Indeed, right or left, it's all pretty much the same for most things. They just phrase the wording a little different. There are a few issues that they are actually divided on, and I don't agree with all policies on either side, heck some of them can't even agree amongst themselves. For the most part, I don't really look at what party they are, but some times, the "lesser of the two evils" theory must be used, then It usually puts me on one side more than the other.

Something I've always wanted to ask people in a disscussion like this:
If you could change one major aspect of the way your government was set up, wha twould it be? How would it be better, and what would the side effects be?

I've always disliked our 2 branch congress. I think things would flow through better with 1 branch. I do see why we have them both, large states would complain about our Senate not being equal, small states would complian about the House. But when they both write a bill that is just slightly different, mostly due to pork being added, it seems like alot of duplication. (For those who don't know, pork it the term used to describe extra things added to bills to encourage support from those that might not otherwise support it. usually locally benificial for the Reps. state or district.) Maybe if they worked on the bills together from the start then voted separately it would cut down on this.
