You make some wildly inaccurate claims. Actually, both the economy and housing market boomed under Bush's watch, so you're wrong when you say average Americans haven't prospered over the last six years. Look around, man. People are thriving. If you really hate Bush so much, at least correctly assess his record. Not only that. You ought to learn to spell -- start with "disastrous" for one, though there are more misspellings in your post. And you're running for Congress, geez!

Well, I suppose you could look at it that way. Or you could figure that, in total, little was done either way to shrink the incredibly bloated unConstitutional Federal Gov't. From the Dept of Education to the FDA, from the labor laws to the minimum wage, it all should go. The Feds should stick to foreign policy, defense, and possibly interstate roads. All else should be left to the states and the people, like the Constitution says.

Bush is a jr Socialist. The near-Communists now have 'control' of the House and Senate, for whatever that's worth. I've long since given up hope for a sensible restructuring of the US. I'll settle for some kind of defense of my children's lives against the threat of violent Muslims. In a bumbling, well-meaning sort of way, GWB has at least tried to do something about them. Not nearly the response I would have hoped for, of course, but at least better than endless yakking in the UN while Saddam gives bioweapons to AQ.

We're wussified, that's all there is to it. We can't seem to stand a historically low level of casualties in what should be considered the equivalent of a little light colonial policing. What will we do when they manage to get a nuke into Manhattan? Will we finally have the will to declare war on every nation that allows its citizens to teach their children that America is the Great Satan (and, yes, I include our 'buddies' the Saudis in this; one can accuse Bush of being buddy-buddy with them, I suppose, but I rather suspect that Conyers and his ilk would be no better).

O well; I have some hope. Demographics is destiny, after all. Those who are willing to actually defend this nation, and who are less likely to view with approval the Feds having a hand in everything, are reproducing at a favorable rate compared to folks who view abortion as a woman's 'right', homosexuality as an acceptable lifestyle choice, and the world as overpopulated and warming dangerously. It's tough to reproduce when you abort many of your offspring, are in a 'same-sex' relationship, or have one designer baby at 39. I have 4 children, and am likely to have more than double that in grandchildren. Having homeschooled them, they have not been brainwashed into thinking that America and Christianity are evil, Islam is a religion of peace, and guns are baaad. So I suspect my views will be disproportionately represented in the next few generations. Just think of it as evolution in action. Survival of the fittest. Last man standing.
