who gives a shit. people who still believe there is a difference between the republican and democratic party are as oblivious and ignorant as they come and i couldn't care less about their opinion regarding politics because their world view is as complex as a 6 year old child's
there are similarities for sure, but there are BIG differences, and they are getting bigger as the repubes become more extreme
If you believed your line of thinking in 2000 and lived in Florida, if you voted you probably voted for Nader. You effectively put in one of the
dumbest presidents in history into the Oval Office in George "Dubya" Bush. We would not have invaded Iraq, losing 4000+ Americans and killing 100,000+ Iraqis if Gore were president.
Stalwart republicans like Goldwater, Nixon and Reagan could not be elected dog catcher of the republican party of today.
