Most Americans have been brainwashed to believe they have only two choices when it comes to selecting their political leaders. It's either a Republican or a Democrat. They rarely even consider there are other choices. Rather than choosing a candidate that better reflects their values, they choose instead "the lesser of two evils." And, they get what they choose... "evil." Beyond their rhetoric, there is very little difference between Republicans and Democrats in their actions. They like to sound different, supporting the false left/right paradigm, but both the Republicans and Democrats parties are dedicated to Big Government and neither are willing change that. G. Edward Griffin said in The Grand Design, "The Grand Design has absolutely nothing to do with partisan politics. These men aren't nearly as much Republicans or Democrats as they are world politicians, They've got bigger things to occupy their minds than mere party labels, To them, partisan politics is only a game to amuse the masses who crave the showmanship of big national conventions, the excitement of partisan campaigns, and the satisfaction of casting a vote in the illusion that, somehow, they're really helping to decide the important issues of the day, But, with precious few exceptions, for the past two decades the American voter has had to make his choice between Grand Designer A and Grand Designer B." What America needs is a NEW paradigm. Washington needs to be wiped clean of the cronies that have established themselves as the only choice and have sold their offices to International bankers. We need leaders that believe in our historical roots and are committed to returning America to the Constitutional Republic set forth in 1776. Does the Republican Party Represent You? "Sometimes we wonder if Republicans don´t have a secret suicide wish. That´s the only way to explain why this GOP Congress seems eager to hand the nation´s trial lawyers two epic political victories. Senator John McCain´s tobacco-tax bill promises to turn a passel of plaintiffs´ lawyers into billionaires. As if that´s not enough, House Republicans Greg Ganske and Charlie Norwood are proposing to open up previously exempt parts of the health care economy to liability suits. If a Democratic Congress tried to do anything at all like this, Republicans would be rending their garments on the Capitol steps." -The Wall Street Journal Emerging from the Republican party are neoconservatives such as William Kristol, the founder of the Project for the New American Century. Neoconservative influence on American foreign policy became central with the Bush Doctrine of preventive war, which held that the United States should depose foreign regimes that represented a potential or perceived threat to the security of the United States, even if that threat was not immediate.
Consider the state of our economy, the protection of our liberties, and our health as a result of elections since 1913 following this misleading left/right paradigm.
The Republican party has long been considered the representative of conservativism, but does it really reflect conservative values? 
Republicans and Democrats alike were conned into voting for a $700 billion bank bailout of Wall Street’s most prominent and well-connected financial houses even though the vast majority of their constituents demanded they not support it. 2008 Presidential candidate, John McCain, painted himself as a warrior against pork barrel spending, spending months traveling around the country boasting about his opposition to earmarks and pork-barrel spending and vowing to veto such spending, yet he voted for $100 billion of pork in the mortgage-bailout bill including tax breaks for: rum producers in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands; producers of wooden arrows used for children's toys; film and television producers; Indian tribes; railroads; "Domestic Production Activities" in Puerto Rico; and auto-racing tracks.
The 2012 Vice-Presidential candidate, Paul Ryan, was praised by top conservative voices as being what Presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, needed to win over Conservatives shying away from Romney's dubious background. Ryan was called the GOP’s “moral compass” and The Wall Street Journal has editorialized that he “represents the GOP’s new generation of reformers.” 
Despite his fiscal responsible rhetoric, Ryan has voted to raise the debt ceiling multiple times and is an avid supporter of Washington’s foreign wars and the Military Industrial Complex. He voted in favor of the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). He defended the bill on the House floor saying, “Are we standing at the edge of this abyss? Nobody knows, but maybe. It’s very probable.” No, Mr. Ryan the whole crisis bringing you to this vote was a sham, a orchestrated theft of the American people. Ryan went on to say, “Colleagues, we’re in the moment. This bill doesn’t have everything I want in it — its got a lot of good things in it — but we’re here, we’re in this moment and if we fail to do the right thing, heaven help us.” Yes, Mr. Ryan... heaven help us. “This bill offends my principles, but I’m going to vote for this bill in order to preserve my principles, in order to preserve this free enterprise system,” Ryan explained.
Along with a Nazi like Department of Homeland Security, this law begat other laws that expanded the power of government to extend to ANY individual remotely suspected suspected of terrorist-related activities and redefining "domestic terrorists" to include anybody that supports the U.S. Constitution, those that read the Bible, or anyone else that disagrees with the collectivist goals of an out of touch centralized government. The Military Commissions Act and National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) suspended the constitutionally protected right of habeas corpus, codified military indefinite detention, and extends to even American citizens declared to be an unlawful enemy combatant. With the agreement of Tea Party activist and Presidential candidate, Representative Michelle Bachmann, in 2011 President Barack Obama signed a four-year extension of the law.
2012 Vice-Presidential candidate, Paul Ryan, also voted to extend the unconstitutional PATRIOT Act, supported the National Defense Authorization Act, and has voted to expand the Department of Homeland Security.

Loads about the failures of Republicans in the piece. What about the Dims? No air time for them?
I understand your frustration, Red, with respect to the scapegoating of the GOP for their collusion with Democrats and failure to uphold and battle for simple constitutional-conservative principles. Where is the essay indicting and executing Democrats for their collective and blatant destruction of our nation, our sovereignty, our traditions, our constitution? Upon perusing the Jeremiah Project, they indeed do take to task Dems on several fronts. For instance, here is a link to "Values": http://www.jeremiahproject.com/trashingamerica/values.html This particular writer lost points (and legitimacy IMO) in his essay by cherry-picking, then mentioning Michele Bachmann AND the Tea Party -- two staunch allies of American sovereignty and constitutional law as somehow...at fault for the acts of traitors within the GOP leadership. Where is HE coming from?? I get the general point; The betrayal and fecklessness of the Republican Party is outrageous -- but its rank and file members still remain anyway from 25-75% in direct opposition to Dem Party policies and agendae (depending on the issue.) THIS point and observation has been made repeatedly: The GOP's corrupt stranglehold on the party's leadership began THE moment Reagan left office. Poppy Bush and his NWO cabal colluded with the globalist-elites/NWO machination to hijack the GOP brand and party platform, and direct it to enmesh within the polluted stream of the Dem's. That said, the subverted leadership of McStain, the Bushes, McConnell, Boehner, Graham, etal does NOT represent the legit, traditional GOP. If THIS perverse arrangement ever gets reversed, the GOP's conservative, pro-America/sovereignty leadership may be restored -- it'd obviously be a Game Changer; If not, the Republic's death is certain. Any claim that the GOP's values and goals are no different than the Democrats is complete hogwash and frankly, propaganda. IF there were no difference, we'd already have had our guns confiscated (an attempt, anyway), would be unable to post at this forum, and many conservatives JAILED. That's right -- JAILED.
Correct...Poppy Bush had no business being called a Reagan Republican. But Reagan understanding "you keep your friends close and your enemies closer" knew that the VP job (which back then was not as involved as it became) was a good place to ice someone while trying to do the work of the nation.
