on another board here because I made the "outrageous" claim that there is very little difference between the pubs and dems. I said that they are now basically the same party that only differ in what they say to get into power; once there they act exactly the same. It makes me wonder if both major parties keep their supporters argueing with each other on purpose so that they can both continue to rape us while we're distracted.

I believe you are right to an extent, but I think you give too much credit to a conspiracy, as it were.

What it really comes down to, is the money. Large companies and wealthy individuals donate a lot of money to the parties to have some kind of influence. They benefit from this ruling. Therefore, neither party will come out trashing this attack against our freedoms.

The other thing is, people expect President Bush to do something, yet he and his business partners profited from eminent domain. I would love to hear him address this, but I don't think it'll happen.

It's unfortunate it's not a campaign year - at some point somebody would get a chance at asking him about this, or try to make it an issue.

I'm not saying that its a conspiracy at all. IMO, it is just a case of both major parties simply being drunk on power. They both want power, over anything and anyone, and are willing to do and say anything to get it. Add that to the fact that the major players in both parties are completely isolated from the average citizen. These guys all work together, and live near each other for a good portion of the year. A good number of them have held the same office for decades (making them senior member and subsequently capable of setting an agenda for others to follow). Think about it, most of the people politicans associate with on a daily basis are other politicians. It stands to reason then, considering all of this, that they would eventually start thinking in pretty much the same way.
