If you care about these issues, and I think you do, you owe it to yourself to dwell on the differences between the parties instead of the similarities. There are real differences between what Republicans and Democrats want to do. Talking like they are the same, like you do, is a ticket to cheap cynicism instead of the possibility of making things better.
