What absurd choices the Republicans have been making for the last 8 years. From what I have discerned, and verified through many conversations with my conservative brethren "small government" means "tax cuts" and nixing any programs that could actually help anyone. So its all basically about "tax cuts", vote for the candidate who promises to give you the most money. Is this really a tough choice from the candidate of the highest integrity.
My point is; wouldn’t it have been a lot smarter to vote for the candidate making the real tough choices and who may have raised your taxes a few hundred bucks, instead of loosing around a quarter of a million from your 401k/retirment/etc. The mean spirited, petty minded among us, deserve their candidates and the havoc they have caused, but it is ironic that we liberals/rational citizens are paying equally for this mess.
We have been strapped into this slow motion, 8 year long train wreck. Looking forward to crawling out of the wreckage. This is my first post so hopefully all will go well.
