One of the wildest things in politics is how neither side of mainstream politics actually does what their rhetoric is. Mainstream democrat politicians and their voters have a lot to say when it comes to criticizing the military industrial complex, yet not one democrat politician hasn't been a war hawk.

On the other hand, republicans are always criticizing the ideas and practicality of socialism and government control of the economy, yet not one republican president has ever reduced government spending. In short, no matter who you vote for, you are voting for more government control and less freedom - the only difference is the flavor of rhetoric you hear.

*tumbleweeds* your words speak for themselves and sum up the whole post quite well on both parties. Honestly, I'd say that most people would not be part of either party if they had the choice and that choice could become louder rather than set to the perception that there are only two political parties.
