uh, they are both as bad as each other, this is why you guys have so many problems, people get caught up about choosing a side instead of figuring out both sides are shit.

Way too repetitive. Like they couldn't find more than three quotes that illustrate this point?

Yeah and the Democrats aren't taking campaign money, and never craft legislation to help out Oil, Insurance, and Wall Street. (eyeroll) And Oil, Insurance, and Wall Street are always evil and must be destroyed, right? (eyeroll) And Democrats aren't in the pocket of Big Union & Big Trial Lawyers at the expense of the people, right? (eyeroll) Vid bounces off my propoganda shield without effect. I'd rather have strong Oil, Insurance, and Wall Street than Government because private industries actually help people and do stuff, while government helps no one and accomplishes nothing.

@Winstonfield_Pennypacker, @ghark, Democrats aren't going on TV to effectively say that being a sellout to corporations is a good thing.

As a matter of fact, Democrats who vote with Republicans against their party are almost universally the ones who receive the largest campaign contributions from the industry most affected by the legislation.

In other words, the whole Republican platform is based on the philosophy of empowering corporations to do whatever they want, while the Democratic platform is about protecting people.

Democrats get bribed away from that to be sure, but we're talking about a handful out of the caucus on any given issue. It's only the unanimous pro-corporate Republican bloc that makes their defections significant.

While their platform may be about protecting people, it's still a corporatist party for the most part. Sure there are the Kucinich types, but they certainly don't run the party.

Why do you have to be so thickheaded?

First, it's a campaign ad so of course the blue shirts aren't gonna call out their own mistakes.

Second, the reason Republicans neo-conservatism is worse than the Democrats fractured liberal views is precisely because of brainwashed bandwagon yuppies like yourself that can't or refuse to depart from talking points and rhetoric.

Sorry for the insults but you can't consider yourself an honest, rational person and defend corporatism while millions of gallons of oil & chemicals are raining from the skies.

Private industry and goverment are so heavily interwined that anything good you have to say about Big Oil, Big Insurance, or Wall Street you have to attribute to all the corrupt Democrats that help make those industries strong.

Your neo-con role models have convinced you that supporting Big Business is better/ more reasonable because that's who pays them.

They've convinced you that people suffering is less important than quarterly profits.

Which is sad because you won't realize the pain you've help inflict until you're the one with some horror story.

Strong Oil, Insurance, and Wall Street...yeah, that helped a lot.

Oil keeps us from moving forward on clean energy.

Insurance companies keep squeezing more money out of people and giving less back.

Wall Street doesn't do anything but figure out ever craftier ways to fuck over small investors.

Hoo boy! Yup, there's just no better alternative to running a country than that.
