That's an interesting perspective, but there are many situations where the 
two parties are the exact opposite of what you're saying here.

I find a more accurate description is their stance on regulation.  Democrats 
favor heavy regulation and Government involvement, Republicans want to be 
left alone.  Though this, too, is sometimes inaccurate.

Maybe if the parties made more sense, I'd be able to pick one and stick to 
it.  The way things are, though, I usually just pick the candidate that's 
going to do the least amount of damage.
