They might mouth different platitudes, but they both are in favor of growing the federal gov't both size and scope of powers not granted to it by the constituion.
If you think that the different colors of window dressing that they each respectivelty use are actually important, I pity you.
I never said that so why no argue with yourself if you are only going to invent things.
There are of course some differences. They are largely differences in scope and detail. Fundamental differences in philosophy are harder to ascertain. Republicans advocate NEW entitlement programs like PRESCRIPTION DRUG BENEFITS and others. Democrats of course want a bigger transfer payment, but they share a vision on the fundamental idea. Democrats want government to grow 6% per year, forever. Republicans argue for 3%. Forever. Spending and the growth of government under Republicans has been faster percentage wise than under Democrats. It would be amazing, if someone actually believed they were going to SHRINK government. I could go on, but it seems pointless. You balloon will not be popped by me I'm afraid.
Of course, maybe there's enough of us with our heads outta the sand to protect you. But boy, thats a big chance your taking....
There are heads in the sand, but mine isn't one of them. You will never protect me, your current mindset makes it impossible.
And if you think I'm uninvolved in changing things, you are so sadly mistaken. I'll bet anything you want that I am more engaged than you.
I'm just not engaged in whistling past the graveyard.
