Parallels: The lefties in general criticize the invasion of Iraq, supported Hussein's right to continued dictatorship, sent protesters (and elected officials) to Baghdad decrying the U.S. invasion, declare that the U.S. deserved September 11th and that it's Tony Blairs fault that London's mass transits were bombed, and continuously praise Castro for his excellent management of Cuba (great health-care and schools, natch). And when push came right down to shove in the 2004 election, Bill Clinton advised John Kerry to drop support for gay marriage (you know, Bill Clinton, the "first black President" who signed the Defense of Marriage Act and who utterly caved in on the gays in the military issue; his wife, apparently, suffers from the same lack of conviction).

It's the result of the rather limited 2 party system. As the 2 parties are really only divided on a few key issues, all the other issues will be spread throughout both parties.

Republicans and Democrats=2 cheeks of the same arse

Bill and Hilary=scumbags
