Whenever a Democrat comes up with some RW policy, it's always called 'centrist.' It's as if a Democrat can't be conservative, just by having that D beside their name. Republicans doing something liberal doesn't seem to happen at all, but if one did, I'm sure that would be called 'centrist' as well. Those Ds and Rs are magical letters, you know.

They always call about 7pm for 2 or 3 days until I decide I have time to take the poll.

questions about 'trust' in the Admin. , economy better or worse?, how about congress? hah, I trust the President to do the moral right thing, more than I don't.

I think the economy improves, especially what I see with my clients and their 'spending'. And my personal income.

It's our congress who still sucks big time.. would have gave them a ZERO if one wasn't the lowest I could go.
