Republicans have class unlike democrats

Sad to see but the Republicans have turned into a party of simpletons. The fiscal conservative views are only good if they are in the minority.

If the markets do well under Obama in the next 4 years, the Democrats will have the liberal vote as well as the fiscal conservatives. There was always the worry that Dems would screw up the economy and stock market...so people voted with their wallet in mind. Now that seems to have changed already...and if it plays out well, you won't see a Republican president for decades.
In fact, Dems have nothing to lose by being fiscally conservatives and socially liberal. Win Win situation...because the liberals won't have anywhere to turn to anyways. You can already see this strategy developing with the stimulas. The Republicans are being in a sense.."forced" to vote for tax cuts, but ultimately the credited will be given to Dems/Obama for this plan.

Like I said, a party of simpletons..not fit to run the most important country in the world. The Bushes/Palin types now symbolize Republicans.....when I saw those Palin rallies, I knew it then.

>>>Republicans have class unlike democrats<<<

Time will tell you that you've been wrong; time will tell that Democrats have also been wrong. But where are we at, given what we can do ... the only practical alternative for a better view of tomorrow is Democrats -- they're more sensitive to the true needs of all, not just some, people.

My preference would be lots of parties competing for the best ideas ... but we don't get that in America, land of the free, do we?

So stick to the decaying GOPwinger line, if you like. History will go right by ya ... I assure ya! In fact, it might already have done so. Just food for thought, longnshort ... just food for thought!!!
