I'm not blaming anything solely on Democrats....yet.

That's my point.

If they get their super majority, once things get screwed up, they'll have nobody but themselves to blame.

I'm not attacking them now or defending Republicans.

I'm a Conservative, both parties make me sick these days.

A super majority of that kind would be a choice way to expose the ignorance of far left ideals though.

I can think of things equally disgusting to me.

Censorship through the "fairness" doctrine, higher taxes, more government bureaucracy, a bigger welfare state, weak defense, etc..

Yeah, I can think of plenty of things the Dem's are drooling over that make my stomach churn.

Now see, if you would have posted THIS along with your other thread, you may have gotten a little more support from me. You see, it's sh!t in one hand and crap in the other. That's the choices we have.

You may think that a republican administration means more security. But, when you really think about it, this administration has made us MORE unsafe than this nation has EVER been by the way they have been invading soveirgn nations and making unsubstantiated threats. Sure, defense spending will be cut under the dems but that does NOT mean we are less safe.

Anyway, the MIC will ge their money regardless. That's how it is. They will get it through back doors or manufacture more 'events' to get it.

A question. You would trade the good of the country for being able to point a finger at the "other side"?

Ya know I really have problems with people who want to see the (soon to be) new president fail.

Liberal or conservative, Republican or Democrat we should want the next congress and the next president to do the best job that they can whether we agree with them or not.

However, I'm always concerned about a lopsided control of government. That has hardly ever boded well for any country in history. There needs to be a balance. That is what scares me.

As am I... I stated so in my OP. Doesn't matter which party it is either and I am for all intent and purposes an independent/Democrat.

Once again, I never said you were rooting for Bush.

Where did you get that again?

Are you serious?

It must have been even harder to root for someone like Bush

Exactly.... you stated it's hard to root for someone who's policies you disagree with.


And I stated, that it must have been even more difficult to root for bush given that he did the exact opposite of what he said he would do, in fact lied.

How in that did I ever claim you supported bush? I only used your quote as a seque, and your quote made me think of that.

Now if I had actually said it must have been hard for YOU, then yes I would be guilty as charged.

However, that's something you read into it.

You saw something that just wasn't there... a phantasm of your preconceived notions about what someone is saying.
