Most Americans have been brainwashed to believe they have only two choices when it comes to selecting their political leaders. It's either a Republican or a Democrat. They rarely even consider there are other choices. Rather than choosing a candidate that better reflects their values, they choose instead "the lesser of two evils." And, they get what they choose... "evil." Beyond their rhetoric, there is very little difference between Republicans and Democrats in their actions. They like to sound different, supporting the false left/right paradigm, but both the Republicans and Democrats parties are dedicated to Big Government and neither are willing change that. G. Edward Griffin said in The Grand Design, "The Grand Design has absolutely nothing to do with partisan politics. These men aren't nearly as much Republicans or Democrats as they are world politicians, They've got bigger things to occupy their minds than mere party labels, To them, partisan politics is only a game to amuse the masses who crave the showmanship of big national conventions, the excitement of partisan campaigns, and the satisfaction of casting a vote in the illusion that, somehow, they're really helping to decide the important issues of the day, But, with precious few exceptions, for the past two decades the American voter has had to make his choice between Grand Designer A and Grand Designer B." What America needs is a NEW paradigm. Washington needs to be wiped clean of the cronies that have established themselves as the only choice and have sold their offices to International bankers. We need leaders that believe in our historical roots and are committed to returning America to the Constitutional Republic set forth in 1776. Does the Republican Party Represent You? "Sometimes we wonder if Republicans don´t have a secret suicide wish. That´s the only way to explain why this GOP Congress seems eager to hand the nation´s trial lawyers two epic political victories. Senator John McCain´s tobacco-tax bill promises to turn a passel of plaintiffs´ lawyers into billionaires. As if that´s not enough, House Republicans Greg Ganske and Charlie Norwood are proposing to open up previously exempt parts of the health care economy to liability suits. If a Democratic Congress tried to do anything at all like this, Republicans would be rending their garments on the Capitol steps." -The Wall Street Journal Emerging from the Republican party are neoconservatives such as William Kristol, the founder of the Project for the New American Century. Neoconservative influence on American foreign policy became central with the Bush Doctrine of preventive war, which held that the United States should depose foreign regimes that represented a potential or perceived threat to the security of the United States, even if that threat was not immediate.
Consider the state of our economy, the protection of our liberties, and our health as a result of elections since 1913 following this misleading left/right paradigm.
The Republican party has long been considered the representative of conservativism, but does it really reflect conservative values? 
Republicans and Democrats alike were conned into voting for a $700 billion bank bailout of Wall Street’s most prominent and well-connected financial houses even though the vast majority of their constituents demanded they not support it. 2008 Presidential candidate, John McCain, painted himself as a warrior against pork barrel spending, spending months traveling around the country boasting about his opposition to earmarks and pork-barrel spending and vowing to veto such spending, yet he voted for $100 billion of pork in the mortgage-bailout bill including tax breaks for: rum producers in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands; producers of wooden arrows used for children's toys; film and television producers; Indian tribes; railroads; "Domestic Production Activities" in Puerto Rico; and auto-racing tracks.
The 2012 Vice-Presidential candidate, Paul Ryan, was praised by top conservative voices as being what Presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, needed to win over Conservatives shying away from Romney's dubious background. Ryan was called the GOP’s “moral compass” and The Wall Street Journal has editorialized that he “represents the GOP’s new generation of reformers.” 
Despite his fiscal responsible rhetoric, Ryan has voted to raise the debt ceiling multiple times and is an avid supporter of Washington’s foreign wars and the Military Industrial Complex. He voted in favor of the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). He defended the bill on the House floor saying, “Are we standing at the edge of this abyss? Nobody knows, but maybe. It’s very probable.” No, Mr. Ryan the whole crisis bringing you to this vote was a sham, a orchestrated theft of the American people. Ryan went on to say, “Colleagues, we’re in the moment. This bill doesn’t have everything I want in it — its got a lot of good things in it — but we’re here, we’re in this moment and if we fail to do the right thing, heaven help us.” Yes, Mr. Ryan... heaven help us. “This bill offends my principles, but I’m going to vote for this bill in order to preserve my principles, in order to preserve this free enterprise system,” Ryan explained.
