Only eight more days and the political ads go away for awhile. :yeah:

That's about all that will change. :dead:

What a relief, :yep:

If it were only a move towards conservatism, but it isn't. Rather, it is a move back to Republican Neo-Conservatism. We've been seeing it since 1994, and it is something I have a hard time being optimistic about.

The Neo-Cons were firmly rejected by the voters two years ago, and rightfully so. However, due to our crappy two-party system, the alternative was to vote for their opposites, the Progressives. Since they have faired no better during their tenures, they will be voted out and replaced, again, by the Neo-Cons. Until viable choices are available as third, fourth and fifth parties, America will continue to be on a treadmill. Hardly anything worth being excited about. As krashkart said, we can at least be thankful that those ads will disappear.

And my prediction is that no matter what the outcome it won't be as bad as we fear, nor as good as we wish. It will be OK.

Neither party is going to upset the status quo as both sides have too much to lose.

It will be OK. :yep:

Nancy P says they haven't gotten credit for all they have done , curtiously given by the Schnit radio show. http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefi...t-we-have-done

Both parties are a total loss. The GOP doesn't believe in capitalism as much as they push free enterprise, ect.. Back in the 70's about 40% of Americans held 80% of the wealth, today about 9% of wealthy hold 80% of the wealth. In ten years they will hold about 90% of the wealth. This is elitism and what the GOP follows. Tax breaks and less regulations won't create many jobs, just a small percent of lower paying jobs. Voodoo economics, where you give corporations breaks and the wealth makes it way down doesn't work in a global economy. Corporations once worked for Americans, now they work for anyone but Americans.

No, the Dems are not much better. Capitalism and a strong business agenda with proper regulation to protect our jobs is what we need and it ain't gonna happen.

We have major crisis that will break this nation in 20 years. SS and Medicare alone just paid to the baby boomers is 60 trillion dollars in debt, more money in all banks and stock markets in the world. Those programs are gone. Most of us will lose our healthcare in the next 10 years. Sadly, I've watch every company in the construction industry in our area drop employee healthcare or the employee pays it all.

We will be a two class society, so get rich now or be part of the 90% living in povety in the next 10-20 year.

You're probably right about that. :salute:

The truth you speak:woot:.

He's what I'd like to see happen if the power shifts.

1. Put barney frank/ chris dodd on trial for corruption.
2. Send pelosi a bill for all of her trips on air force planes.
3. Drive a stake thru healthcare:hmmm:.

I'm more worried about local issues though. Hopefully we can break the gov't employee monopoly on power in this state.

I dont believe that. I believe a 'rock star' got elected.

That and the palpable hatred for Bush.

So the banishment of the Republican Party had nothing to do with their policies and political philosophy, but the impending loss of the Democratic Party has everything to do with their's. That's some odd logic.

Its simple... buyers remorse.

This isnt the change they were hoping for.

Okay. Same for the Neo-Cons. What's the point?
