I'm glad Rachel Maddow and Ron Paul are revealing how this us vs them/left against right is a just a sham to keep the general public at each others throat rather than come together & how the Democratic along with Republican establishment are essentially mirroring each other.
The partisan pot shots are not about helping the national interests but about swindling voters into supporting you so you can rake in the dough from campaign contributions and lobbyists.
Still neither the Democratic nor the GOP political parties are
monolithic entities.
Perhaps we are approaching
the era of the multiparty political system.
Bernie Sanders and Dennis Kucinich might have enough support to splinter off to form a Progressive Party while leaving the existing Democratic Party to the neoliberal corporate centrists (Obama, Clintons)
Ron Paul (and perhaps the maverick McCain) could call it quits with the GOP and establish a powerful Libertarian Party while the neocons and the religious right maintain control over the Republican Party.
I think as a nation we might have reached the point where a two party system is just not sufficient to represent the interests of 300 + million people.
