@Curmudgeon,
Honestly I am don't see the democrats as being any worse as the republicans right now.
You hear more of them right now because they are fighting to get back into office. They are the ones out on the limb right now.
Do you realize that republicans have had complete control of congress since 2002?
That is an incredibly long time and in this time frame we have seen two republican majority leaders step down from their leadership role. Trent Lott being the first one and then now the person that replaced him has stepped down. Be it temporary or not he has stepped down.
Whether or not he did anything "wrong" or not he has still down nothing to improve this country.
What has the Iraq war done for the United States of America other than tear it apart? Great, the Iraqis are "free".
Guess what? Iran isn't.
What do we do about Iran? Do we attack them too when they decide to not do what we say?
Do we pull out of Iraq only to go knocking on their neighbors door?
When does the insanity stop and when do we say come home and lets deal with the MANY problems we have here first.
I know hindsight is 20/20 but we now see that we did not have to go into Iraq when we did. It was probably the WORST time to do so. We should have stayed out of Iraq for the time being and put our efforts into Afganastan. After we got done in there we should have pulled out and then focused on getting Bin Laden and preventing a new attack like 9/11.
You know I turn on the news everyday and you can moan about the bias all you want but this country is in a world of hurt right now!
There is so much uncertainty for the future. The country is divided and the current administration is doing NOTHING to help this.
I just do not know what to think. I know I will not be voting for either party in the next elections. They are nothing but hypocrites and they do not care about this country one bit.
Some people think I am wasting my vote if I vote Libertarian but you know I am tired of voting for a group that has proved itself time and again to not hold up to its promise and not stay true to our consitution. They do not constrain on spending one bit. Campaign finance reform is non existent.
I will not vote for someone that spends billions of dollars to become elected only to spend the next 6 years sending us farther in debt and trying to make it seem like they are cutting spending with their bullshit budgets.
Liberal bias or not, this country needs to wake up
