<< Few things are more strange than the frequent statements from some on this
list that there is no difference between the two major parties. When one
compares the legislative votes and what the President proposes, there is a
remarkable difference. Generally speaking, when some socially progressive
bill comes before Congress, such as an increase in the minimum wage, the
democrats will vote in favor by, say, 75% while the Republicans are 7% in
favor. If the bill is socially regressive, as in lowering environmental
quality standards, the vote pattern is reversed. There's no difference?
The Democrats are hardly 10 feet tall. The 4 foot Democratic party only seem
tall when compared with the 6 inch Republican party.

The voting is no way to judge whether or not the parties are different. It is
the end result which is important. Also some laws have no interest to the
"controllers" who are directing things, thus the politicians can vote their
conscience or the way the people bribing them want them to. All the other
stuff (voting, having hearings, etc. . .) is window dressing and a carefully
crafted game to lead us to believe that they really are doing the best for us
and that there IS a difference between the two parties, so we will vote for
one or the other based upon PERCEIVED differences which are really caricatures
of our innermost fears and desires, and not take a real look at the system and
start over again with a REAL choice instead of the sham that we have now.
