We have been duped for years thinking theres a difference between the repubs and dems. They are both presenting virtually identical policies. Your choice is a hamburger or a cheeseburger.

If you buy that Obama or any other major party nominee is going to make some drastic change and help us you are niave. Your vote is better off going to santa claus.

The vote we should be holding is if we should tar and feather or flog every one of the members of both political parties.

They have managed to bankrupt our nation and we are paying them lots of money to screw everything up. Seriously it disgusts me to hear people argue over this bullshit they are all jackasses that have fucked up the whole thing. And we keep on ignoring reality and chase our tails with bullshit issues.
If after 8 years of George Bush and Republicans in power you still think there's no real difference between Republicans and Democrats then I don't know what to tell you. That argument made some sense for awhile, but its clearly not valid anymore.

Not like I'm hugely enthusiastic about the Democrats but they are clearly the lesser of two evils.
I think what he's saying is that the differences are somewhat superficial. The government is still going to be run at the behest of big business. A power structure that represents and favors the interests of the elites will still be in place. Special interest groups will still be dominant. There will still only be two real choices in regards to leadership etc. No real fundamental changes will occur.

It will still be a choice between two evils so to speak. At least I think that's his point.
