At the end of the day, Dem or Rep... they'll all paid in the same way & most likely paid by the same people). Don't get distracted by all this BS.

The questions you should be asking are:

Do I wanna be the "patriotic" sheep on my way to the slaughterhouse or the "unpatriotic" black sheep sitting back, watching the bloodbath from the sidelines ?

The banks were really patriotic when they got bailed out in 2008. They were even more "Patriotic" when they took their bonus from that bailout. They were also "Patriotic" by defrauding their own customers with service fees and adding products without account holder's knowledge (Wells Fargo). The common folks that lost their savings where also "Patriotic" as long as they didn't question WTF happened to their life-savings.

If people still believe that Republicans, Democrats, Liberals, Conservatives, etc, are calling the shots and things will get better in the next election because "this time around, it's different"... one might as well forward they're address to the closest sheep farm and make early reservations to the slaughterhouse :)
