I graduated from Brown U. (and had to deal with the same left-wing garbage you're spewing, fighting the good fight against it for four fun-filled years). But, I didn't need to graduate from an Ivy League school to know that the Democrats are the party of the powerhungry and the Republicans are the party of the people. Democrats aren't concerned with making America better. . . they are concerned with consolidating power in themselves; just look at the federalization of airline security employees. It did nothing except create more voters who are dependent on the federal government for their economic well-being -- read "more Democratic voters". They don't want to give tax cuts to even the "middle class" voters you describe unless they have to -- every dollar they give back to the people is one less dollar they have to buy votes with.

Republicans are clearly better for the economy. In the first two years of Clinton, the economy sank deepeer into recession. Only once the Republicans took control (efectively) in 1995 did the economy turn around. Of course, slick claimed credit for it. When the Democrats took control of the Senate lat year, the economy recovery faltered. Truth be told, they WANTED it that way so they could blame Bush and use it as an election issue this year. That's why they havemade every effort to block economic stimulus. They don't care about the economy, the people, or the country. . . Democrats care only about POWER.
