However, when you pick only issues where there appears to be a continuation of course you can be an idiot and say, "What's the difference?"

Let's go with a big one here. On the stimulus bill, the Republicans' response would have been $500 billion in tax cuts for the rich and no spending. What we did was tax cuts for everyone, aid to local governments, infrastructure, investments in health care and education, housing aid, investments in research through the NIH and NSF, etc. That was an $800 billion three year spending program. Bitch all you want about it not being big enough or well structured enough, but to say that it was a Republican bill is bullshit and you know it.
