Hankster, OK I see you're satisfied to give Bush a 3rd term by voting McCain. I'm not, and that's probably the main reason I won't vote for him.

Yes, the Democratic Congress is a seething cesspool of disappointment. They've had the majority for over a year and haven't done squat. Well maybe they squat, but that's about it. If a third party could become viable I'd like nothing more than to send the Dems and Reps packing. That's delusional, I know.

As bad as things are, I don't think it's a big risk giving the Obama kid a chance. His social programs will fizzle the instant he's introduced to fiscal reality. The only way those programs (undefined as they are) is to follow the fiscal plan developed by Bushco. I think the tide has turned such that any Dem elected now has no choice but to be fiscally conservative. At least the role reversal makes for entertainment, of indifferent quality of course.
