Not a Dime's Worth of Difference

Laurence M. Vance / LewRockwell.com:
Not only is there not a "dime’s worth of difference" between the Democrat and Republican Parties when it comes to just about anything, there is certainly no difference at all when it comes to increased federal spending, the expansion of government power, the destruction of liberty, and interventionism in general, both at home and abroad. One quick way to see this is "The Freedom Index," published about every six months by The New American magazine. This index, which used to be called "The Conservative Index," rates Congressman "based on their adherence to constitutional principles of limited government, fiscal responsibility, national sovereignty, and a traditional foreign policy of avoiding foreign entanglements." The higher the number, the stronger is a congressman’s commitment to these constitutional principles.
