I've heard libertarians say that there's no difference between left and right. I disagree, here's the difference:
The right are disingenuous about fiscal and regulatory policy
The left are disingenuous about foreign and social policy
If only the opposite were true, and if good policies had more staying power than bad policies, America would be fairly libertarian country. And of course there's no difference between Obama and Bush, McCain and Dodd, Romney and Jerry Brown.
One commonality: Whenever one party enjoys power their constituents are disappointed by that party pandering to special interests.
