Obviously, I think we'd benefit from a larger, multiparty system, but the parties are absolutely /not/ the same, and to state that they are is sort of ridiculous, especially in the wake of the Iraq War. Yes, Democrats voted for it, but not because they wanted to give Bush carte blanche to go in. They were wrong, of course. It's amazing how swiftly people forget what the Bush years were actually like. I mean, do you really think a Republican would've put regulations in place that stopped the Pfizer/Allegran inversion/merger?
