Irony of the week award, for being so exacctly wrong and ideological while trying to claim it's 'exposing the truth'.
See my post above for a samplig of the Republican wrongs for which there is no counterpart to the imperfect but far less corrupt Democratic party.
You really don't like facts, do you PH.
You just keep telling yourself that your koolaid smells better if that helps you sleep at night.
And you should also know by now that I'm not a member of either party. I call it like I see it, regardless of the letter next to their names.
Our real challenge is in wading through the collective shit to find a gem or two worth voting for... and that ain't easy.
Someday, maybe you'll take the shades off, and then you'll see clearly that both parties are two sides of the same corrupt coin...
You confuse not being a member of either party with having a clue about the truth.
Some of the most biased people I know are so-called 'moderates'. They're convinced that anyone who has reached a conclusion that one party is better is biased.
Saying that two unequal things are equal is just as wrong as saying that two equal things are unequal.
You also indicate you fall for the fallacy that it's about the individual only. It's not. Party matters. Take two equally qualified people, and which party they are in matters.
Each party brings with it a huge slew of agenda, from thousands of appointees running the executive branch, regulating, judicial appointments, and much more.
In fact, the party can - and in my view currently does - dwarf the individual qualifications. I wish it weren't the case, but it is.
There's room for choosing a Republican over a Democrat if there's a huge difference between them, but the Republican has a lot to overcome from the bad of his party.
Sorry you don't understand the thousands of policies and the trillions of dollars (over years) that change based on which party is in power, but it matters.
