The U.S. has only one political party. It is the Republican Party.
Oh, they let the Dems in once in a while just to let the " Repubs" rest up. The dominance of the party is not a bunch of boot kickers or even a bunch of boot lickers.
Politics works in this country. We know how to govern and further we get life for all of us better.
Government is a business.. Each Congressman or senator has a staff the size of a small business, which it is. The U.S. and the world of the settled have tried different forms of governing.. There is only one right way - people sending representatives to government to serve the needs of the supporters.
Do other parties actually matter?
