Absolutely is. Repubs talk about the need to reduce the size of federal government. Democrats(Obama) actually do it(something like 200,000 fewer federal gov employees). Repubs talk about creating jobs. Dems do it. Repubs talk about how we need to slash spending drastically, cut social and assistance programs drastically, in order to cut debt and spur economic growth. Dems spur economic growth without having to make such disastrous cuts. Repubs preach that government can't do things, and then take office and prove it. Dems fix their f-ups while getting excoriated by them for the pain and costs it takes to do so, or fopr not getting it done fast enough.
Are Democrats perfect? Far from it. They too, cater to the corporate interests and Wall Street far more than they should, and is good for the country. But they're a far better alternative.than the other guys.
You seriously think we'd have been in Iraq if Al Gore had been elected president? That we'd have had the Great Recession?
