I don't ascribe to either party ideaology. I happen to think that most solutions fall somewhere in the middle. I think the Democrats, at least the extreme ones, do become anti-big-business simply because, if they don't, the extremist Republicans will blow them over with their big-business-screw-the-worker mentality. Notice I said extremist in both cases. I happen to believe the majority of the country doesn't fall into either category but unfortunately the party planks often move towards the extremes. The rest of the voters, in order to belong and gain power, are forced to conform to those planks.
My own views are directly between both party beliefs. I know that some regulation is required to prevent human greed from bastardizing large business and their incredible political power and that unions, in spite of their early good intentions, become self-perpetuating in giving power to their leadership and become corrupt easily.
When I said "pro-business Republicans" I meant the more extreme of the party that put big business ahead of all else in the world. Please don't trivialize the discussion with this silly labeling. I simply looked for a term in the short title that portrayed the gist of the discussion.

- "Will the sky fall if Kerry wins?" No it won't. You are correct. If he is elected, Kerry's policies will differ little from those of Bush. (n/t)
