I just want to see our representatives voting the way we want them to. It's no mystery what we want with the miracle of modern communication. It makes me think the congress is an anachronism. It no longer takes 3 months to get a message from one side of the country to the other, yet it takes longer for our government to get a mesasge from us. We need representatives who communicate with their constituents using the internet and strictly adhere to their wishes. The vast, vast majority opposed the bailout, yet this legislation passed. It showed how terribly damaged the system is. I don't care what party they belong to, but ANY candidate who promises to do this in writing has my vote.
I'm justing waiting for one of the Republicans to man up and admit that it's time to get out of Iraq. That's something at least 60% of the electorate want (www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/current_events/the_war_in_iraq/iraq_troop_withdrawal). It should not be viewed as a partisan issue. The top two's support of Bush's Iraq policy is obstinate party loyalty and will be suicide in the general election.
Although the Republicans claim to be fiscally responsible, its just not the case. I still have trouble believing this chart. (www.lafn.org/politics/gvdc/Natl_Debt_Chart.html) It says to me that counterintuitively, the democrats are more fiscally responsible than the republicans. The Iraq war is waste of money. Our interests are not served by being there.
During the last debate, I noticed Romney and McCain smirking the whole time the 'nameless one' spoke. The 'nameless one' has some good ideas, but these two give ideas other than their own no credence. It's one of the flaws of Bush. Romney is a smart guy, but noone knows everything.
Huckabee has as much a shot as that other guy, so we don't need to talk about him.
I'll vote for "He whose name we shall not mention" while in the race. After that, I don't vote for anyone who wants to stay in Iraq.
