Republican v. Democrat

Until the 2008 election I had always voted Republican with one exception- I voted Libertarian once for state representative.
Our choice now basically boils down to socialism v. socialism lite, and I will support neither.
You know you're getting old when you can recall a time when there was an honest difference between the two "major" parties.

George Wallace said it when he ran as a third party candidate for President in 1968 - there's not a dime's worth of difference between the Democrats and the Republicans.
Wasn't true then, I don't imagine, and if it isn't true now, it's close....

A ..nickel's worth of difference?
A ..penny's worth?
A ..peso's worth?

To jman1961: Your comment stimulated a thought for me. I never thought I would look back fondly, in any respect, on the George Wallace 1968 campaign. I was 25 years old at the time and set in my ways. I thought I knew it all. He was absolutely right about there not being a dimes worth of difference between the parties--at least on the national level--at least at this time.

To Victor83: I agree with your comment in everything except one point. You will have to say it in Spanish.
