When it comes to local races, judges, auditors, treasurers, etcetera, be they democrats or gop-ers, it doesn't matter. They're not writing laws. So, it still doesn't make a difference.
Legislators Ron Gerberry, Bill Johnson, Sherrod Brown and Tim Ryan would have us think differently, for THEM, not for US,U.S.
We hear the same dreck every two years. Republicans tell us that they want smaller government/less government involved in our lives. Democrats tell us, they're 'fighting' for us, all of us. They want us to believe that they,democrats, are interested in we, the people and corporations are bad, except those who donate to democrats.
Neither is accurate.
Sometimes I feel the party leaders get into a room and play fling flang flu or rock paper scissors in determining what issues to promote/demote. After all, it doesn't really matter, so long as they're juxtaposed and one of 'them' wins.
Todd Rundgren was talking about love, not politics, but, democrat or republican:

Well, at least, nationally, it doesn't make a difference.http://www.gallup.com/poll/175676/congress-approval-sits-two-months-elections.aspx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">With less than two months to go before the midterm congressional elections, 14% of Americans approve of how Congress is handling its job. This rating is one of the lowest Gallup has measured in the fall before a midterm election since 1974....

On the other hand, Americans who say they are not following national politics closely are the most positive, with 23% saying they approve.

Yet, every election, millions of Americans return to the polls and vote for them.
One pressing issue 'they' never attempt to solve is the national debt crisis. My friend, http://www.stevelaffey.com/index.php/issues/u-s-debt" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Fixing America's Steve Laffey has a plan to heal the crippling debt, but no one in congress does!
One look at the http://www.usdebtclock.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">national debt clock should horrify you,but not them, not the democrats or republicans, after all, they'll get THEIR money ...the IRS, the federal tax code, the gop-ers, the democrats from congress to presidents are always saying that the tax code needs reformed.

It's tripled in a decade. It now runs to 3.8 million words. To put that in context, William Shakespeare only needed 900,000 words to say everything he had to say. Hamlet. Othello. The history plays. The sonnets. The whole shebang. But the IRS needs four times as many words?http://www.marketwatch.com/story/10-things-i-hate-about-tax-day-1334094821191#printMode" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">
Next year, things will crank up for the presidential election. In control will be the republicans and democrats, those same self-serving , private parties.
Ah! but, we'll WE will have the debates!!!!

They left this, out: to exclude ANY chance for a true independent to be heard...to keep the presidency...to KEEP the presidency, for us,not for us,U.S. but for us: democrat or republican...as the pendulum swings!' (as I write this, I get the image of E. A. Poe's, Pit and the Pendulum with the razor-sharp crescent of steel coming closer and closer to halving Uncle Sam.
It's going to take more than an auto-de-fé* !
