dadw5boys: “We have to cut off the Republican incentive that actually pay American Business to move overseas. We still don’t know of all the hidden things that are in laws past by the Republicans.”

Who has been in control of congress for two years? Polosi and Reed are not Republicans. By the way, the latest polls shows Bush approval 32%, the Democratic Congress 16%.

Well, dadW you are correct in a way but how many years have we heard the phrase “we need to reclaim our country” when refering to our elected officials truly representing the majority. That of course will never happen anytime soon and here is why in my opinion.
When Jimmy Carter was President he had several great ideas on how to address the energy problems the U.S. would face in the future. The problem was he didn’t have the support on his own political Democratic party to accomplish anything, he couldn’t even pass the time of day. The point is, reguardless of who becomes President nothing will ever change unless our elected representatives stop being party politicians and become representatives of the people. We the voting public must get our heads out of the political party sand box and elect people to Congress, Senate and yes President that will enforce the will of the people. We need to stop this stupid Republican, Democratic party bickering and get serious about our future here at home and the world. I’m amazed that people still go to the polls and cast their vote for a party, instead of a person. They will cast their vote for someone they know very little to nothing about, other than what someone told them or a slanted commercial on T.V.. The majority of people would vote for Mr.Trey Stump as long as he was running on their party ticket. Oh! I’ve ticked off those of you wearing your political party blinders, so you can start critizing my opinion now.

Jody, do you remember what it felt like to learn for the first time that there was no Santa Claws, Tooth Fairy or Easter Bunny? Well, I want to inform you that there are no Saints in politics. No Saints can be found in Washington D.C. neither in the White House, Congress or the Senate. There are no Saints at the State levels of government either that I’m aware of. If we could look into the past lives of every politician, both past and future, we might be shocked. If every politician hung their clothes on the clothes line for all to see we all might be flabergasted at what we would see. We might say to ourselves,"is that grandma’s skimpy nighties hanging there”? or “I had no idea that grandad wore spandx longjohns”.

If we as a society looked for a candidate that had no dirty laundry then the White House, Congress and the Senate would stay vacant. We need to look beyond ones little imperfections, personal and private lives (although there are some exceptions of course) and try to choose a team of potential leaders that can pull the United States up by the hair of the head from this disasterous mess we have gotten ourselves into the last few years. Jesus already has a job bigger than anything we can offer him and Mother Treasa is dead and I’m don’t know anyone carring a bag of magic dust or has a miracle in his or her pocket. If anyone out there knows of a person without any dirty laundry to run this Nation speak up, we are running out of time here.

“Just A Rambling Meandering Smattering of Almost-Completed Thoughts…”

In other words, just more of the usual.
