With that said, I'm extremely happy that Saddam and his cronies are dead. They were the scum of the earth and treated people terribly. The unfortunate thing seems to be.. because of how poor that country is and how insane their religion is.. it seems like the only way to govern a country like that is an out of control tyrant like Saddam. I really hope democracy works over there.. it will take decades before we find out if the Iraq war makes the world a better place... though that still wont justify the WMD lies.
I hate the out of control spending by both parties. Repubs pretend they are conservative yet Bush outspent anyone until Obama came along. And Obama is no better.. actually worse.. he's Bush times 100.
we're screwed unless we can get a good third party going.

I'd say we're about 75% in agreement. Not too shabby.
I'm reading a book right now (just released) "The Manchurian President". I know, I know - those who think POTUS walks on water wouldn't say a bad word about him no matter what he did/does. But, that man is truly scary.
The Republicans are a joke - trying to walk a fence and getting hit by traffic on both sides.
Yearning for a candidate of any party who is for the people and not growing big government via outrageous spending and taxation.
