Freaky Friday Politics: Republicans And Democrats Keep Switching Positions
The two parties are more interested in fighting each other than maintaining a consistent ideology
Democrats and Republicans are pivoting on issues faster than a bipolar swing dancer on a merry-go-round. Republicans are now big government protectionists. Democrats support free trade and states' rights. It's like the two parties switched bodies! It's almost as if… they were FREAKY-FRIDAYED!

I think ReasonTV needs to fire their continuity girl. OR HIRE ONE.
So are Austin and Megadeath Bragg related or not?
"Austin" is Meredith's drag name. It's confusing for everybody.
Hode on nah, i don't believe for a second that either party is into free trade.
RE: Freaky Friday Politics: Republicans And Democrats Keep Switching Positions
Maybe that's why there is no real difference between the two parties.
Since all either major party has ever seemed to care about is getting elected or holding on to power, they will do whatever it takes to do just that, including sounding like the opposite party. This isn't news.
As long as "libertarians" doesn't mean the LP, then I agree. Gary Johnson can go bake his own Nazi cake with his Universal Income.
They consistently chose ex-GOPers to run. Until Bill Weld that is...
