Libertarian Policy Expert Peter Ferrara says there’s a Huge Difference between Major Parties

Libertarians and others who see no difference - "gullible boobs"

From Eric Dondero:

Many Libertarians, particularly those in the Libertarian Party, like to say there's "no difference between the Democrats and Republicans." Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dum is their common refrain.

Now, top libertarian policy analyst Peter Ferrara is taking fellow libertarians and others on the Right to task for being sucked into Obama's seeming "post-partisanship." Ferrara points out that with a straight party-line vote on Health Care, and near Party-line vote on Cap & Trade, the old Tweedle-dee, Tweedle-dum line has become obsolete.

Ferrara argues that Obama has proven to be the ultimate Uber-Leftist extremist Partisan.

Excerpt from "Too Many Democrats in Washington" at AS Political Hay.

From the American Spectator Dec. 23:

The Senate's votes this week on the pending government takeover of health care are highly instructive. With all 60 Democrats voting yes, and all 40 Republicans voting no, the simplistic homily that there is no difference between the parties has now proven to be a very costly fallacy...

the House passed the President's cap and trade tax bill on a virtual party line vote. Then the House did the same with its health bill. Now we have the completely partisan Senate vote as well...

This has been a persistent pattern all year. When campaigning for office in 2008, candidate Obama promised the American people a new era of post-partisanship, where he would bring Democrats and Republicans together to solve the nation's problems. There was nothing in Obama's ultraliberal background to suggest he would be remotely capable of this. Sure enough, since his election, this promise of post-partisanship has proven to be boob bait for the gullible.

He goes on to call so-called moderate Democrat Senators Ben Nelson, Jim Webb, Mark Warner, Blanche Lincoln and Evan Bayh, "phonies," who have "duped the voters of their state."

Ferrara continues, that in contrast to the Republicans:

Democrats are the party of Big Government bureaucracy and runaway government spending.
