Are there any connections between the republican and democratic parties?

[heather of the fields]

Someone with a huge bend towards conspiracy theories should answer this. For instance, skull and bones has members on both sides of the fence, right?

[Moonchild]

Oh boy, I am a Republican, so I guess that counts me out. No conspiracy theories on our side of the fence!

ankle bone is connected to the leg bone
Leg bone connected to
the knee bone is connected to the thigh bone
and so on

the family members are on all sides so that the Family always rules
the same way that all wars are financed by the same banking houses ,both sides .

the original win ,win win situation

and behind the scenes on a global scale it gets even more
clanny or should we say uncanny
check Blood lines of the Illuminati
there are several versions by different people
all saying the same things anyway.

I meant nothing of this

Uh..how about TODAY's headlines.

Mark Penn (CLINTONs guy) gets caught negotiating with Columbia on a free trade deal that BUSH is now pushing.

No need for conspiracies...

They are both extremely similar, and becoming more similar by the day, just look at the 3 people running for president, they are all socialist, big government = job security

They don't love the catholic church.

Republicans: Protestants hate the catholic church

Democrates: (Jefferson freemason) They love the ennemies of the catholic church:
Homosexuality, abortion ...

Sure. Just like there were mason's who fought on both sides during the civil war.

They are one and all, capitalist's. As such, they compete for the same cash prizes. The Democrats hope to get money from the same people the Republicans have been getting it from. As of now, the republicans are winning the game. They have more cash and more experience in playing the game.
The real connection beween the parties can be found in your purse or wallet: Money!!!

[pantagruel]

Yes. The Clinton's are the Republicans choice for the Democrats!

[ObamaMama]

Sure, the Republican party was born out of the Democratic party. We all had common goals until one election changed everything. Check your history:

I don't need to find out where they drank until they puked in college, just go to CFR.org and search for candidate names to see who has spoken there. It is a globalist think tank in the new sense that reserves the benefits of trade to only the international organizations and multinational corporations big enough to 'impact policy on the world stage'. This essentially cuts out individuals and small business entirely.

Obama, Clinton and McCain are all CFR. Ron Paul, a constitutionalist, not a globalist, is not.

I'd rather look at what they do and join that demonstrates their policy bent, rather than look at their connections with networking groups no matter how powerful.

I am not discounting the power of age old social groups, only saying out that policy is more important, to me.
