How much difference do you see between the parties?

The author Donald Westlake, a very liberal RC, dedicated his recent book Put A Lid On It (it's very funny--you should read it!) this way:

My old friend Mickey Schwerner, who was murdered with James Chaney and Andy Goodman on a berm in Mississippi the night of June 21, 1964 by a group of political cretins, once in conversation described the American two-party system to me in these words, with which I have never found reason to argue: "It's the same old story," he said. "The moochers versus the misers."
