The Demonrats HAVE become the party of vice, that's for sure.

The party elites are blending. Dems are worse but they both spend too much.

Sorry, no sale!
Get back to me when they quit putting up lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberals like Romney for POTUS.

The Democrats are the party of Marxists, traitors and perverts. The Republicans are for the most part an assembly of ineffectual poseurs. They're not the same, but the Repubs are content to natter on impotently in the face of the corrosive evil being perpetrated by the Keft.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

I meant "Left", of course.

You judge the Party by their base, using that standard no sane person could ever say they are the same, not even close!

No, the author is wide off the mark.
When Republicans behaved just like Democrats, (if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, ....) why is it wrong to call them out? Look closely, Republicans have not been practicing their ideology for how many decades now?
I don’t consider myself outside-the-box thinker or the enlightened one. That attitude from the author is ‘tiresome’.

Once they get a taste of life inside the lines of separation become blurred. The two parties are like Pepsi and Coke: while they sometimes do battle with a special promotion they are happy to maintain their own market share and will work together to keep Dr. Pepper out of their house.

(fighting tyranny never goes out of style)
To: Paladins Prayer
No, they are not the same.
The republicans have supported tyrannical, socialistic, Big Nanny Government only to the first or second power.
The democrats push for TOTAL tyrannical, socialistic, Big Nanny Government - and they have been winning the battle for more than 50 years.
Much of the republican success at the federal level can usually be traced to disgusted voters picking the least worst of two really bad options.
The democrat party cannot be saved - it is too far gone.
The republican party could be saved if they keep their oaths of office and would listen to voters, especially Tea Party and other conservatives.
But establishment republicans are fighting to keep out new blood and conservative idealism.
They would rather protect their position, perks, wealth and power than do what is right for America.
Without a miraculous change in direction both parties are both doomed and will soon both be history anyway - along with the rest of us.
Once they can no longer prop up the economy with borrowed money and fiat currency it will all come crashing down and the survivors will start anew.

I don’t buy the premise that the parties are the same any more than the one that Romney is just as bad as Obama. I’m no fan of Mitt Romney by a long shot, but he doesn’t believe a mixture of Marxist, socialist, and fascist ideologies like President Obama. Also, despite the fact that there are moderate Republicans who collude with the left, there are also some good conservatives. It’s pretty clear the conservatives are simply outnumbered. I remember Bush doing quite a bit of arm twisting in his own party to pass his “compassionate” agenda.

The GOP is the political version of “The Washington Generals”.

Even intellectual Pygmies like the Obamas could grasp the concept presented that way.
