Neither do I. But I see far more of it amongst the Republicans.

That’s not my viewpoint. I don’t think the right is evil, and I don’t hold the left as saints. Life is never that simple. Please do not assume I am simple as well.

Never did. If you expect me to not assume about you- do the same for me.

The Republican Party has too much power currently. No party should control both Congress and the White House. Power leads to corruption. I used to have respect for the Republican Party. Now… not so much. To much emphasis on retaining power at all cost, too little regard for what is best for the country.

Then I also expect you to vote for the opposite party depending on who holds congress in '08. Or else you are as gulity of the hypocrisy you accuse others of.

Is that all you can come up with? Old, empty, tired sloganeering?

I am not sloganeering- I am stating what I believe will happen.

They may raise taxes, but could it really make anything worse? The economy is going down the toilet, the Republicans cut taxes for the very rich, and they are bleeding money into Iraq like it’s going out of style. I don’t see much in the way of fiscal responsibility there.

While I agree there needs to be more fiscal reponsibility- the economy is not going down the toilet. I work in finance- so I am in it daily. You cut taxes for the rich because they pay the majority of taxes. Cutting taxes for people who don't pay much in taxes, or any at all is not cuts- it's wealth redistribution. Very cool if you are a socialist.

No one is cutting and running from the War on Terror – except Bush. He has done nothing to make the world safer from terrorism. He hasn’t gotten rid of Bin Laden. (Remember him? The guy responsible for 9/11?) And his little war in Iraq has made us much more hated by the Muslim world, replaced a secular government with an Islamic one, and done nothing to stop terrorism. Now he wants to drag us in to another needless war in Iran! I will fully support anyone that has a plan to get us out of that mess and actually go after… you know… terrorists.

I disagree- but I don't have time to debate it. Maybe someone else feels up to it.

And when all else fails, using immigrants to scare White America to vote Republican is a good strategy…. “Oh my god… can’t let the Democrats get power – the brown people will get ya!”

OOO race baiting. How impressive. Not immigrants JW- ILLEGAL immigrants. If you can't see the damage illegal immigration is doing to this country I can't help you. I don't care what color an illegal is- cause guess what, we used to have a huge problem with white euro illegals- same problem.

Spare me your reflective bigotry- it's insulting and not worth notice. Disgusting tactic.

If you think America wants a continuation of the mess we’re in, you have your head in the sand.

We'll see shall we- the real poll is at the voting booth.
