NY Times correspondent on democrats and republicans

[Montecresto]

At least somebody sees the dog and pony show for what it is. Wonder why this obvious observation is so difficult for SO many to see?


Mark Leibovich, the chief national correspondent for the New York Times Magazine, says that at a time when select parts of the federal government are shut down over partisan feuds, there isn’t a real difference between Democrats and Republicans in Washington anymore.

The author of “This Town: Two Parties and a Funeral-Plus, Plenty of Valet Parking!-in America’s Gilded Capital,” Leibovich believes members of both parties make up a “huge” political “insider class” made up of “political careerists.”


“These are all people who might be yelling at each other on the House floor or on cable or something, but they’re cutting deals in the green room,” Leibovich said. “They’re going out and giving speeches and doing these dog and pony shows about, ‘Oh we disagree’ — it’s one big kabuki.”

He summarized the situation: “What you’re seeing here is not a [capitol] that’s hopelessly divided — it’s hopelessly interconnected.”
“Oh yeah, this is not a Democrat or Republican book. There’s no such thing as Democrats and Republicans anymore,” Leibovich responded simply.


The only solution, the author said, is for people to “keep telling the truth,” because the “bull crap” in Washington “is not sustainable.”

What's the matter billy. Did I lift that blanket and expose you for the partisan hack that you are. And name calling is what your reduced to. How would you be more aware of inside the beltway politics than Mark Leibovich?

 

[Montecresto]

You hear that a lot these days, that there is no difference between the Democrats and the GOP. Both of America's political parties are run by corporations. So it doesn't matter which you vote for, the results will be the same. You equally hear that we need a third party that will be ideologically pure and immune from influence by special interest money. Good points all.
