Distinction Without Difference

"Nice thing about you, Joe, is that you can sound like a liberal, but at heart you're an American."--T.T. Claypoole (The Best Man)

Pundits are promoting next week's election as the most important midterm ever. We've heard this before, of course. And there is some merit to the notion that, as stakes escalate ever higher in winner-take-all democratic votes, every election becomes more important than those before.

 Yet despite the campaign ads claiming the superiority of one political policy over another, Ron Paul reminds us just how close the two warring factions are.

Republicans are the party of WAR...But so are the Democrats.

Democrats are the party of WELFARE...But so are the Republicans.

Democrats are BIG SPENDING SOCIALISTS...But so are the Republicans.

Government Power vs. Individual Liberty

That's the game.

The rest is theatre. pic.twitter.com/mD7QO1Mjgq

When it comes to destruction of liberty, the policies of both sides condone it.

Distinction between these parties amounts to little real difference.
