Booming? I work for the stock market, and .... it is as far from booming as can be.. numbers don't always equate with reality...

Talk to some REAL people, will ya... My father, a republican, and my boss, can see that.. why can't you? You seem unwilling to look outside a narrow view of what you want to believe so much that you make it so in your mind.

You say that as bad as the republicans are, the democrats must be worse.. this is brainwashed narrow minded nonsense... sorry, but if you support corruption, $300 billion in debt, and nothing accomplished, vote for gop..

What has been accomplished? Immigration reform? Nope... SS reform? Nope. Safer country? Nope. Ethics reform? Nope. What has been accomplished!?

It all comes down to individual races. If I had a moderate Republican congressman with a voting record I liked and a lot of power earned through many terms of service, I probably wouldn't jettison him in favor of an unproven Democrat.

That being said, I think the last six years have been an unqualified failure on the part of the White House and Congress, and I will not be voting for any Republicans in this particular election.

 

[blackangst1]

I'll be voting Republican because I have yet to see any viable alternatives from the Dems. Make that ANY alternatives. If a Dem would come out and lay out a plan I would take a look. But thus far, no one has a plan.

With the line between Dems and Repubs so grey I think it's a mistake to assume anyone would do anything differently, unless proven otherwise.

Im a registered Democrat, BTW.

As much as I would like to see you being correct---GWB is not running this year---with some GOP candidates are somewhat distancing themselves from GWB. The Republican base is still solid at about 25-30%--- who would never vote democratic. But lots of voters are very disillusioned this year---and how and in what directions events stampede the undecideds will determine the options for the next session of the congress.

Sadly events like the Foley scandal tend to be forgotten in mere weeks---Rove is also very clever at image---but I still am guessing that the democrats will need some additional real bad news for GWB to assure themselves of a majority in both wings of congress. The American voter is wising up---but are they wising up fast enough to sink the reublican control of
both wings of congress?---or even one?-----of the eight or so tight senate races---the dems need to sweep at least 7 to control the senate---odds not good for that hat trick at present.

GWB is running. From fear of a Democratic Majority and impeachment. YAHOOO!

Impeachment? Huh? For what exactly?

People forgetting the foley issue is sad? IMO it's sad they remember it or dwell on it. It's a non-issue like Clintons problems. It's nothing compared to the debt, abramoff scandal and lobby situation in gennal, falling SAT scores nationwide, eroding infrastructuer, gap between haves and have nots and many other more serious abeit more complex issues hardly ever delved into by the press.

falling SAT scores nationwide: That is the greatest failure of the past few administrations.. Clinton administration saw the best economy in decades yet did nothing for education.. GWB's programs may have been well intended but he had no follow through. Education is the only thing that will keep our country #1.. Unfortunatley nobody cares because it does't sell ads..

Falling SAT scores are the governments problem? What planet are you from? Isnt that the student's responsibility? And isnt it the parent's responsibility also?

Clinton saw the best economy, true...but do you recall who actually controlled the House and Senate? That's right. Republicans. Dont give Clinton credit for something he had nothing to do with.

The GOP has had a majority in the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branch for 6 years and have accomplished nothing with it.

There's no democrat in the executive branch today, which makes your comparison pretty much useless comparing to the Clinton years.

OK lemme spoon feed this to you. You said, "The GOP has had a majority in the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branch for 6 years and have accomplished nothing with it".

1. No one has had the judicial brance. It is neither Dem nor Repub.
2. Legislative has had Rebub majority for longer than 6 years, and accomplished quite a bit, albeit moreso under Clinton.
3. Executive brance you are correct.

I guess 1 out of 3 aint bad, eh?

I count 2 out of 3... republican majority in legislative and executive... the legislative is 2 parts... so its really 3/4...

What have they accomplished in the last 6 years?

 

[1EZduzit]

Apparently someone stuck the Republicans with a bad batch of dope, because they sure are squirrley lately?

Sorry, but you'd rather keep incompetent and corrupt politicians rather than trying an alternative because you aren't sure of the alternative? You ARE sure about the corruption and incompetence of the CURRENT ones.. what could POSSIBLY be worse!?

