If you think your better off now than you were six years ago and think you will be better off if we keep on going this way. Vote Democrat! If you aren't, vote some other way, any other way. But keep in mind that a vote for another party enables the Democrats. Unless you vote Republican. (The other party that stands a chance. Sorry Libertarians, just not enough members.) Of course to be fair you have to decide who's policies led to what, which is a little more of a tricky problem. Most politicians pass laws that take effect after their terms in office which allows them to be on both sides of the fence at the same time. An example would be that Obama is still blaming Bush for his troubles which allows the party faithful a convenient straw man to hate. On the other hand, don't get fooled into either parties slander of the other party. Most of it is made up bs anyway. It's hard to make an informed decision when all you hear is crap to start with. Add to that the 'political class' who don't have anything in common with you, or your life, or your problems, yet these are the very ones telling you they can help. Expecting them to help you is a religion, you pray to your politicians and hope for a miracle to save you from those guys, the 'other' politicians. All the while their hoping you and I, and the rest of us, don't catch on to the shell game they are running. On the other hand, Obama's machine has made a lot of errors. Might be time for a change. Or at least new faces to blame for the same old problems. Or, we could blame Bush. That does seem to be a popular option. Or not. Seriously, look at our government. More of them by percentage are criminals than the percentage of the general population. So we worship at the feet of the best criminals? Says a lot about us doesn't it? Ahh! The party faithful. The original post is factually incorrect? Or just not politically correct? Political dogma. You guys crack me up! Bah! As always, it's a choice of the lessor of two evils. Choose wisely.
