I realize that I have been down right mean towards many Democrats and Democratic Socialists.  What can I say, I feel it is more mean to be so incompetent that you foster policies that brutally harm America than to be ultra-critical of people who fit that description.

However I think humility may get me farther along the path to avoiding disaster.

Here is my plea.  I know 66% of you either hate Bush or don't approve of him.  I drive 140 plus miles a day so I too am hurting at the pump.  I know the median income has gone down and we are facing inflation.

I want y'all to tell me how voting for Democrats is going to help with any of these problems.

In the next 4-5 years, how are Democrats' policies going to help gas prices?

In the next 4 years, how will Democrats' policies fix Social Security and Medicare?  We're facing an entitlement spending crisis... of 52 trillion dollars over the next 30 to 50 years thats btw DWARFS the current WORLD GDP of 50 trillion dollars!  How about them apples?!

In the next 4 years, how will Democrats' policies grow our economy - and if they do grow it will it be more or less under Republican policies?

Listening to Chris Van Hollen on the Diane Rehm show this morning, all he could do was criticize Bush and the Republicans - he didn't offer one plausible solution for anything that would work!  It's so easy to criticize, it is so much harder to come up with government intervention into the private markets that makes sense.  Enlighten me.
