On that we agree. Of course the over 100 republican filibusters certainly has not helped. The Dems are still short of a majority and the Republicans won't let them get anything done.

Obama or McCain - really won't make much of a difference, except for who they appoint to toss into the fire. They've been handed a situation and they both have the same limited options.

The Supreme Court is tossing people into the fire? I'm sure you are speaking figuratively, but that's not what they are appointed to do. We're all in the fire in that sense. But the high court is tipping to the right and I hate to see the scales of justice reach a complete imbalance. Which of course it will if McCain or Palin have a say in making appointments. Some days, I figure God might let it go that way and America will completely fall like Rome. Other days, I think, maybe not - and I keep fighting.

To expect one will do remarkably better than the other is self-delusion. Make your choice and cast your vote.

Jerry, if you believe that, why do you care who wins? You sound more cynical than me - which is pretty damn cynical.

Right now I'm willing to vote for Palin - she looks like she doesn't take herself too seriously and knows how to have fun.

So, you're voting for the hot babe then? I'm not surprised. When you have no substance, go for the pretty people. I really do fear for the near future of America, Jerry. And people like you take it very, very lightly. So sad.

And frankly, I don't care what the rest of the world thinks. Our political and economic situation does not depend on what 'they' think of the average America. Our opinion of them doesn't influence the world situation.

Jerry -

Spoken like a true-blue Bushie. Heck of a job, Brownie.
