No thanks to another down-home loser!

It didn't help much that Reagan/Bush negotiated with Iran and bribed them with weapons to keep the hostages there a year longer than they had to.
I haven't voted since 2000 and will probably never again under the current election process (it just goes to show you that our votes count even less than ever).
But I'm pulling for another 8 years of a Clinton Whitehouse.
We should all ask --- Are we better off now than we were 8 years ago?
With all the homework the dems are doing on Reagon and the fact the repubs are doing the same, I would be shocked if the dem nominee didn't make that quote.
Anyway I think we'll see Clinton with either Edwards/Richardson/Webb --- either one would be a fine choice
As far as the republicans, it's ovbouisly too close to call. I think Romney pulls it out.
While I think it would be another 8 years of big business rule if he wins it all, I'll take my chances on him losing next nov to either dem candidate.
John McCain would be the choice if you bent my arm and forced me to vote repub. He's also the only one that stands a chance in nov.
No doubt, I'd like to see the democrats rule both houses and the presidency and get this country back in the hands of the middle class.
I'll settle on a dem controled house and john mccain if I had to though.
