Judging from the last twelve years, neither side cares about America. People? lol, we have to fend for ourselves as we are in an Imperialist corporate welfare country, NOT a democracy.

The banks should have been allowed to fail... there should have been a reboot of the banking system...

Republican Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson had to bail out his old company Goldman Sachs... by giving AIG $50 BILLION...

Parties care on one day in November, beyond that nothing exist.

I would ask does the Republican/Democrat Party care about what is doing best for the people of the United States of America as a whole, since after all, its not just about me.
Exactly. That's the difference between Dems and the rest of us. They somehoe expect politicians to care about them and expect governemnt to take care of them. The rest of us know better which is why we want to limit government's power whenever we can.

If your an American and have part of a brain, you would know that Politicians don't care about us, What has either party actually done for us, to jumpstart this economy. What has either party done to get control of the messy Illegral Immigration Problem this Country faces, not a thing and this party seems to think we have no problem with illegals, the Democrats don't seem to think that we face a problem with immigration, they need to get a freaking backbone, and do something about this mess we face each and every day, and jumpstart this economy, they have had plenty of time, plenty of time to blame others, now get off of the pot, and take action. Both parties have failed us, both parties tell us sweet nothings before they are elected, and then Wham Bam son of a Gun, they do as they intended to do the whole time, what is on their agenda, whether the American People want what they are selling, which most of the time is Not.

Now that would depend on what exactly said middle class American was expecting wouldn't it ? Right now there is a majority of middle class Americans whom feel let down and betrayed by the FBPOTUS.

This post reads like it was written by a child. That's how a child reasons when his or her parents deny him or her what he or she wants: you really don't love me. What kind of "caring" is it that seeks to make people lifelong dependents of the government, as the Dems do?

So we have a situation where corporate gangsters work for the rich and union gangsters work for working class people in skills and trades.

Sounds about right!

If you take a close look at the salaries and compensation packages of many fundamentalist mega churches and televangelists, you would be horrified.
