Being a lifelong democrat I hate to, but have to agree with dk. The first 6 years of republican control wasn't great but not that bad considering the problems that had to be dealt with during that time.
I don't agree with rekop's statement that the republicans are solely responsible for running up the national debt the last 8 years. The democratic party controlled congress the last two years and in this last two years the national debt has skyrocketed. If you claim to be a democrat and can't accept your party has allowed, for the last two years, the national debt to climb out of control, and for the last two years, the economy going to pot then shame on you.
I do agree with rekop that the national debt has to be dealt with now, not at a later date.
We the voters have to remember one thing, Campaign promises are just that, campaign promises that IMHO are made only to influence your vote, nothing more. Almost every elected official has made promises to get elected knowing they can't guarantee the promises will be enacted. The informed voter knows this and keeps it in prospective.
