At this point, are any of us really sure who is pulling the strings, and where the country is headed?
Im not so sure that a republican congress, or a republican president would be doing anything much different right now.

I would just as soon suggest Larry for president as anyone else that is in the headlights for a run right now.

over the last 10 years or so, the government has lost credibility to the point of not trusting a thing they do.

If doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results clears your conscience; you didn’t have much to clear.

yeah we could have kept Klinton from feking up the country too bad, by keeping a steady stream of hot young ass in the Oval Office thereby distracting the Philander in Chief

Because I'm seriously not interested in another 4 years of this crap. Hell, we're only 10 months into it and I've had enough. But if you all are going to give him another term, I'm not going to concern myself with politics anymore because it will be clear that there's nothing I can do about the direction our country is taking, and therefore shouldn't worry about it.
Well if the Republicans front another RINO, we only have people such as yourself to thank. You know those that were willing to overlook their disdain for RINO's, just to vote a for one Liberal over another Liberal, and the ONLY difference between the two was the party they were affiliated with.

Yep, they were 100% the same on every other issue. Made the debates really boring, didn't it? They even copied each other's web sites, picked similar running mates, would have had the same cabinets, same foreign policy and military experience.... "the ONLY difference between the two was the party they were affiliated with"




What a moron.

Tell you what sparky, you outline for us how John McCain stated he was different, and i'll reply with his actual voting record.

But then you must think he was called the maverick for some other reason than voting against Conservatives whenever he had a chance.

He was horrifically liberal for my tastes - but that's not the point.

You said (and, the emphasis was yours) "the ONLY difference between the two was the party they were affiliated with". The inaccuracies of that are outstandingly huge.
