"There is the misconception the Republican and Democrats are two distinct parties. They are becoming more alike as time passes."

Disagree completely. The WOT is an example of 2 parties that could not be further apart ideologically.

"There are socialists in both parties. Those in the Republican party are taking control as evident by a socialist like Guiliani (sic) actually being considered as a candidate. They are essentially one party with like minded socialist ideologies.

Again, couldn't disagree more. Rudy cut taxes numerous times. Democrats don't cut taxes, I'm sure we can agree.

" Unfortunately too many people focus on the party labels instead of the ideology. Forming another party would be a second, not third party."

Sorry, strike three. Ideology has it's place but uncompromising ideology is fanatical, imho. I honestly believe, no insult intended, that the "two parties are no different" argument is a cop-out used in an attempt to justify a third party vote.

The Republican and Democrat Parties are poles apart as even a cursory examination of each party will prove.

There may be similarities in certain areas, example illegal immigration, however, there are more disagreements than agreements. A listen to Harry "The Body" Reid, Bela Pelosi or Lardass Murtha for two minutes, proves the point. These are the people that speak for the "Democratics".

Employing a phrase such as "socialists like Rudy", is pure sophistry. It is patently not a credible statement and really does interfere with honest discourse.

G-d, I'm long-winded. Sorry about that.

No, you are not long winded.

You are explaining things very well, in detail, for all to understand clearly.

I will be bookmarking this post as a reference also.

Thanks for taking the time. :)
