There is a difference at the moment. Republicans want to defund PP. All that does is kick the democrat Hive-mind.
In case you haven't noticed, the Rs talk a good game and do nothing. Ultimately they will do nothing about PP as they have on so many other issues.
So, once again, there is little difference in what the two parties DO. They talk differently merely to dupe their followers and this amazingly works on many Americans.
All that does is piss people off...at the Republicans!! They are playing with peoples emotions and they know the consequences. If they think they can focus this additional anger at democrats, they miscalculated.
The Democrats are marching unabashed to the right. Democrats are looking for consolidation of their works from the last 6 years. They have turned right wingers head into a fireworks display for Liberalism!
I doubt the base could get any more infuriated than Gay marriages and Obamacare. Increase in welfare recipients, slow recovery and corporate welfare hasn't pissed them off either?
Maybe the message the Republicans are trying to send their base is "We surrender"?
