17. In case after case, throughout he history of the 20th Century,
the R's have screwed things up so badly, it has taken a D to fix the problem, (Eisenhower being the exception, to a point).

We are standing on the brink of the greatest economic collapse in history. The current administration has not only put us trillions of dollars further in debt, they have set it up to the point that the foreign entities that are supporting our economy, will go down with us, so their continued support is virtually mandatory to keep a global economy alive. The old "tax and spend" has been replaced by a GOP that is nothing little kore than "borrow and spend". It will take decades to get out of this mess.

But there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and it is not an oncoming train. Americans of all stripes have come to learn they've been used by the GOP, and especially, the neo-cons. This should set the GOP back for a generation. The biggest problem we have in the future, are irresponsible D's that may get into the House and Senate.There needs to be a new awareness in Congress, we the people who actually put these people into office, expect results that benefit this nation above all else. Few people realize that Iraqi's have Universal Health Care, paid for by the American taxpayer...and yet none for us here? The trillion+ that has been spent in the ME has had zero positive effect for this nation, or the world for that matter. It is going to take time to get our men and women out of there, but we must begin.

bush has destroyed the GOP, we must capitalize on this. I urge everyone to vote, get those who live around you to vote to put an end to this nightmare. I cannot tell you who to vote for, that is your decision, but when it comes down to the wire, take a look at what is out there, make sure you understand the issues, and then cast a ballot. We The People can take back our nation, but it is going to take work.
