What I don't understand

[raysr]

This is the same stuff Reagan did only worse. Huge tax cuts, more money to the Pentagon, states go broke, have to raise taxes and cut services to balance the budget. So then the people get mad at the incumbents(RE: Gray Davis) and FAIL to see where the real problem lies and who started it. I remembered, why doesn't everyone else? Are these people in the southern states that are all falling over for the GOP doing that well? Or is it the Bible Thumpers that are driving this? What's it going to take truthseekers?
