    Of course there are. Lots of them.

    Just maybe not any that matter to you.

    Actually there is a world of difference between the two parties. Sometimes it is not apparent if one just looks at Washington DC. However, as I pointed out in another post, if one considers what Republican governors are doing contrasted to some democrat governors they would see the difference.

    Matters a lot to me to have a difference. What have you been doing since the 60s? Voting for liberal Republican after liberal Repubican?

    Voting for who I considered the best qualified candidate. What about you?

    Just complaining about the choices and throwing away your vote on...who?

    Or stomping your foot in a fit over the choices and not voting at all?

    Fact is there are plenty of differences. If you can't see them, you're just not paying attention.

    There is a world of difference in the various Republican and democrat candidates for president since 1964.

    1964: Contrast Goldwater with Johnson

    1968: Contrast Nixon with Humphrey

    1972: Contrast Nixon with McGovern

    1976: Contrast Ford with Carter

    1980: Contrast Reagan with Carter

    1984: Contrast Reagan with Mondale

    1988: Contrast Bush 41 with Dukakis

    1992: Contrast Bush 41 with Clinton

    1996: Contrast Dole with Clinton {a wash}

    2000: Contrast Bush 43 with Gore

    2004: Contrast Bush 43 with Kerry

    2008: Contrast McCain with Obama {McCain was a moderate by any definition but Obama is a Marxist}

    2012: Contrast Romney with Obama {Romney was a moderate by any definition but Obama is a Marxist}

    So as much as I admire The American Dream he is simply flat wrong!

    Every democrat listed was a screaming liberal/leftist. Clinton was politically smart enough to move rightward after the Republicans took control of Congress! The rest were simply milder versions of Obama!

    Very good post - all I would add - is that each D-candidate normally went left a bit more - little by little.

    Let me use my Stop smoking analogy.
    Back in 1966 all they wanted was a simple message that stated "Caution: Cigarette Smoking May be Hazardous to Your Health" So what is the problem with that? In itself nothing. - then in 1970 it changed to Warning: The Surgeon General Has Determined that Cigarette Smoking is Dangerous to Your Health. Over the years - they have demanded more and more - but little by little. Now its to the point (based on State/Commonwealth Law) you can not even smoke in your own car -with windows up - in a parking garage. Mind you, I am glad for some of the laws - ie no smoking in a restaurant, ect. But IMHO - now they are encroaching on personal freedom.
    Same with the Liberals - they are trying to take us to the Left - little by little and we don't even realize it.

    A very apt description of how the left has gradually changed this country. Never done it but supposedly you can put a frog in water bring it to a boil and it will not jump out! Anyhow, whether the story is true or not, this country is in seriously hot water!

    It seems to me the more liberal you become, the farther away from the Gospel of Christ you get.

    Liberals believe in pro-choice, gay marriage, redistribution of people's money (theft) etc... To name a few. Not saying there not saved if given there lives to Jesus of course, but there policies seem to be greatly missing the mark. And there are many liberal minded people who just distort Gods word for there own social causes.

    Not with guys like you around.

    Evidently following the constitution and defending liberty is less important than electing another animated CFR teleprompter reader.

    Don't worry you'll get whatever you'll put up with again.
