>>Are we a single party system with two faces? << I don't think it's the parties that are so close together. I think it's the way the Congress is set up which requires either overwhelming power for one side or else close cooperation between at least two sides to have power. The littler sides, Socialism, Communism, Populism, Green, Libertarian, and so forth, have to either become part of the largest party or else part of the second largest party to get anywhere. Speaking as a Republican, there are multiple strands -- Bush is a Big Government Republican. There are Country Club Republicans, and Libertarian Republicans, and Religious Right Republicans and Paleoconservative Republicans and Neoconservative Republicans and Log Cabin Republicans (gay) and more. I know Republicans who revere Jefferson and others who hate him. I know Republicans who revere Lincoln and others who hate him. I know Libertarian Republicans and Republicans who call Libertarians "lazy fairies." I know Religious Right Republicans and Republicans who believe in separation of Church and State. Not monolithic at all.
