Oh right. No one ever says there's no difference between the two 
parties. No one here has recently claimed that Kerry is a Republican, 
either. I just make this shit up.
I don't know why you & your comrades keep ignoring the second part of 
my standard formula. So, let me repeat this, in words as close to one 
syllable as I can manage: There are some differences between the D & 
R parties. They make a difference in people's lives and should not be 
dismissed. But there are enough similarities that having a Dem in 
power that it makes people more open to a radical analysis because 
they're more likely to see The System as a problem rather than a 
party or personnel.

In excitement: Ahah! That is a far superior version of the Lenin's paraphrase re Support-the-SD's-like-a-rope-supports-a-hanged-man -
Than the version I offered PEN. If I recall Caroll: Indeed, Doug is right - because you did seem to take that as an opportunity to lecture me. Not that I do not deserve t as regards the USA scene. Anyway,
