Was there a need to answer your question? I believe you had already answered your question with your own hypethetical version of "mistakes". It's so easy to be a "Monday Morning Quarterback". I suspect that if you had been privy to the classified information that BOTH the Democrats and Republicans was privy too you also would have concluded that there was WMD's in Iraq and would have voted to give, in fact encourage, the President to go to war with Iraq especially after the happenings of 9/11. Neither party is without guilt in this catastrophe. The only difference is now the Democrats are distancing themselves from it to attempt to draw some differences between them and the Republicans. At least the Republicans have the balls to stay and hang it out until things get better. Minus this single difference, there is little difference between the core of the two parties. Neither party has come out on any real issues that effect you and me, the little man. Both parties have their hands in the pockets of big business and the wealthy. Neither party has come out and publicly denounced NAFTA. Neither has offered a real solution to illegal immigrants. Neither has offered any solution to all the outsourcing of jobs and the overall loss of jobs that has our economy in a real bind. Neither has offered any real solution to the proliferation of nuclear weapons. In fact Kerry's plan for the limiting the proliferation of nuclear weapons is almost identical to Bush's other then the fact he would open dialogue with North Korea which is probably the worst thing anyone could do now.
I'm a 40 yr. old independant voter and I've voted for Republicans and Democrats alike throughout my lifetime. It just seems the older I get the further away the Democrats get from my core sense of values. This may be the first time in my life I vote a straight ticket because I see no real commitment to change anything worthwhile from the Democratic Party.