Along with a Nazi like Department of Homeland Security, this law begat other laws that expanded the power of government to extend to ANY individual remotely suspected suspected of terrorist-related activities and redefining "domestic terrorists" to include anybody that supports the U.S. Constitution, those that read the Bible, or anyone else that disagrees with the collectivist goals of an out of touch centralized government. The Military Commissions Act and National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) suspended the constitutionally protected right of habeas corpus, codified military indefinite detention, and extends to even American citizens declared to be an unlawful enemy combatant. With the agreement of Tea Party activist and Presidential candidate, Representative Michelle Bachmann, in 2011 President Barack Obama signed a four-year extension of the law.
2012 Vice-Presidential candidate, Paul Ryan, also voted to extend the unconstitutional PATRIOT Act, supported the National Defense Authorization Act, and has voted to expand the Department of Homeland Security.

Loads about the failures of Republicans in the piece. What about the Dims? No air time for them?
Did you not see the first 10 bullet points? When the Jeremiah Project mentions "Both Parties" do you think they're referencing Greens or Libertarians? How many times does your "party" have to sell you out before you start to understand that most of them are lying con artists who want to work as lobbyists when they finally lose an election or are termed out?
An entire expose on Pubs. Nothing on the Dims.
Good grief man, are you blind?
Not blind I see quite well. The DNC operation is alive and well on LF.
If you can't see that there is no fundamental difference between the Dem and Rep parties, I can't help you. The article pointed out that fact quite convincingly. But what the heck - you go on believing that the Republicans will save the Republic. The fact is - they are pursuing the NWO agenda just as diligently as the Democrats.
The article pointed out that fact quite convincingly. Wait -- do you doubt for a moment that were the Dems in charge of EVERYTHING that you and I and Red would be in a FEMA Camp RIGHT NOW?? The article was INCOMPLETE. I question the motives of the author (Remember David Brock??) It is malarkey to believe that there is "no fundamental difference between the Dem and Rep parties." The difference between Mitch McConnell and Ted Cruz is...LIGHT YEARS. McConnell and Boehner control all the subcommittee appointments, the tone of Congress, the agenda of the GOP, and degree of treason committed as they colluded with the Traitor-in-Chief. Same with past Pubbie leaders...until you get to Uncle Newt. He *was* effective until he was betrayed within, then blackmailed as one of the 1400 Feeb files stolen by the Klintoons. But what the heck - you go on believing that the Republicans will save the Republic. If it *is* saved, those who will help save it will be the Pubbies stopping this Republic from dead-lining. (Or do you believe it will be Dems?) The fact is - they are pursuing the NWO agenda just as diligently as the Democrats. Yes. The Guilty are the PUBBIE LEADERSHIP. And ENTIRE DEM PARTY. This broad-sweeping indictment is no different than characterizing ALL Christians as "Westboro Fundies."
Lib, I understand and agree with the distinction you make between the gop leadership and its conservative rank and file. Where we might part company, I suppose, is whether or not in practical terms the distinction matters. For you, the jury may still be out. For me, the jury has returned a verdict of a resounding no - it matters not. The "Tea Party" was a bright spot. While it didn't so much focus on social issues as I would have liked, the TP was for limited government and The Constitution. While TP voters were welcomed into their natural home, the gop, their principles were not. Some of the successful tea party candidates (name escapes me, but the NH Senator) have stabbed us in the back. And others, while they have stuck to their principles, have been bullied and strong armed by the likes of McConnell and Boehner. I honestly believe there's more hatred in Boehner's and McConnell's hearts for the tea party than there is for the Boy Emperor and his cadre of tyrants. I can analyze why this might be all day long - lust for power, no principles, wanting the NY Times to say nice things - whatever. But in the end, it doesn't matter. The time to defeat the traitors known as democrats was early evening. It's now literally one minute before midnight - and the 'tan' and 'the turtle' still are not only not fighting them - they're actively engaged in helping them. That's how I see it, at least.
