Not at all. Those of us who understand the democratic fraud as
practiced in the US have always recognized that the two-party swindle
requires maintenance of the illusion of significant differences
between the Eagle's two right wings. So when the Dimbos have the job
of enforcing capitalist repression the Repugs have to bloviate "right"
in order to show a "real" difference, just as the Dimbos always bloviate
"left" when the job is given to the Repugs. Look at Obama's Heritage-
Foundation "Health Care" plan. Because a Repug plan to save the
health-insurance industry was to be introduced by a Dimbo president,
the Repug's role of course was to oppose it from the "right." So who
was tailing whom?
