Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
The party elites are blending. Dems are worse but they both spend too much.
The problem with both parties is that they no longer fear God nor their constituents, so yes they are one and the same!

The GOPe is merely the Demoncraps’ “away jersey”.
Sorry, no sale!
Get back to me when they quit putting up lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberals like Romney for POTUS.
You judge the Party by their base, using that standard no sane person could ever say they are the same, not even close!
No, the author is wide off the mark.
When Republicans behaved just like Democrats, (if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, ....) why is it wrong to call them out? Look closely, Republicans have not been practicing their ideology for how many decades now?
I don’t consider myself ‘outside-the-box thinker’ or ‘the enlightened one’. That attitude from the author is ‘tiresome’.
the parties might not be the same...
but the progressives in both parties sure are
No, they are not the same.
The republicans have supported tyrannical, socialistic, Big Nanny Government only to the first or second power.
The democrats push for TOTAL tyrannical, socialistic, Big Nanny Government - and they have been winning the battle for more than 50 years.
Much of the republican success at the federal level can usually be traced to disgusted voters picking the least worst of two really bad options.
The democrat party cannot be saved - it is too far gone.
The republican party could be saved if they keep their oaths of office and would listen to voters, especially Tea Party and other conservatives.
But establishment republicans are fighting to keep out new blood and conservative idealism.
They would rather protect their position, perks, wealth and power than do what is right for America.
Without a miraculous change in direction both parties are both doomed and will soon both be history anyway - along with the rest of us.
Once they can no longer prop up the economy with borrowed money and fiat currency it will all come crashing down and the survivors will start anew.
I don’t buy the premise that the parties are the same any more than the one that Romney is just as bad as Obama. I’m no fan of Mitt Romney by a long shot, but he doesn’t believe a mixture of Marxist, socialist, and fascist ideologies like President Obama. Also, despite the fact that there are moderate Republicans who collude with the left, there are also some good conservatives. It’s pretty clear the conservatives are simply outnumbered. I remember Bush doing quite a bit of arm twisting in his own party to pass his “compassionate” agenda.
That's because we ARE the enlightened ones.
Both parties may not be the same, but there are too many in the GOP who by all rights ought to be in the treasoncrat party.
Examples:
juan mclame
lindsey grahamesty
olympia snowe
susan collins
Etc
Etc
Etc
Then there is the GOP “leadership” who are closet communists who keep pushing these limp wristed panty wetting RINO’s.
We tell them that we want a Reagan style conservative, they tell us the era of Reagan is dead and give us juan mclame.
We tell them to support those who are supported by the Tea Party, they tell us that we have to support wishy washy RINO’s because conservatives can’t get elected.
Round and round it goes every election cycle.
In the rank and file. In the leadership, not so much.
There is a difference. Under Republicans, Wall Street does good and Main Street doesn’t. Under Democrats, Wall Street does good and Main Street doesn’t. See?
Of course, they’re different.
Democrats are evil.
Republicans are stupid and spineless.
Both seem to be intent on spending us into penury.
Neither is upholding the Constitution. Neither is working for the betterment of the United States. Neither is looking out for American citizens. Neither can pass up an opportunity to line their pockets no matter who it hurts. Nope, sorry, don’t see a difference between the two.
They’re not the same, but...the party establishment of each has no fundamental values except perpetuation and aggrandizement of its national party. It is only the ‘fringe’ members of either party that speak out and stand up for fundamental principles of their party.
I do not think "Democrat Values" are the same.
To name a few existing differences.
