Right now they are all a bunch of scumbags. If the people would take a good look at both parties and see what they were like 60 years ago you would say the demo's are now taken the Rep possition and the Rep's the Demo's. I used to vote Demo, but now I vote for who puts out the least trash. Right now if you vote in the Demo's your take home pay will be less that is just the way it is, tax tax. Wake up people wake up.

Do you guys really believe what you're saying? This is scary stuff. I think John Kerry was wrong - not all the dumb people got stuck in Iraq. Oh, I forgot. That was a joke.

If those of you who deny that Bill Clinton was responsible for the 2001 recession would do your homework then you would realize that Mrs. Cheney is correct. In 1999, Bill Clinton pressed OPEC to raise oil prices in order to finance the Chechnyan war. The reason he did this was that he needed Russia's help resolving the Kosovo conflict. However, this backfired & he was unable to aid Boris Yeltsin directly. Clinton used OPEC to supply Russia with increased energy profits and, by doing so, indirectly funded corruption by the Soviet state run company. In addition to the Soviet corruption, these oil sales also helped our good friend in Iraq, Saddam Hussein, re-arm his military with an air defense system. This "brilliant" move by Clinton is now seen as the contributing factor to the recession. Under Bush's tax cuts, our economy is thriving again, which is amazing (as Lynne Cheney pointed out) despite 9/11, Hurricane Katrina & the fact that we are currently involved in 2 wars. Quite simply, Republicans are clearly more capable of handling our economy & providing homeland security than the Democrats. I admire Mrs. Cheney for pointing out to Wolf Blitzer what is obvious to so many Americans regarding CNN's liberal bias. The fact that CNN showed Al Qaeda's surveillance footage of U.S. soldiers & subsequently showed footage of a U.S. soldier being killed as a result is appalling. What if their family was watching & realized they just witnessed their son's death on CNN? It is inconceivable that they would air such a horrendous segment solely for ratings. Regarding the Iraq war, our presence there was not only to provide Democracy to the people & remove Saddam from power, we are also there to keep an eye on Iran's nuclear ambitions. This was planned before we invaded Iraq, we couldn't have possibly had broad access to Iran had Saddam remained in power. Also, by promoting a democracy in Iraq, the Iranian people may desire the same freedoms as their neighbors and attempt to oust their leader themselves. I cringe at the thought of the Democrats gaining control of the House & Senate, or worse, the Presidency in '08. The Democrats will attempt to raise taxes in order to trim the deficit. However, this will backfire. Bush's tax cuts are well on their way to trimming the deficit. If the Democrats also try to cut the military presence in Iraq, there will most certainly be a civil war in that region. The Iraqi police & military are not yet equipped to handle the insurgency and the situation will escalate. This would create more enemies for the U.S. because we would be seen by the world as abandoning the Iraqi people. Please people think before you vote Democratic!!!

Simply reporting the facts out of Iraq is a negative for the Republicans. Thus, the story is that their majority is in trouble. If the Democrats were running behind in the polls, all you would be reading about is how they could screw up a one-car funeral. Even mainline conservatives are "favoring" the Democrats--was it the most recent National Review in which conservatives (Joe Scarborough was one) said the Republicans SHOULD lose the majority? Incumbency is very powerful, but it can also be a huge disadvantage when the country is clearly going in the wrong direction (e.g., Jimmy Carter in 1980--with a little help from an arms-for-hostages "October surprise.")
