In my opinion, the people are dissatisfied with the Dems in Congress for one MAJOR reason: they didn't stop BushCo. THey didn't even try. They should have been standing with Russ Feingold rather than hiding with McCain and Company, acting like they were helpless. We don't expect half of Congress to act like cowards. So we WILL elect NEW Dems that speak out, and oppose, and try to stop BushCo! Maybe, with fresh faces and a new understanding of the people they represent, the Democratic Party will renew and refresh it's commitment to the PEOPLE! If they don't, they will be out almost as fast as they went in. The Green party is starting to look REAL good. So take a warning, my Dem reps: if you act like GOP, you will be jailed with the GOP. #31 excellent and true.

Republicans have been programmed for years to fear the "tax and spend" Democrats. But there is something worse: "don't tax and spend more" Republicans. Spending must be paid for somehow, someday. The Democrats want to pay for it from the checking account. The Republicans want to put it on a high-interest credit card.

The trouble is, if they choose to not act on their grudges. If they decide it is water under the bridge and they decide to act like "the better man" then you may as well vote Republican.
