You actually use a poor example because it makes the "not a dime's worth of difference" argument from the other side. Apparently, one of the best-kept secrets of the 1990s was that Bill Clinton signed most of the items in Newt Gingrich's "Contract with America" into law.

What's pathetic about that era in the history of the Democrat Party is that the Clinton administration bullied the Democratic House and Senate to pass its infamous 1993 budget bill that ended up being a big factor in the "GOP revolution" of 1994. But when Clinton was running for re-election in 1996, he ran around on the campaign trail bawling his eyes out, claiming that he was forced to sign that bill by the Democratic leadership of the House and Senate.

That was a pathetic bunch of losers. My biggest concern today is that I see a lot of that in the Republican Party right now.

“Apparently, one of the best-kept secrets of the 1990s was that Bill Clinton signed most of the items in Newt Gingrich’s “Contract with America” into law.”

Clinton wanted to spend-spend-spend his way out of a recession, but the GOP stopped him. He also wanted Healthcare reform [Hillary Care].

So even this ‘weak’ example works — there are major differences between the parties.
