Did you bother to watch what happened in Congress yesterday. It seems to me that Republicans are opposing the Democrats on a few important issues, such as whether or not we are going to spy on terrorists. Seems like a real difference to me.

I have plenty I do not like about the party, but their is no equivalency between the two political parties in this country.

That depends on your perspective.

If you view the two platforms in the context of the crusty dusty old outdated Constitution, there’s no difference.

Why bother spying on them, they can just walk across the border. HELLO! The whole WOT is BS.

The chief problem of American political life...has been how to make the two Congressional parties more national and international. The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can ‘throw the rascals out’ at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy.”
