Here is my completely cynical take. At the national level, the differences between the two parties don't amount to a hill of beans. The differences in rhetoric are just so much window dressing. The two major parties are engaged in a scramble for power ie money. There's plenty of money floating around the halls of Congress from special interests and special sweetheart deals for your pals, etc.,etc. Halliburten is only one of the more obvious examples of this.
In my latest round of e-mails to Congress (sent to both Republican and Democratic representatives), I have discovered that most of them don't even deign to send form letters to their constituents anymore.
The State level is slightly better, but not by much.
