that’s a good message to run on. That’s what Bob Casey is doing against Santorum here in Pennsylvania, and is working very well. I like Santorum’s passion—he presents himself well in debates—but man, the guy’s totally abrogated his Constitutional responsibility to hold the Executive branch in check!

Woody,

Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I don’t know that I agree about not mattering who is in office today. I would have agreed before the 2000 election. Since then, something has happened to Republicans. They have shifted to an extreme never before seen in America. While they are in power, Democrats have had to stay somehow in the middle, looking like flip-floppers, but the only way to convert Republicans and independents is to convince voters that Republicans’s portrayal of Democrats is not as stark and bad as Republicans would want voters to think.

One thing I will be glad for when Democrats come to power is that they can push legislation that is in dire need of passing: raising minimum wage, cutting spending to match the lower revenue from lower taxes so our national debt does not continue to rise, making our children pay for our gluttony.

These days it doesn’t really matter who is in office… they’re all cut from pretty much one side or the other of the same cloth.
