Why do people think the Republican and Democratic parties are so different?

[Tow-mas]

They're exactly the same. Weak, dishonest, flip-flopping assholes, pandering to all your vices (fear, hatred, self-denial) to make themselves rich. So stop bitching about how "libs" and "cons" are "Destroying America".

Green, Labor, Libertarian, and Social Justice FTW!

[Chrissy]

Have you ever known somebody who was just like you, yet you hated them? Pretty much the same deal.

One side thinks with their brain while the other side thinks by their emotions. That's why the emotional side is so easily led by the nose.

Can you guess who's who? That's right, the dems have the brain

In the end, unfortunately there are a group of Conservative Democrats that cave in and vote with Republicans on monumental issues like "Free Trade" pacts, Corporate interests, and the Authorization for the Invasion of Iraq (thanks for nothing Kerry, Feinstein, Lieberman, Edwards and HILLARY!)

However, Most Democrats Vote the opposite of Most Republicans on most issues:
