Republicans Minus Democrats Equals Zero

Glenn Beck has hit the nail on the head. There is really no difference between Republicans and Democrats.
One can hope that this is the year that real change starts to happen. Not the bogus "change" that Barack Obama hypes, but true political change. Will citizens finally realize that the government is not working for them, but for only for themselves. I wonder how Ron Paul would have fared if this crisis had taken place before the primaries.
One microcosm of this change might be the Encinitas city council race. Running for the 3 open seats (which would constitute a majority) are the 3 incumbents plus 7 or so opponents. Two of the incumbents represent the old guard. In Encinitas' case, this means development, development, more development (not as rampant as Carlsbad but close), opaque government and bad business (as in the Mossy dealership fiasco). Most of the other candidates represent change in one form or another. If the two incumbents win, they and their buddy on the council would still hold a majority and things remain the same. If new blood is elected, then they would team up with Councilwoman Barth to form a new majority.
