The Republicans ARE the Democrats - and vice-versa

imho, david sirota is understating when he says that the democratic party is only 1/4 to 1/3 republican... if the "party" he's referring to is principally the dem leadership (which is, after all, the only "party" that really seems to matter), the only significant differences between them and the r's are purely wishful thinking on our part...

I think one of the ways that corporate America got smarter was that they began to understand that there was value to them in infiltrating the Democratic Party. They realized that owning the Republican Party was not enough, and that grabbing a chunk of the Democratic Party -- even a small chunk -- would allow the system as a whole to radically shift to the right far more quickly than if they just pursued a binary strategy with one party. We used to have one big business party and now we have one and a third -- or one and a quarter -- and that quarter is really integral to what's allowed the hostile takeover to move towards completion -- or at least to intensify.

there's a seriously flawed implication here and that's that the dems were somehow unsullied prior to republican infiltration... not bloody likely...
