That was my point. It is ridiculous to claim there is not difference between the parties.
Well I did say spending and civil liberties and you can make the case that marriage with government regulations is an attack on our liberties. Just because you or I are not affected by the regulation doesn't mean that someone is not....
On the difference. I have long made a case that the "moderates" aren't really that different in either party. The difference is that now we have the conservative movement in the GOP and the socialist movement inside the Democrats So it's easier to see who sticks out and the moderates are sticking out now as the socialist/conservative movements grow. And that is a good thing. We need to focus on what we can agree on and debate fiercely what we do not. Instead of this mushy mish mash of out of control spending to get relected
