Yup I agree, however here's my problem: the parties are all messed up right now. The Democrats are really floundering trying to decide what their core is. The Republicans have been taken over by the Religious Right. So here's my dilemma: 1.) I'm socially liberal and fiscally conservative. 2.) The Dems are an unknown quantity, they could go fiscally liberal, but maybe not. 3.) The Republicans (really the Neo-Cons) are fiscally liberal and socially conservative - that's opposite of me and so a complete non-starter. McCain and others may be able to bring the Republicans back to sanity, but then the Neo-Cons might suck in McCain - it's a risk. On the Democrat side you've got some goodness in Biden and a few others, but it looks like Hillary might win the nomination which would make it tough for me. Ideally I want a Democrat President and a Republican Congress, but, like I said, the parties are all messed up now so that success formula kinda goes out the window. And we've also got to take into account military skills these days. It should be interesting ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:204399 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
