politics.......

I guess that as you get older, politics become a part of your life. The interest in them at any rate......

I'm voting straight democrat this election year just to see if we can get enough Dems in the house to oust "W". We need relief from his madness.

Let's see what's happening......

Offers up NCLB (no child left behind) that not only does not work, he had funding cut for public schools.

Wages a war that nobody can justify. Even after being admitted that it was started on falsified information, it's still going on.

Says it's all for promoting democracy, yet our war supplies come from a communist nation, China.

Our constitutional rights are being trimmed away.

The Supreme Court is being filled with like-minded people. I can only assume it's to rid us of those pesky rights so "W" can be charged.

We've sunk billions into a war on terror that is not helping us. We are not any safer now that we were at 9-11, nor will we benefit from it in any way I can figure out. At the same time, we cut eduction, federal aid to students, and social security.

Corporations and special interests now control the United States and most likely have for a very long time.
