There really isn't a whole lot of difference between the Dems and GOP at this point.

While I understand the sentiment behind that statement, I have to respectfully disagree. The GOP has certainly moved to the left and look a lot like the Dems. But the Dems have also moved to the left and are more and more becoming socialists. So there is a difference. One is far left. The other is only left.

The end result is that the whole political debate moves to the left. This is a victory for liberalism, if not for the Democratic Party. Likewise,, it is a defeat for conservatism, if not for the GOP. The two major parties offer a choice between big government and bigger government. The conservative option of smaller government is becoming politically obsolete and will continue to do so as long as we continue to excuse the GOP's slide to the left just because the Dems are even farther to the left.

What is needed is a Goldwater type revolt within the GOP. I've got my eye on Mike Pence.
