The two-party system in this country seems more like a one-party system with each passing year. The electoral implication, of course, is that it doesn't matter which party you vote for because you'll get the same results either way. To put this theory to the test, I decided to compile a list of basic actions and results of the last five presidents with their names--and party affiliations--withheld. Let me know if you can see a difference between the Democrats and Republicans:
