I too scoff at ‘Not a dime’s worth of difference’.

So when Clinton wanted to spend our way out of the Bush Recession, the GOP said ‘No’, and we came incredibly close to a balanced budget.

No difference? Lenin’s peasants were smarter than that!

You actually use a poor example because it makes the "not a dime's worth of difference" argument from the other side. Apparently, one of the best-kept secrets of the 1990s was that Bill Clinton signed most of the items in Newt Gingrich's "Contract with America" into law.

What's pathetic about that era in the history of the Democrat Party is that the Clinton administration bullied the Democratic House and Senate to pass its infamous 1993 budget bill that ended up being a big factor in the "GOP revolution" of 1994. But when Clinton was running for re-election in 1996, he ran around on the campaign trail bawling his eyes out, claiming that he was forced to sign that bill by the Democratic leadership of the House and Senate.

That was a pathetic bunch of losers. My biggest concern today is that I see a lot of that in the Republican Party right now.
