I would urge everyone to vote today.
I suggest you choose Federal candidates who have read and will comply
to the US constitution.
I suggest you choose state and local candidates who have read and
will comply to your state constitution.
When in doubt, vote against the incumbent.

Voters know about as much about the candidates as the candidates know
about their reflective constitutions. Not much.

A desire to go to DC is a desire to be mauled by the special interest groups.
There has not been a candidate in probably 40 years that has done what
is best for the nation - most do what they 'seem' to hear from their
constituency, which eac

My point, for what it is worth, is that Obama essentially inherited a
problem that arose before he took office and he has done what he thought
best in an effort to fix the problem. Not an easy job during hard times.
Now, the mob has turned against him because he has not magically fixed
it over
He pretty much promised he'd fix it overnight while on the campaign trail...

I guess I should have added that every politician lies on the campaign
trail, and the 2 party system only serves to segregate and divide a
nation that needs more unity...

But my point exactly about short memories. "We the People" were not too
happy with the previous adminstration if one accepts that they voted
Democrat because of unhappiness with the Republicans. Short memories.
I really do not think the current administration had much choice in how
they did
Yep.

I say Yes. I have never changed fuses as Dr. Booth suggested.
Rarely have a need for fuse-messing unless I do something dumb.
If I don't change out my fuses every 10 years should I still use Mobil 1?

I did change all the fuses in the 300SDL - and it did cure several seemingly
random electrical faults. There are a few such in the ML now - but it has
the blade type fuses, and is only 10 years old - should I replace them now?
Does Rusty have a kit of fuses for it???
