Since I breathe, drink, and eat, it's not in my best interest to vote Republican.

Since I don't believe these are The End Times and that there's no need to plan for anytime beyond next year, it's not in my best interest to vote Republican.

I don't automatically assume that girls are icky or gross or can't take care of themselves without a big strong

Since a large portion of the country (read majority) have voted Republican, and will vote Republican, what will you do? Move or accept the Republican regime?

I just wonder, since the economy is "so bad" and them liberals like to give out money for nothing, can you really see us getting out of debt anytime in the near future? Just remember, taxing businesses and those millionaires will only decrease new job expansion.

Last election, a majority of people *didn't* vote Republican, due in no small part to the fact that the economy had been tanking since right about 2000.

As for your second paragraph, I dunno about giving out money for nothing. That seems to be more of a "spend and spend" Republican thing.

And yes, I can see us getting out of debt. Look at the figures for the entirety of Clinton's presidency, as opposed to the regimes of Reagan, Bush I or Bush II: When the Republicans were in the White House, taxes went down but we had recession. When we have someone fiscally responsible in the White House, taxes may be higher, but overall, the economy is MUCH better, so the debt is paid down quickly while most people actually enjoy GREATER prosperity, higher employment, and a better economy overall.

I know *I* sure as hell did.

It's just a simple fact: If you don't want to pay for it, you shouldn't be buying it. It's true for you, it's true for me, it's true for millionaires, it's true for governments.

Sorry, I should have worded better. Majority of people = majority of electoral college

Ok... now I know something's odd.

"Last election, a majority of people *didn't* vote Republican"

I'm curious what that means.

It means that the Republicans lost a whole lotta seats in the House and Seante, relinquishing their majorities. They are now the filibustering minority.

My bad. I thought this post was referring to the "presidential election" coming up. I haven't done much research on AZ's reps yet. I'm a bit more concerned as to who the leader of the free world will be post 2008.
