Very few, that I can think of, Waxman being one. I'd love to see Pelosi and Hoyer tossed out.

I've seen some suggest that Pelosi is a genius for staying out of the way and letting W continue to step on his dick, but I'm not one that agrees.

Anyone who still insists our course of action in Iraq was proper is not someone I can take seriously.

We'll never agree here. One side wants to kick the ball further down the road, the other wants to change the game we're playing.

I'm curious. Have you ever voted for a democrat. CP says she never has. I've seen another say the same, but the name escapes me at present. How 'bout you? I'll admit I'd be surprised to see you say you ever have.

I have indeed. I will admit never in a national election, but in locals here in AZ I have a few times.

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.

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.

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.

Same here.

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