That's long been the drumbeat of Demopublicans and Republicrats. Well, I've been voting mostly GOP for years, and things only got worse -- even when the GOP won.
Currently, the GOP is "least worst" on socialism. But the Dems are "least worst" on the current war hysteria. So they even out.
Come November, I'm voting straight Libertarian.

Locally I'll vote (LP)...nationally I'll vote (R) until the (LP) gets a base, gets the Harry Browne's out of the party, and their act together.
This current GOP administration is the most socialist, anti-Constitutional Republican administration in history.
This comes after the 1994 Republican "revolution" which was a pro-Constitution, anti-Clinton/socialism reaction.
That "revolution" was quenched not by Democrats but by Republicans.
The Republican Party has clearly demonstrated it will do all that is necessary to placate the anti-socialist voters whilst disempowering any true anti-socialist Representatives. They have almost completely cleaned House of the revolutionaries. Only Ron Paul remains as a pro-Constitution Republican. He has been "dutifully" isolated.
50 years of appeasement (voting the lesser of 2 evils) has made matters worse, not better.
Both parties are the problem, simultaneously. The problem is not voters who demand fidelity to the Constitution.
That people on FreeRepublic would on the one hand laud Thomas Jefferson's principles yet on the other hand criticize fellow Freepers who would uphold those principles is sheer hypocrisy, and folly to boot.
"Were parties here divided merely by a greediness for office,...to take a part with either would be unworthy of a reasonable or moral man." --Thomas Jefferson to William Branch Giles, 1795. ME 9:317
