"To borrow a Clinton election phrase, "it's the spending, stupid".
You've completely missed my point. I was pointing out *differences* between Republicans and Democrats. Remember, your claim was that there wasn't much difference between them.
And I disagreed with your claim by having the courtesy of posting specifics.
Republicans have cut income taxes. Democrats have opposed such income tax cuts.
Republicans have passed the first ever ban on Partial Birth Abortion. Democrats have opposed that ban.
Republicans have funded and implemented our national missile defense system. Democrats have opposed our national missile defense system due to it being in violation of the U.S. - CCCP ABM treaty.
This is not to say that there aren't *more* and better things that Republicans could do on each issue above, but rather, it is to say that there are tangible areas of valid differences between the two major Parties on issues that matter.
OK, so you oppose the Libertarians' promotion of fully open borders to unlimited immigration. You also support actually having a national missile defense system, a Navy, and a Marine/Naval "air force". You even support the current baby-step plan of privatizing Social Security incrementally so that it can eventually be a non-governmental program.
That's great! You've just endorsed most of what Bush has been doing, saving semantic changes in the Marines/air force.
Which is decidedly *NOT* where the Libertarian Party stands, by the way.
Something to think about...
