I got news for ya': The Plutocracy ALREADY own BOTH Parties!
Not going to argue with you on this post...but it is interesting that neither parties seem imbued with the conservative spirit...
In "The High Tide of American Conservatism: Davis, Coolidge, and the 1924 Election" Garland Tucker explains that 1924 was the last time both parties ran conservatives.
Both Coolidge and Davis were exemplary public servants who articulately expounded a similar philosophy of limited government and maximum individual freedom; and the Twenties were in many ways a Golden Age for conservative governance -- foreshadowing its resurgence under Ronald Reagan.
The enduring consequence of the election of 1924 was the philosophical divergence of the two parties -- Democrats leftward and Republicans rightward.
I can only hope that the election of 2008 proves to be as important, and demonstrates the importance of a return to conservative values.
Not a chance. There are too many left=wing ticks on the government payroll for that to happen. The full time job of the pinko left-wing professors at government subsidized universities is to crank out new generations of brainwashed OWS trolls. They will never go away until government and education are entirely separated.
