Democrats vs. Republicans. Liberals v. Conservatives. Granted, it is understood that many politicians hold more moderate views, and there are other parties, most notably the Independent party, but overall our country swings the arm of the pendulum with one side or the other. We're taught it. Our parents are often associated with a particular party, Republican or Democrat. Bush, for example, can be seen as a moderate. But he is still a Republican. http://www.plamerican.com/community/robdusa/2-party-political-system-u-s#comments Tue, 01 Jul 2008 13:44:54 -0500 robdusa 6071 at http://www.plamerican.com
