You have kept to your word to keep us informed until the election from your POV, which is largely my own POV. The absolutely staggering cost of the war in Iraq pretty much precludes any other social program. I voted absentee two days ago as I will be in Laughlin, NV on election day, and I spent a lot of time researching the measures this time. I did end up going straight Democratic on the candidates, however, though I almost voted for Schwarzenegger who seems about as close to a Democrat as a Republican can be. Got it from osmosis with Maria, I guess.

Bush and the republican Congress are spending like drunken sailors and here in California Arnold and the new republicans are acting more like democrats from the 1960's looking at providing services and jobs for the working man while the dem leadership in the state legislature seems to be leaning towards a total welfare state if that is what will keep them in power.Ingineer66https://www.blogger.com/profile/01319022726561229313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-1162294344158915652006-10-31T03:32:00.000-08:002006-10-31T03:32:00.000-08:00You pretty well nailed it.

But over the last 20 or 30 years, the Rs have been far more vicious, and have lied more to the American people just to get the votes. anonymous also had a good point. During our lifetime, the basic tenets and roles of the parties have flip-flopped. I'm no longer sure that left-right and liberal-conservative even begin to describe and differentiate the Ds and Rs.<BR/><BR/>Too bad you did not have a picture of a jackass - not the one used as a symbol for the Democratic party, but one that depicts what Bush really is...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-1162253532070628692006-10-30T16:12:00.000-08:002006-10-30T16:12:00.000-08:00This reality of our debt just gave me some more id...This reality of our debt just gave me some more ideas that will not work. I have stated in earlier comments that we need education which gives each individual the feeling of worth and the skills to work with diverse people to solve real problems. Though they may not work I will state them anyway. We could ask Iraq to pay for us staying on and occupying their country. Well that might not go over well. There must be other ways of pumping up money to pay our debt. Maybe we could start "the save the world project." Declare the oceans are rising and build floating islands for millions of people to inhabit.These islands would be designed to pay for themselves and divert soldiers from war to construction. Do you think a political party could run on these ideas?Diane Widler Wenzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05270246393901276648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-1162248525660789342006-10-30T14:48:00.000-08:002006-10-30T14:48:00.000-08:00When did the conservatives decide not to conserve ...When did the conservatives decide not to conserve anything?
