GBRK,
That was rather off-topic, but we'll run with it anyway.
Right now it doesn't matter whether the Democrats or Republicans are in power. Both want to use the government to further their own political agenda instead of increasing the liberty and prosperity of the people. Democrats give voice service to helping the poor and transparent government while engaging on crony capitalism and serving their own kind behind closed doors and deceit. They want to extend the socialist reach of the government in the name of fairness at the expense of the rights and liberties of the people. Republicans give voice service to the middle class while carrying out their own crony capitalism and pushing their theocratic social agenda, also at the expense of the rights and liberties of the people.
Either way, the people lose. Time to vote them all out and keep voting them out until we get term limits for Senators and Representatives, and a government that is more concerned with the rights and prosperity of the people instead of lining their own pockets.
