has veered so sharply to the right I don't think they should be called the Republican Party.

I think the Tea Party represents the true Republican Party in present day.

The Democratic Party has veered so sharply to the right, they have become the Ronald Reagan Republicans.

The Progressives, Greens, and Democratic Socialists, and Socialists stick with their platform and continue to be marginalized and demonized.

The Dirty Fucking Hippies were right !!!

That's my 2 cents.
