Sorry you dont feel that way. On another note, I wont argue the Iraq war. I myself have mixed feelings about it.
You should go get some popcorn and continue to sit and watch. In the mean time, quit posting.

Re: happening faster than you thought
For the record, I am neither a Republican or Democrat, registered independent.
I found this interesting:
Remember the election in 2006? Thought you might like to read the following:
A little over two years ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.
Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen:
1) Consumer confidence plummet;
2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3.50 a gallon;
3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);
5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;
6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
America voted for change in 2006, and we got it!
Remember it's Congress that makes law not the President. He has to work with what's handed to him.
Quote of the Day........
'It's not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they've got a chance for success too, my attitude is that if the economy's good for folks from the bottom up, it's gonna be good for everybody ... I think when you ------ the wealth around, it's good for everybody." -- Barack Obama
So Obama wants to ------ the wealth around? I'd perfer people who generated the wealth to keep it. Why should you or I give my money to people who didn't earn it?
Let's make something perfectly clear- When Obama speaks about taxing those who make over $250,000 a year he was very clear that was $250 in REVENUE not PROFITS.
My little company Relentless Performance pulled in more than that in a year, but profit is a far different story than the total of checks coming in- You have rent, salary, shipping, local taxes, electric, inventory, R&D expenses, etc. The list goes on and on. After your monthly overhead is paid for there wasn't a lot of money left (the profit part) to feed my family.
Obama wants to tax based on the dollar amount coming in, not the profit after bills are paid.
Can anyone say Jimmy Carter II?
To a few of you that means nothing, but to someone who lived through that disaster in the 70's it is to be avoided again at all costs. Were still living with bad choices made by Carter when he was in office.
Cuba got change in 1958, be careful what you wish for.
Part 2: Taxes...Whether Democrat or a Republican you will find these statistics enlightening and amazing.
www.taxfoundation.org/publications/show/151.html
Taxes under Clinton 1999 Taxes under Bush 2008
Single making 30K - tax $8,400 Single making 30K - tax $4,500
Single making 50K - tax $14,000 Single making 50K - tax $12,500
Single making 75K - tax $23,250 Single making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 60K - tax $16,800 Married making 60K- tax $9,000
Married making 75K - tax $21,000 Married making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 125K - tax $38,750 Married making 125K - tax $31,250
Both democratic candidates will return to the higher tax rates It is amazing how many people that fall into the categories above think Bush is screwing them and Bill Clinton was the greatest
President ever. If Obama or Hillary are elected, they both say they will repeal the Bush tax cuts and a good portion of the people that fall into the categories above can't wait for it to happen. This is like the movie The Sting with Paul Newman; you scam somebody out of some money and they don't even know what happened.
