"Pretending there is no difference between Dems and the GOP is absurd. "

Well, you know, Veracruz is right...the difference that I can articulate at this juncture is that the Dims opposed our involvement in Iraq, and the 'Pubs supported it. Am I missing anything?

The 'Pubs may *say* they stand for a different set of policies and values than the Dims, but I'm not seeing that played out in the resulting behavior. So I guess we can add that the 'Pubs *say* different stuff than the Dims. But I don't want different rhetoric, I want different behavior. That's my perspective, friend. Calling that "rabidly juvenile" only seems, well, rabidly juvenile.

Yes, dear.... quite a bit. New to politics, are you?

Pretending that the laws and policies coming from D.C. would be the same whether there is a Dem or Republican in the White House is idiotic. It is, however, rational to state that the GOP isn't as conservative as we would prefer... either is the American public. We change that through educating them, not spouting off moronic and false generalities.
