But kinda like your request for "better numbers," I can't find another party with the resources to make as big a difference as the Repellicans! I get so tired of getting nothing for my vote than "the lesser of two evils!" That's what made me so high on Reagan and helps me endure some of the disgusting things I see Bush do on occassion.
The one that REALLY disgusts me is Schwarzenegger!!! To me, he's enough to gag a maggot!!! He's benefiting from a recovering CA economy while having done much to thwart said recovery!!! But that's all another subject...
So negative! :-P I did what I thought was right and voted for GWB in 04. I don't regret it, but I didn't enjoy it much either. There really was no choice. The John Roberts nomination doesn't please me either. At best, he's a definite maybe. We deserved better. He is talented and accomplished, but that doesn't make him conservative. The best thing you can say about a GOP admin is that they aren't a Dem admin. In my opinion, we don't have a two party system, we have two one-party systems.
