Oh, grow up. We don't need a "sex party", and President Obama is NOT the one who has been "screwing the country for a year now". It is uber-traitors McConnell and Boehner who are doing that.
And yes, there is a huge difference between the Republicans and the Democrats. The Republicans no longer believe in personal liberties, unless the 'person' happens to be a money-grabbing corporation. The Democrats do believe in "personal liberties", but only in their own revisionist version of them, where they confuse 'liberty' and 'libertine', crying 'foul' whenever anyone points out to them how they have changed the definition of the word from what the Founding Fathers used (cf. Montesquieu 'On Liberty').
Sure, both parties are too weak to resist the money-influence of lobbyists, but there is still a big difference here too, compatible with what I mentioned above: the Democrats respond to union lobbyists as much as to industry, while the Republicans are MUCH more beholden to industry.
Finally, especially in the last few decades, the Republican Party has become incredibly anti-science. They appeal not only to the Creationists, but to the equally unscientific deniers of "climate change", and the even more unscientific deniers of Keynesianism.
