There is no better argument against the "Democrats are no different than Republicans" canard than seeing someone attempt to defend it.
Today's exemplar is provided by Jon Walker of Firedoglake, who offers up this piece of analytical roadkill. Mr. Walker does us all a good favor, by showing that the argument that that "Democrats=Republicans" is so weak that anyone buying it could not win a policy debate with a bowl of Cheerios. Wear your asbestos goggles, because teh stupid burns below.

It seems disingenuous for those who consider Barack Obama and Democrats to be spineless wimps who just want to suck up to Republicans to suggest that they wouldn't get rolled by a triumphant GOP returning to power with an electoral mandate.
Stupidity is the enemy of progress and progressives. If anyone peddles stupidity trying to dampen progressive opposition to Republican rule, they're not on your side.
