The Diference between Republicans and Democrats again is...

[kaz]

Republican W came in to fix Slick Willy's spending orgy and then spent us into the ground, including adding a prescription drug welfare benefit to greatly expand Medicare and he raised Social Security taxes through the roof.

But W was getting us into all these military conflicts and Obama came in to fix that, so he finished Iraq according to W's timeline, expanded Afghanistan and has gotten us into more wars like Libya and now he's trying to get us into Syria.

I can't remember, what's the difference between both your pathetic parties again?

What's funnier is how you tell me I'm throwing my vote away by not voting for either of you. When you figure out how you're different, let me know.

If you are a conservative and dissatisfied with the republican party then quit whining and get off your ass and try to make a difference in the Tea Party. If you are a democrat and don't think the DNC is radical enough your choices are also clear. Support the OWS or go communist.

George Wallace was right!

The difference between Republicans and Democrats...

Spelling?

The Despotcrats take away your economic liberties.

The Repugnatcans take away your civil liberties.

However, both parties continue the trends of the previous party in power, neither party reverses the damage done by the other. I'm pretty sure the NSA has been functioning hard core since 2004

For one, Republicans are 90% white and based mostly in the Confederate South. Democrats are "everyone else".

Libya wasn't our war. And the people of Libya thanked Obama for the help he gave.

The Iraqi's threw shoes at Bush.

Clinton hardly had a spending orgy when he left Bush a surplus. Or would have, but Bush and the Republicans made sure that never happened.

You don't sound very bright to me. Perhaps you should do a little research? You might benefit from it.

There is never going to be a massive difference between Centre-Left and Centre-Right -all the more reason why the endless obsession on this board with socialism is so funny.

Well, that's nonsense of course - but I suppose paranoia and self-vicitimisation are the hallmarks of the new crypto-fascists.

Just keep telling yourself -"I AM oppressed! I really am!"

seems you're a tad bit deranged ...
now for the difference ...
republicans will try their best to take every dime you have ... they will steel your retirement... they will take your health care away from you .... they will go war only to serve their corporate bosses needs ... while telling you this is the patriotic thing to do ... and lie about why you are going to war ....

democrats will make sure republicans give the money back they stole from you forcing them republicans to be fair .... Dems will give you a health care plan that doesn't cost you through the nose ... and dems will only go to war when evil is really challenging your way of life and not lie to you about it ...

with all of the spending that clinton did, were you better off financially under his spending or bush's spending ??? I know I was better off financially under clinton ... also under clintons spending, corporations were offering you huge somes of money to come and work for them ... where under bush it was hard for you to find a job that would pay worth a damn... so you tell us whose better off .... you under clintions spending or you under bush's spending

Some things never change...

"Republicans approve of the American farmer, but they are willing to help him go broke. They stand four-square for the American home--but not for housing. They are strong for labor--but they are stronger for restricting labor's rights. They favor minimum wage--the smaller the minimum wage the better. They endorse educational opportunity for all--but they won't spend money for teachers or for schools. They approve of social security benefits-so much so that they took them away from almost a million people. They think modern medical care and hospitals are fine--for people who can afford them. They believe in international trade--so much so that they crippled our reciprocal trade program, and killed our International Wheat Agreement. They favor the admission of displaced persons--but only within shameful racial and religious limitations.They consider electrical power a great blessing--but only when the private power companies get their rake-off. They say TVA is wonderful--but we ought never to try it again. They condemn "cruelly high prices"--but fight to the death every effort to bring them down. They think American standard of living is a fine thing--so long as it doesn't spread to all the people. And they admire of Government of the United States so much that they would like to buy it."
President Harry S. Truman - October 13, 1948

One wants to take away your abortion rights and the other wants to take away you right to bear arms

Good post – out of rep for you atm. That is likely the most accurate distinction between the two that I have seen to date.

NO ONE has proposed taking away anyone's right to bear arms. That is typical right wing bullshit.

That was a point that the OP seemed to be supporting. Bush can in to fix the spending and then proceeded to ‘fix’ it by spending more than Clinton ever dreamed. The left here should be supportive of Bush, he followed all their standard plugs – expanded spending, entitlements and government in general. Of course, they ARE supportive of Bush policies now that they are ‘Obama’s’ policies but that is another issue altogether…

By the way, it is rather funny to see the Medicare expansion complained about here by the dems. The height of hypocrisy.

Liberals don't support hooking up corporations to the taxpayer's tit. THAT is exactly what Medicare D is. I still recall Ted Kennedy arguing on the floor of the Senate that the bill should allow negotiating drug prices like the Veterans Administration. But Bush FORBID it.

Liberals believe in PAYING FOR what they spend. Research PAYGO, then see how many Republicans voted for it.
