Over the last year or so, there has been a lot of talk by some prominent commentators pretending to be conservatives that there is essentially no difference between the two parties. After yesterday’s health-care vote, can we retire such silliness? The differences between the two parties are profound — and whatever you think of John McCain, he would not have championed this monstrosity. (In fact, McCain’s health-care plan was quite good in many respects.)
We’re reminded, once again, and in this case to our dismay, that elections matter.
