Differences Between Republicans and Democrats

Is there much difference between mainline Republicans and Democrats? I don’t think so, here is why.
1.    All national candidates depend on corporate money to get elected. Without this corporate support they would have no chance at winning an election. Do you think these hundreds of millions of dollars come with no strings attached? To hedge their bets, corporate money flows to both parties more or less equally.
2.    Just look at the leading candidate from each party, Giuliani and Clinton: Both support the Iraq war; both support force against Iran; both support continuing the privatization of the commons; both support exporting American jobs overseas and both support some form of corporate for-profit healthcare. The only differences are of degree and detail.
3.    Hillary Clinton is more pro-corporate, pro-war, and pro-police state than Ronald Reagan. If she is elected, she will, in my opinion, be the second most right wing president in history; if Giuliani is elected he will be the most right wing president in history. Not much of a choice if you ask me.
For further proof of just how similar the two parties are and how both support the erosion of our liberties, look at the recent passage in the U.S. House of the Thought Crime Prevention Bill HR 1955 (officially known as Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act). There is little doubt that this bill is targeting the growing patriot community that is demanding the restoration of the Constitution. This bill makes it illegal for Americans to hold or express views that the government considers “extreme” (the definition of extreme is left solely to the determination of the President) and it allows the government to consider civil disobedience as an act of homegrown terrorism therefore subject to the harshest penalties in the law enforcement arsenal. Out of 435 House members, only 3 Democrats and 3 Republicans voted against this bill, among them Presidential candidates Ron Paul R-TX and Dennis Kucinich D-OH. Note the coincidence that neither candidate accepts corporate money and both are portrayed as whacko in the corporate media and of course neither candidate has a chance of getting elected in our “free (meaning paid) marketplace of ideas”.
