Difference between Dem and Rep, about a nickle

The difference between a democrat and a republican is less than a nickle.

They both:

1. Use the military when it suits their needs : Kennedy almost took us to nuclear war over Cuba, LBJ escalated Vietnam, Carter botched a military rescue in Iran, Clinton took us to Bosnia, Reagan used military in Panama and Greneda, both H and W did the Persian Gulf.
2. Both support tax and spend. The republicans want taxes to be 30 - 35% the democrats want it to be 35 - 40%. Bottom line: both want tax and spend.
3. For all the talk about civil rights both have used the Secret Service, FBI, Treasury, and DOJ to watch and listen to what we say for decades.
4. Regardless of the "talk" about ethics and values both dems are reps are very human and very flawed: JFK was a womanizer, LBJ was a womanizer, Nixon a liar to protect his own skin, Clinton a liar to protect his own skin and a womanizer, Newt a womanizer, Hillary a liar, Julianni a womanizer...

So, get a grip on your emotions. TALK IS CHEAP. LOOK AT THE ACTIONS AND THE RESULTS. There isn't 5 cents difference at a macro level.
