#18 David S: Democrats want to move the country forward, and Republicans are eager to take us backwards.
If that is true, I presume that a change of power from one party to the other is routinely accompanied by substantial reversals of policy. (And no, whether US tax funding of family-planning efforts in the third world can or cannot include abortion, is NOT substantial.)
I cannot think of an instance of this happening.
I would say, rather, that Democrats want to move the country forward at 100 MPH, Republicans think that 90 MPH will get us where they want us to go with less risk of the voters rebelling… and neither one is paying attention to the fact that there is, somewhere up ahead, a cliff…
