Two sides of the same coin. And the television industry does not want a multi-party system. It's even getting so it's almost impossible for independents to get on the ballot of all 50 states for Presidential races.

Yep, until we exert control at the local level again we're screwed, this shit has gone too far. By way of example my new home town want $2.5m to purchase a new cop shop, seriously $2.5m in a town of 3,000 WTF is that? And btw the State police shop is just a mile and a half down the road.
