I am shocked by the lack of understanding of what the differences between the parties are. One is a Republican party that has continued to tear down the QUALITY of all Federal Services such as FEMA, Urban Services (HUD) and Education; a party that has consistently supported a loss of Individual liberty except when it helped the super rich keep their money. The Democrats are by no means angels but if the choice is Hillary and the Democrats vs. McCain and the Republicans (continuing the War in Iraq), give me Hillary. What gives me hope for Obama is that he will work with Republicans like McCain and Paul when he is elected. The future is NOT with McCain
I also think people need to understand that politics is all about making deals. Congress is composed of many intelligent individuals who believe in a wide range and understand a wide and often contradicting set of facts. Only a skilled politician and make deals to get legislation passed. The hope is that the next President does not lose track of the People and their welfare.
Our current President does not compromise, does not reach out and you see what we have. The great Presidents know how to work with dissenters from their positions.
