A or B, both equal C?

For those of you who continuously say there is no difference between the Republican and Democratic Party, I say the votes scheduled and the bills passed offer ample proof to make you all a joke.

Now, I only have NY specific information, with the entire vote in "( )", but we can see a CLEAR difference:

Recent Senate Votes
U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans' Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007 - Vote Agreed to (51-46, 3 Not Voting)

The Senate gave final approval to this $124 billion bill that funds military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and sets a timetable for the withdrawal of troops from Iraq.

Wild Horse Protection Bill - Vote Passed (277-137, 18 Not Voting)

This House bill would prohibit the Bureau of Land Management from selling wild horses or burros to be slaughtered for commercial use.

Rep. Thomas Reynolds voted YES (would wild horse preservation even come up under a Republican controled House?)
