MATT DRUDGE
@DRUDGE
It's now Authoritarian vs. Libertarian. Since Democrats
vs. Republicans has been obliterated, no real difference
between parties...

1. LOL!! Matt there is a difference - GOP white sheets and hoods

[davidn3600]

2. When it comes to war....there is ZERO difference between the parties

He's right about that.

Neither party can stop the military industrial complex.

6. You claim is unbelievable. Democrats opposed the Iraq war in large numbers, republicans

cheer leaded for getting into Iraq. Afghanistan was a more complicated war entry.

7. Check the Democrats under Clinton....they were banging the war drums.

Plus didn't Hillary vote for the Iraq war?

14. My Friend From Rwanda

who escaped after the genocide after her husband was killed - still disappointed Clinton did nothing.
My husband from Japan still grateful the American's kicked out the Emperor and Japan is a democracy.

Iraq was a big fat lie, others not always.

12. Iraq War Resolution passed the Senate, 77-23. More than half of all Dems voted yes.

3. the very same group of people he's carried water for forever

Really?

4. This should be a very interesting thread.

I've seen lots of this sort of either/or framing going around DU lately as well.

5. Drudge has always had libertarian leanings

Looks like he's become more open about it.

9. The slogan "No real difference between parties" is by now an established Libertarian strategy

for trying to win votes

10. As a female, myself

With loved ones who can now sleep at night because the Supreme Court upheld the ACA
Yes, there is a difference between the two parties.

[calimary]

13. As a female myself, who's ardently pro choice,

There is a WORLD of difference between the two parties.

As a female myself, who cares deeply about the attempt to restrict (at best) and shut down (at worst) people's right to vote, there is a GALAXY of difference between the two parties.

As a mother with kids who are Millennials, who care as much as I do about the health of our planet and revere science and other inconvenient truths, and don't believe the Bible belongs in science class, there is a UNIVERSE of difference between the two parties.

AND yes I have friends and loved ones who can now sleep at night because the Supreme Court upheld the ACA. I myself can sleep a bit easier at night because both my husband and son are covered now - and they both have pre-existing conditions.

11. I don't trust the GOP or Matt Drudge.

There's no real difference between them, and they have one purpose: defeating Democrats.

[calimary]

15. I don't trust drudge either.

He's only unhappy with his favorite team because they're losers. And NOBODY likes standing with a bunch of losers, especially loony ones like the GOP.
