Is there any chance that Democrats and Republicans will be replaced by

Coke vs. Pepsi, Apple vs. Dell, Remington vs. Smith and Wesson?

I would assume the sooner or later the corporations have to take aim at each other, once they overwhelm the Democrats and Republicans.

1. No. This is about PERMANENT GOP rule.

This is as partisan a decision as Bush v. Gore. The GOP IS the party of corporate America, some bribery of Democrats notwithstanding.

2. Sooner or later, that won't be enough for corporations. They feed on

profit, so they will eventually want to expand their market share into the opponents market.

Maybe they can make a bottle of Jack Daniels tax deductible!

3. They don't NEED the opponents

The GOP IS the party of the wealthy and the financial elite and Big Biz. There will be no Democratic Party anymore.

Using "corporate" rhetoric merely covers up what is REALLY going on.

4. I doubt it, but if it does . . .

. . . twenty years from now the Pepsi-Dell-Remington candidate will be explaining why this country can't afford single payer computer repair insurance except for corporation representatives and people still running XP.
