Oh, I'm just kibitzing from across the Atlantic. But it doesn't really matter what people are like socially - I'm sure there are nice Republicans and there is a subset of Democrat machine politics people I would no doubt regard as awful if I met them - it matters what the actual policy enacted and its effects are.

On the policy front they don't end up that different either. They just use smoke and mirrors to make it look that way. Keeps people aggravated.
