A prerequisite to the above question:
Do the political parties, when elected, implement the policies that they advocate when campaigning?
Are there other affiliations besides party which more accurately predict a politician's actions?
Reagan deregulated, Bush lowered taxes, Clinton balanced budgets and reformed welfare, etc. etc.
Of course the record is not perfect, but in the grand scheme of things, large sweeping points of discussion tend to get attention correlated with the discussion.
