OK you tell me. A moderate republican, Bush, eeked out a 523 vote win in Florida over the most socialist democrat of our time. This country is split right down the middle politically and every top issue the voters say is important is big government spending and involvement.

Well, first of all, instead of wasting time and political capital on the divisive issue of illegals, he could have attempted to tackle the health care issue.

That is generally at the top of your oft-mentioned "issues" lists. We have a Republican Senate, a Republican House, and a Republican President...and they propose virtually nothing on this issue. You realize that the debacle of the "HMO" was a Democrat "solution" from a while back, don't you? If we don't come up with a privatized solution while we have the chance, we WILL have a socialized system eventually..as people will not continue to pay a confiscatory portion of their incomes on health insurance premiums.

The people of this country want another solution besides government on this issue, as they have made clear. His time would have been much better spent taking the issue out of the Democrat's playbook for this election...with a very detailed plan.

Incidently, a good portion of the rising cost of health costs is directly due to uninsured illegals.

Oh, and by the way, I volunteered close to 100 hours of my time to get this President elected, as well as my money. So please cut the "third-party" crap.

I rest my case. Big Government is the last thing voters care about.

My belief exactly - and uninsured Americans as well.
