That is a pretty good take on things. The only thing I would disagree with is the degree of credibility you give the GOP. To put it my way, there is a difference between the two major parties, it just takes an electron microscope to see it. I think the two Senators from my state illustrate the point in clarity. I live in Kentucky, and our Senators are Paul and McConnell. Mitch McConnell is a typical, big government, establishment politician, more concerned with his political power than governing by the Constitution. When Rand Paul ran in the Republican Primary, Mitch opposed him vigorously. Paul won by 58% of the vote, and about the same margin in the General Election. Paul represents what the Republican Party needs to be, or at least a step towards it. Until people like McConnell are taken out of leadership (hope we the people of Kentucky solve that in 2014) and office, and are replaced by Paul type leadership, the gap will remain narrow with the Democrats.
Other than that, we agree. Here is a question to ponder though, which is worse, the deceit of the Obama administration or the Nixon administration? They both played games with the IRS, and personally, I believe either would stop at nothing to acheive their goals if they can get by with it. Nixon did not.
