As opposed to ALL Democrats, who are always open to any and all thoughts and ideas and NEVER stick to their party regardless. That warm and fuzzy party is so open minded.

I am not trying to defend the Republican party. Nor am I trying to specifically blast Dems. To be honest, I am disillusioned with both parties. I believe that too many in each party are so hung up on the "we're right and they're wrong" mentality that NO ONE is looking out for the best interest of the whole. It is easier to say "the other guy/party/etc. is a total f-up and we would have done better."
If anyone believes that all of our current financial woes are solely the fault of GW Bush, then they really don't follow the big picture. Yes, he is to blame on some level, but how much? Who knows (and no - you don't). EVERYONE is to blame. We AS A COUNTRY are to blame. Republicans are to blame and Democrats are to blame.
Regardless of who is elected and inaugerated, we have a LONG way to go to recover. I don't believe our economic recovery is going to be any better or any worse (on the grand scale) depending on who gets elected. In fact, I don't think the recovery would be much different if GW Bush were in the White House for another four years.
But that's just my opinion.
