But where do we go? What do we do?

VK says "don't vote for an incumbent". Fine, I can see that. But let's look at our choices.

We can vote for Democrats, who will have to raise taxes to cover their profligate spending. Or we could vote for Republicans who will have to raise taxes to cover their profligate spending (that was worse than previous Democrats but not quite as bad as current Democrats). Neither one of them seems to know the meaning of the phrase "cutting spending"

We can vote for Democrats who want to redefine free speech into "non-offensive speech" or we can vote for Republicans who want to shred the Constitution's other clauses with warrantless wiretaps (even special 'express courts' and allowing 'after the fact warrants' aren't good enough for them). And Free Speech? Don't disagree with them or you're "supporting the terrorists". Neither one of them seems to understand the Constitution is a document to be taken as a whole - you don't just cherry-pick what you like.

What's left?
Another use of the Liberal term "warrantless wiretaps" to incite hate for Bush and Republicans.

Would you use this terminology if the use of wiretaps saved a member of you family.

By the way our privacy does not trump these methods according to Obamas new procedures which most agree with. Republicans generally agree with these methods no matter whether it is Bush or Obama using them.
