Col, I'm sorry but your taken by the Dem speeches hook, line and sinker.
Not all Republicans defend Bush. Some Democrats have as well they just flip as necessary. As an Independant I just get tired of the Media and Libs jumping on these guys like a bunch of hounds and blaming them for everything when it's not true. The world and the USA were not perfect before Bush and it won't be after Bush.

The truth is that Dems promise the world on topics like Healthcare and Education and never deliver. If they did then why is it still in the dumps? Were either of these topics ever run properly? For everyone? The answer is no and now that the Libs have put this out there as a topic to use againt the Bush Adminstation people feel that they deserve Government provided Healthcare, Daycare, Public Education (at any cost without responsibility) and now talk of free College.

The Reps have lost alot of their conservative values because of the greedy way of politics. This ticket should get things back on track especially with the Iraq war coming to an end in the near future. McCain does lean to the left at times which is why I didn't really care for him.

Either party will do anything to get the power and Barry is an example of that. Look at how many other qualified candidates that the Dems had and they picked Barry. Now they picked Biden who made fun of Barry and his experience..... that says it all.
