david1737,

I''ve heard it all about Bush, know why you hate him and why you think he''s done a poor job - blah, blah, blah. I want to know what dems will do differently, more specifically Hillary and Obama. So tell me PRETTY PLEASE!!!If you want to convert me you''re going to have to give me a reason other than Bush sucks.

Bush has grown Govt spending by leaps and bounds.

He inherited projected budget surpluses.

At this point the we''re looking at 10 trillion in Debt.

We''ve sold 3 quarters of a trillion dollars in Treasury Bills to China.

If you don''t like "Big Govt." Bush and the Repubs. ain''t a good choice.

Bush and the Repubs. broke all records for Ear Mark spending!

Fact, the short time that the Dems. have controlled Congress ear marks have been reduced by a quarter.

Do some research and get back to me!

However, I''''m talking about the New deal Program passed by FDR. It saved Democracy.

And I often find, when speaking with a dem, that they dance around the issue and refuse to answer any questions about their own party. So maybe you will prove me wrong...what will Hitlery or Osama do to better this country? You think higher taxes and bigger government is the answer?

Oh I was so hopeful, Dave! You let me down.
