I wonder if it is possible to lay this basket of failure on the Democrat's doorstep. While McCain opposed the drilling in ANWAR, the Democrats have opposed nuclear, prohibited nearly all domestic drilling, and increased regulations in the energy industry that reduced the bottom line needed for exploration and alternative energy research.
Nope. The Republicans did nothing when they had control of congress and the presidency except spend huge amounts of taxpayers money. Republicans have shown they are corrupt and cannot be trusted by the electorate.
McCain has shown that he is liberal even for a Democrat. How can any citizen who is not liberal have any confidence in him after his continual backstabbing of anyone or anything that is conservative?
The problems are bipartisan as they have largely been created by Republicans and Democrats. Who could have confidence in either one of them solving the problems they created?
The Republican party is just as responsible for this mess. This goes beyond partisan politics into malfeasance and abdication of responsibility.
Incumbents, no matter what party, are toast. No one is going to listen to BS when the economy is in the toilet.
