Of course they fail to deliver on both of these platforms almost every time, but that doesn't stop them from selling it again.
One of my all time favorite Daily Show moments was when John Stewart asked Huckabee, "So your platform is basically, 'we are the part to fix what our party fucked up'?" and Huckabee just kind of smiled and nodded yes.
Of course the democrats aren't a whole lot different, but normally they just run on the platform of "we aren't them".

In my life time partisanship has always had a presence but what is good for the country used to have a presence also...but now it seems...to me...to be just about what is good for the party...and there is not a dime's worth of difference between the two parties. Spend...spend...spend and grow the size of government...is basically all either party does. The combined "leadership"...or rather the lack of leadership...has put our country on a tightrope and many more mis-steps and our country will fall off of that tightrope. I personally think that we will stumble along for a few more years...10 or so...and then fall off of the tightrope. I hope that I am not around to see it.
