I agree with the above. Both the major parties seem to be so corrupt that I (and others probably) are more concerned with what damage the ruling parties are going to do rather than what good things they can do. Their stance on issues depends on where they are getting their money. Just look at the recent bankruptcy bill and then look where the supporters are getting their money. It is so obvious they don't even hide it anymore.
One area I would like to hear different views on is healthcare and health insurance. While I generally believe in capitalism and competition and therefore free open markets, I just don't see that happening in the healthcare field. I have yet to figure out how to shop for healthcare and compare prices of doctors and such. Since there is no (or little) price competition I am willing to concede that we may as well let the government control it. I would welcome opinions of capitalists from either party why we should not and if not how does one compare prices for medical care.
