If you don’t read any other article this week, please take the time to read this one.  Our friends over at JuicyMaters has done a wonderful job of breaking down the major divisions of the two dominant political parties and discussing their philosophies.  How are the Republicans and Democrats alike?  How are they different?  How do Democrats differ from progressives?  Many of these issues are discussed in this article.
