Dems tax and spend, Repubs borrow and spend.

Dems say, "vote for me, and I'll help you." If elected, they screw you over.

Um . . . don't Republicans tend to spend more in just different ways?

For instance, IIRC, Republicans want to increase spending in the military, while Democrats want to increase spending in another area.

Or am I mistaken?

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

I think I've offered this opinion before, but that doesn't seem to stop anyone else here :

1) Republicans take money from corporations, then do their evil bidding. Democrats take money from corporations, then do their evil bidding; but, they also take money from labor unions and trial lawyers, then do their evil bidding. In terms of US politics, this makes the Democrats "liberal."

2) Republicans run for election offering a traditional conservative agenda that they promptly ignore once in office (for explanation, see #1). Democrats run for election on a traditional liberal platform that they proptly ignore one in office (for explanation, see #1).

3) Democrat scandals tend to involve the abuse of money, alcohol, drugs, and or sexual partners. Republican scandals tend to involve the abuse of the Constitution of the United States (note that this is not what they do, just what they get caught doing).

4) Democrat politicians of a certain generation tend to be former anti-war types who weaseled out of service in Vietnam. Republican politicians of a certain generation tend to be pro-war types who weaseled out of service in Vietnam.

5) Coke supports the Democrats, Pepsi support the Republicans.

That's about it.

Democrats are corporate whores, just like the Republicans, but they feel guilty about it. Republicans don't. Also, Democrats sell out for less, I think.
