2010: Two Parties of the Right Fighting it Out and you have no dog in that Fight

One of the many things Rich doesn't understand is that Democrats in 2010 are way to the right of Democrats of the 1960's. So trying to compare Lyndon Johnson to Harry Reid is comparing apples and oranges. (Please save yourself some typing, I am aware that Lyndon Johnson did some right wing things in his day, but the point is that he was no where near as right wing as are most of the Democrats of 2010.)

When you see the Democrats and Republicans sparring these days, you are looking at two right of center parties fighting it out, nothing more and nothing less. This is why you can forget about, for example, real action for real job creation. All right wing parties are opposed to direct forms of government action for job creation. Whereas Lyndon Johnson was in favor of some direct government job creation.

It should also be noted in this very quick posting that most third world countries are more or less confined to right wing parties for their rosters of parties that can actually win national elections. So this is another one of those little signs that the US has crossed over into third world status.
