My 2 cents

I think the Democrats have set themselves up for another big disappointment. The biggest problem, in my opinion, is being so out of touch with voters.

As Liberals continue to dump America in the trash Conservative strength has grown and begin to come out of the shadows. Democrats have failed to realize Americans are reluctant to admit being conservative, but that is changing.

The Democrats choice to sling mud at the president during 911 and war time will come back to byte them. There is nothing wrong with criticizing our leader during these time when America looks to unify, but it needs to be done tactfully and not as a wolf looking to feed on a wounded pray.

One thing we all agree on is that America is in trouble. In times of uncertainty Americans tend to fall back on their roots for a sense of security. They tend to lean toward Conservatives. I consider myself the average Joe voter in that while I tend to lean toward the right, all things being equal, I cast my vote based on who I feel is best for the job. The problem I have with the left is I still have no idea what their plan is. If they spent just half the time and effort saying what they WOULD DO as they spend saying what our present administration is and has done wrong, they'd have 2008 in their pockets.

Both sides are ignoring what America is saying. The immigration issue is a good example. Americans have made it very clear they want the boarders sealed AND the criminals sent packing. So far all we've heard is OK we will throw some money at the boarder idea but we just can't send all these potential voters... er immigrants back home. America is sick and tired of hearing the "they do jobs Americas won't do" crap-o-la. No one is buying that crap. The one with the balls to stand up and face the issue head on will get my vote.

Speaking of facing issues head on. This is were Bush shines in my opinion. America wants leaders willing to make a stand be it popular or not. Again this reflects the troubled times we live in and a need for security. We want leaders who will say what they mean, and mean what they say despite the polls.

America was ready a while back to give democrats a shot but they dropped the ball. I believe today Americans may not like what they see in the Republicans agenda but they will see it as the lesser of two evils. It could be a simple win for the left it they would only adopt a platform saying the present administration has done the best they can considering now here is what we need to do from this point on. But I believe that is beyond the capacity of the left. They prefer to run on the look whats screwed up platform.

Oh, and no one is buying those anti-Bush propaganda videos, except maybe the left wing, I think they do more harm than good right now. It gives off the idea that Democrats think Americans are really stupid.

Democrats biggest screw ups:
Immigration issue
Attacking the president at every opportunity during trying times for America
Supporting the right to abuse the constitution
Spend more time complaining about the present administration than what they would do. Not what they would have done but what they would do.
