I see it as one team ignores the current game and just wants to play a new one, and the other is willing to continue to play the current game while setting up to play in the new one.

Yeah, I should have put the qualifier on that. Thank you for the complete answer.

Shame you never got to vote for Reagan, huh?

I did

neener neener

You have my gratitude for that.

And just so you know, I have flirted with voting for Obama because it is going to be very difficult to vote McCain. The flirtation only lasted about 4 seconds, but it was a flirtation nonetheless.

Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it.

You could still vote for Reagan, ya know... In fact, I encourage you to do just that ;)

Hehehe, I flirted with voting for McCain. But boy has he changed since the days I would have voted for him.

Speaking as someone who has voted for both parties in national elections over the years; the last 8 years have caused me to lose all faith and trust I ever had in the Republican Party and its candidates. Unless the party drastically changes its ways, I will likely never vote for a Republican again. I have never seen such organized corruption, immorality, greed, and just plain nastiness in a political party before.

I've seen equally organized corruption, immorality, greed, and nastiness. I'm just not sure I've seen such institutional secrecy and incompetence.

Same here.

I wouldn't want to paint the whole of the Republican Party with a coat of Bush.
