IMO, the three Presidential candidates are so bad that we should shift our focus to the Senate and Congressional races to prevent any of them from implementing their agendas, particularly in the area of global warming. I think the GOP has thrown in the towel for the upcoming election. I wouldn't be surprised to see much bigger Dem majorities in both legislative houses. Throw in a light weight lefty, neophyte Obambi in the White House, mix and stir, and you've got a recipe for a poisonous cocktail. Subsequent damage to this country is almost a sure bet, with the only upside being that after a few years of this, the country will look back at the Bush years as Paradise Lost. The GOP has been and is getting justly hammered because too many of them forgot what the GOP is supposed to be all about. The consequences of the Dems running wild, however, is going to teach both the GOP and this country a needed lesson. All we can do is batten down the hatches and ride out the storm the best we can..

It is crucial to limit the number of new seats that the democrats win this Fall. Unfortunately, too few voters think in these terms. Today's generation(s) think only in terms of bumper sticker slogans. I am becoming more and more convinced that it may be necessary to abandon McCain in order to save the conservative wing of the republican party. In terms of GW, I doubt there is a single corporation in America who hasn't jumped on board the green money machine. That, I don't mind so much since I usually have some buyer's choice in the matter. But, with the US and State and local governments spending my tax dollars on "worthless feel good projects", it is apparent that we need to elect some people with at least a tad of common sense. I am not holding my breath however, because the the american public has not felt nearly enough pain. It is coming.
