its a good point but what you leave out is the democrats are the same way.....there are no values in either party. sure they run their mouths but look at the results. the reason we are in big trouble is BOTH parties. if you were raised republican or democrat and you still believe in either....you are sort of a moron.......just take a look around and watch how both operate.! there are a few good ones in each party that tell the truth....but they are mouthpieces and the party elite will never let them win........watch how far ron paul and denis kucinich go in their respective parties....one is a die hard conservative the other a liberal.....but they pretty much tell the same story....gee, i wonder why? because its the truth and the corporations(plus the FED) and either party would never have it.............its called CORPORATE RULE. the most obvious was the bailout fiasco.....NO ONE WAS CHARGED WITH A THING???? they got bonuses for wrecking the economy. gee, i wonder why? which party did a thing about it? now they can contribute unlimited amounts of money to campaigns....yeah, things are going to be peachy for years to come......lol..lol. you are talking about a time (1956)when at least both parties thought about the PEOPLE........thats long gone folks, unless people wake up and force the issue...but they are dumb(don't know they're being separated by two corrupt parties) and lazy as we fall like Greece or Rome....read a history book.......this is how every empire fell.....hopefully i'll be gone before it happens but i have kids and a grand kid.
i left out the guy in vermont....sanders??? independant, that guy they paint as a commie or socialist because he says the people are getting screwed....keep believing the media and his opponents.....hes a commie the "people" are getting great deal......yeah ok....i'm buying that crap.....
