Why so many feel "both parties are the same."


No link, this is just my own theory, after reading yet another whining FB friend -- not surprisingly, a Tea Bag-leaning government-hater -- post a "It's no use, they're all the same!" meme.

When Republicans it is usually against their best interests. Only a very small percentage of Americans benefit from Republican tax policies and deregulation plans. Likewise, only corporate and Wall Street interests wishing to privatize schools, Social Security, etc, benefit from Republicans in power. But the GOP campaigns on keeping out the evil gays, keeping out evil immigrants, keeping out the evil Christian haters, and letting the little guy keep his own paycheck. But those things never happen, no matter how often the Tea Baggers and reg'lar ol' Republicans vote.

But when a Democrat gets elected, voters usually receive better benefits, increases in civil rights, even tax reductions for the middle class. But it often comes with an opposition Congress, so every issue is contentious, and the GOP convinces them the evil liberals are stealing their money and forcing gay teachers to educate their children about atheism. The GOP voter feels ripped of again.

He never gets what he wants! The gays still live next door, the war on Christmas continues, on and on.

Why bother voting? They're all the same *sigh*.

The bold part of this crap is too funny.

I missed the part of the Constitution that said the government is to dole out benefits.

Um no. Welfare and extended unemployment are not better than having a good paying job.  Unfortunately, liberals never met a business unfriendly policy they didn't like.

Obama's EPA and other agencies are pushing regulations that severely hurt the economy and poor people the most. We all have to have electricity, and Obama is making it cost more every year.

Civil rights? The US has dropped down the list under Obama when it comes to economic freedom and press freedom.

I love when Dummies pretend that the free markets only help the rich.

I have not met a libturd/DUmbass/regressive who can explain how raising taxes on the "rich" makes MY life any better.

DUmmies believe that if they can't climb the ladder of success any higher than where they are, then it should be sawed off at that point. IOWs, they want everyone to be as poor as them....period.

For the ones who are not poor they feel guilty about having more. Unfortunately, they do not feel so guilty that they want to use their own money do so something about it.
