Sorry, GfinS, but I have no clue as to what debate you are watching... The Repubs found themselves with a "free shot" at taking out some of the New Deal and they took it... The fact that the Dems realized that, yes, there are some seriously crazy people in the House who lied their way into office with promises of jobs and then stripped off their sheep clothing, pulled out their assault rifles and started firing at the New Deal is ***not*** evidence that both parties are the same...

Lose that song from your repertoire... It's old, thread worn and sucks... And is an out right lie...

And while you are at it take the blinders off and earplugs out and join 2011... This ain't 2000 anymore... Hasn't been for a long, long time... How long??? $7T worth of Bush's spending spree, that's how long...
