New Control

No flaming here. There is no way we can just pull troops out of Iraq and leave that government to clear out its own mess. It would result in a tragedy for their country. I don't think anybody would want that.

Sad day in America from my perspective. Pelosi, Speaker of the House, is a disaster for our country. This is the last anyone will hear from me on this. Let the Dems prove us wrong (I hope). From a former Dem.

I hope for the best, but fear the worst. I fear higher taxes, more gun control (which means less balance of the people versus the government), and more intrusion on civil liberties than even the Republicans have done (and they've gone way too far!). I wish there was a viable 3rd party! Like Libertarians with better candidates and slightly less radical ideas.

I don't know, if we have higher taxes, we ought to...I'd like to see how popular the war would be if the government raised taxes to pay for it beforehand rather than borrowing hundreds of billions that our decendants will have to repay. Republicans want us to spend money to fight terrorism, which Americans agree with so long as it doesn't impact their budget. How many would've voted for the war if it was accompanied by a bill to raise taxes to cover the $6-7 billion a month that the war is costing?

I'm all for a cmnd+opt+esc (or ctrl+alt+del for you PC peeps) of government and starting clean fresh with people who aren't five times as old as dirt. We need new perspectives and more open minded individuals, as well as those who don't have motivation by companies that have hands in their pockets giving them a good rub for certain privileges. Look at how they're reacting to video games and pretty much anything else nowadays. They don't care, they don't know, they just vote against the "evil" of the world so that they can get people on their side to vote for them when re-election time comes up. Where's the "for the people" in government anymore? I can't remember the last time there was anything voted for that would actually benefit me as a citizen of the United States. And you have to wonder why taxes are going to be raised, especially since we pay out the ears in taxes here, there and everywhere. We're almost to the point where we're being taxed on our taxes and there are how many people in the US? Makes you wonder how there's such a severe deficit. And as a side note, where does one get an official United States Card that allows you to spend and spend and spend and spend without any real need to ever pay it all back? I'm about due for a new home theater...