Katrina handling including funds, post Iraq invasion handling, budget 300+ billion in debt, no immigration bill, no SS reform, no ethics reform... what has been accomplished in the last 6 years?

1. The number of conservatives on the courts outnumber liberals.
2. Read the bolded part again...I didn't say "or", I said "and" meaning it requires more than one condition.

So if this Repub majority hasn't done anything since Bush in office, what's the point in reelecting them?
Will a democratic congress on Bush have the same effect as a republican congress on Clinton? Maybe.
One thing for sure, we KNOW a republican led congress on Bush doesn't work.

The overall economy is growing, but figures that actually matter -- average income etc -- say otherwise. The average income for Americans has not gone up in over five years.

The Waltons may be doing well, but it sucks for most Americans.

I'm probably going to vote for the independent (Mihos) in the Governor's race, but I'm going Democrat for the others.

National Security is President Bush's strength? I hate to see his weakness.

Seems like we're much worse off with respect to the "axis of evil" than four years ago.

Osama and his motley crew are free too.

Please explain why you'd reward these incompetents by voting republican.

Eh? Bush is not up for re-election. Why would I vote for a Democrat when they also voted to give Bush the power to do what he has done thus far? I'll vote for whichever one I like the best and this time it just happens to be a Dem and it has nothing whatsoever to do with what the Bush administration has done.

It depends on the option. Would you vote for a Dem just because he/she is a Dem?

Of course you could be voting for another party altogether which would make the statement less partisan.

 

[Genx87]

We have a pretty good repuplican running for house in my district, she will get my vote. Our senator is a RINO as fas as I am concerned. His opponent is your classic lefty democrat. Most likely will vote myself in hehe.

Govenor, yes, I will vote for the sitting republican. Mike Hatch, the democrat challenger is nothing but a tax and spender and general ahole on top of that. The independence party candidate is a democrat wanna be.

 

[theeedude]

I will never vote for GOP on national level, the Clinton Impeachment turned me off GOP for good.
Not that it matters since I am in a pretty liberal district in CA. I will prolly vote for Arnold, now that he has turned liberal after his props failed.

 

[Puffnstuff]

This administration and congress are the reason that I'm no longer a member of the republican party. I will not support any incumbent and intend to vote them all out. This country needs a transformation and keeping the status quo will not get it done. I also will not support any candidate who opposes the constitution or who's activity would serve to undermine this nation of ours.

I do agree with you, however there are a few pojnts to ponder....first is...no one in office...NO ONE...is "opposed" to the Constitution. Thats just fluffy talk.

I like the idea of replacing alot of the fed members, however, I like. IMHO we have no way of knowing who we are electing though, unless they have served publicly, and can see their voting record. I dont give a shite what a candidate SAYS (IMHO they all say whatever to get a vote), but you cant dispute a voting record. Know what I mean? As they say, the devil you know is better than the devil you dont know. So I would NEVER EVER vote for someone based on campaign speeches, nor would I vote for someone who has never served in public office.

Just my humble opinion.

Are you in the Sixth District? You're on your own on Michelle Bachmann, who seems about as blackhearted a Christian conservative as I've ever seen - she's like Minnesota's version of Katharine Harris. She really seems like a dangerous person to me. I am not especially enthusiastic about Patti Wetterling (though I've met her several times, and she seems like a nice person), who I don't consider a strong candidate, but Bachmann is pure evil. In my own (Fifth) district, Keith Ellison will win easily. I can't say I'm a fan, but I guess I'll probably vote for him.

You think Norm Coleman is a "RINO" (I hate that term)? That's crazy. He's certainly a Bush lapdog and couldn't be chummier with AIPAC. He's pro-life and supports the Christian conservative line on gay rights. If anything I think he was always a "DINO" (again, a really stupid word IMO) earlier in his career.

One thing is for sure: Amy Kloubuchar will spank Kennedy for the junior senator spot. That asshole's political career is finished. Pawlenty will also hammer Hatch. I don't love either of them, but Hatch is just a thoroughly disagreeable guy, and has no real chance IMO.
