I find it very odd that the Republicans love to depict the Democrats as the "tax and spend party" yet it is under the Republicans that the National Debt is approaching 10 trillion dollars while we borrow billions from China and have another banking scandal (sub prime loans) that surpasses the Savings and loan folly of years ago (another Republican mess). While we have a record number of billionaires and Corporations that are "cash cows" we have a middle class that is stagnating and millions without health coverage. This nations esteem in the eyes of the world is at an all time low. We are fast slipping to a third rate country just to satisfy a Texan playing cowboy. Bush is one kid that shouldn't play with guns, he has shot himself in the foot to many times. Say what you want, this is one American that is proud to be a Democrat.
