What Voters fail to realize in American Politics-is that it doesn't matter WHO you vote for, they are all the same. Sure, under one party, gay marriage is legal, and one isn't. But, what it all boils down to is not values, not statistics, it boils down to charsima, leadership, and money. Money is power, and power equates to more votes. The more money you spend on attacking your opponent, the more votes you get. Is this what we call a 'democracy' or a 'republic'? People think that what party is in office will influence the success or productivity of the nation. We all know this is false. The economy-it has NOTHING to do with the President. Sure, if he or his friends in congress pass some type of regulation, yes it will be affected. But, we live in a world, where the consumers determine the direction of the economy. [While it is actually MUCH more complicated, this is just a broad statement]
