Guys,
Since I have been of age to vote the final vote always comes down to the lesser of the two evils.
As for the deficit situation I think much of this is situation is smoke and mirrors. We go from unbelievable surpluses which succeeded record deficits and now back into forecasted record deficits. After WWII with unbelievable deficits we somehow recovered rather quickly and as a baby boomer I can't say that I knowingly suffered economically.
I think we need to deal with the subject at hand. First, ensure that our country is secure. This is undoubtedly costly. At the same time there have been many new areas in business created by the situation. Next, we need to focus on getting our people back to work. The hiring swing upward always lags the economy swinging upward. There are so many areas that we need to work on that I can't even count them on all my fingers and toes.
Bush has muddied the water with the illegal immigrant situation, in my mind. I can only hope he has some vision that I don't have in many areas.
As the Democratic field narrows and they come up with their final candidate then we will see who makes the most sense. From what I hear from my wife if Lieberman looked and sounded like Edwards he would probably get the nod. You know these gals vote based on good looks! With Kerry's anti-war efforts after his service there he might actually come out a winner, atleast on the single point. Clark is good looking so that might sway the feminine vote but he has the skeleton of being fired, for whatever reason, by Clinton....the ultimate draft dodger. Something doesn't seem right there. Clark used our military might to stop the oppression in Bosnia but then later says we weren't right in going to war against someone who had undoubtedly killed 100K+ of his own people needlessly. This is a little mind-boggling.
Dean, even with his toned down rhetoric, is still "out there!"
Phew! This is too much for me to think about! I think I will go have a beer...maybe it will all go away!
