Personally, I don’t see why everyone thinks the party labels mean much of anything at all anyway.
As everyone knows, I despise John McCain. I also wish I could wake up tomorrow and find that he was president, Cindy was first lady, and we didn't have the bunch of crooks and Marxists currently infesting the cabinet and the White House West Wing.
I don't think McCain would have tried to get the military to pay for their injuries with their own insurance. I am certain McCain wouldn't have taken over GM or passed a porkulus bill. And I am positive McCain wouldn't have signed the pro-abortion executive orders.
So, to me there is QUITE a bit of difference.
