Actually I have said it. The problem is most people think that they are two entities, no they are not, one has bought and paid for the other. The problem on the Democrat side of the aisle is that they think the Govt.(owned by banks, oil, insurance, etc) should have regulatory control over the banks, oil, insurance companies. The problem on the Republican side of the aisle is that they think Capitalism equates with free markets, individual liberty and Jesus Christ. Neither view is correct. The truth is that the corporations control the govt of the US, notice who got the stimulus? How many people are still looking for that "shovel ready job"? What we have is socialism for the sake of the Capitalists/Industrialists.
