We get the government we deserve. In 1992 the Dems had it all..... what did they accomplish? Losing the Congress in 1994 is what. So the Dems bitched and the GOP bitched. The Dems blamed Clinton and let him swing... the GOP looked saw Clinton was vulnerable and went after him.... weakening the presidential office and giving Congress more power.

In 2000, the GOP won everything.... and didn't know what to do until 9/11.

Since then, the Conservatives say Bush isn't conservative enough, the Dems say Impeach, he has too many powers...... yadda yadda yadda and proceeded to lose the Congress in 2006 after domestically being very ineffective and damaging while taking the goodwill of the world from 9/11 and shoving it back at them and spitting in their faces.

It is all in how you look at it and which side you are on.

What this country does need to elect in 2008 is a unifier, healer and teacher someone who will unify this country, heal the rifts and teach us how to be proud to be American and what it means to be free and the greatest country this world has ever seen. We need a leader that enters the international landscape showing what our freedom can do, showing how the right balance of goodwill, government, capitalism, socialism and republican democracy can lead to better lives and a more educated, healthier and caring nation it leads to.

If we get another divider....we will be divided and eventually we will lose any hope of being able to unify and stay free.
