They are Democrats and Republicans until they are called upon to do the bidding of the richest top .01% at which time they are on the same team. No national politician gets into a key position who is not vetted by this shadow government of the .01%. With the unconstitutional surveillance system that is set up, and being greatly expanded upon, becoming exposed to the light of day the labels of Democrat and Republican are meaningless when applied to those politicians protecting the system. Right now the spying is being justified as defense against foreign enemys but as more and more people become aware of how bad we are being screwed by the criminals that really run this country, Americans will become the enemy that needs to be dealt with and this surveillance system will be invaluable to the few that want to keep the system so much in their favor.
