Yes, we can.

I can gaurantee you McCain would not vote for a budget that reduced military spending by 25%.

It's not that I don't like Obama as a person - I've said before that he seems like a decent man. I admit a lot of it is distrust of the democrat party and what has typically been the agenda of the democrat party - such as reduction in military spending, lax control of the borders, whatever.

Why would that automaticly be a bad thing? For example: If we could eliminate wastefull spending, and still keep up our readiness, why would it be bad to do so?

And the Republican White House has done such a superb job with that these last eight years...

Well, there are reports that illegal immigration is down and some illegals have headed back to Mexico in search of jobs. Weird, eh? Since it's the horrid economy that is causing this change, I wonder if the Repubs will take credit?

And as soon as the economey gets better they will get back.

We were studying this in my [horrible, awful] policy class. Until the reasons for illegal immigration are resolved (no jobs in their home countries, deplorable working and living conditions, corrupt government and military, etc...) illegal immigrants will find their way in. They will climb a larger wall, dig a deeper hole or swim longer distances. Employers will go further underground to employ (and exploit) illegal workers. It won't stop, neither president can stop it, though Obama has acknowledged the issue goes deeper than securing our boarders.

The answer lies within your question

That they want a healthy economy so they can keep their jobs? Bastards!
