Politicians don't give a fuck about which side of the fence they are on. They will run on a platform to support world wide genocide if that is what their constituent group (voters) wants. Politicians want power and money. That is it.
If you look at the agendas for each political party going back to the beginning of this country, they have traded and swapped sides of the fence as needed to retain their power. Best example is that Lincoln was a Republican. He freed the slaves. Now Republicans are bigots and racists.
The OWL is a pure mob mentality group. The majority of their members just want to be part of something bigger than themselves and could easily be persuaded to commit mass suicide at the direction of a lunatic.
People believe they have the opportunity to vote for representatives who are share similar morals and beliefs. This is completely false. We are not a democracy. The United States is a representative republic. And because those representatives only serve themselves our government is completely disfucktional and useless.
I could go on.. but there isn't much point.

Eh, that was more of a gradual shift and had more to do with southern dixiecrats than the party itself.
Look back further, to washington (+hamilton) + adams presidencies, then the following jefferson presidency. Jefferson busted Federalist balls and then once president removed almost nothing (except i think alien and sedition acts?). Libertarian idol was a motherfucking turncoat, above quote is exact. Founding fathers wanted more economic independence...for themselves...
