After all the promises, will the people now be guaranteed that amount, or will they continue to be exploited?

Conservatives:

Many see what we're doing in the Iraq and don't care about the lives being lost on both sides. Most of these people are struggling to exist and they are caught in between crazy Islamic radicals and the US. It's costing our country in lives and money, but they will blindly follow their leader until the end. Anyone that doesn’t agree with them will be called unpatriotic. Most will emotionally oppose abortion, but shrug if they see a 5 year olds dead body in the streets of Iraq.

Liberals:

Everyone deserves a free ride, if someone doesn’t want to work let’s provide for them. Illegal immigrants are great, in fact let’s change our country to accommodate them. War is never necessary. Let the world walk all over the US. Let’s tax business until it can’t take it and it leaves to save money in foreign countries.

I don't understand how you can argue for killing of an unborn child for the sake of a mothers choice, but argue against the killing of a convicted criminal.

The most common answer I have heard is that the criminal may be innocent of the crimes he/she has been convicted of and therefore not deserve the death penalty. But an un-born child has not had a chance to be anything but innocent. I have also heard that the death penalty is cruel an unusual punishment. But partial birth abortions are pretty horrific themselves. I don't understand the situational ethics.

Someone explain this to me.

I haven't seen this. Ever since 94, the Dems have NEVER looked at themselves to see out what they were doing wrong. It was always someone else's fault - "the Reps used scare tactics, the voters are ignorant, the Reps stole elections, the Reps prevented us from getting our message out [as if they ever HAD much of a message...]" etc.

This "win" for the Dems will be easily lost in 08 if that party does not take a good look at itself and what it has done wrong, and how it fails to connect with people, and why many people find them distasteful.

While they did win, they barely squeaked by, and the margin of majority in both houses is razor thin. It was hardly a resounding victory, and hardly a "mandate" from the voters that they wanted a wholesale change.

What say you? Remember, I'm talking about the Dems here - yes, the Reps have messed up with their base, but they DID hold power for the past 14 years. So they did SOMETHING right, at least for a little while.

SO far, it seems the difference is that when reps do it, it is changing their mind, but when dems do it, it is flip flopping'. What is YOUR definition? And this time, please answer the question, and refrain from personal attacks.

if you don't then read this link and educate yourself about the other side of the Israeli/Palestinian situation.
Western media ignores the plight of he Palestinian people in favor of a pro Israel whitewash..
There's much more to it than most Americans realize..

when i went to school he belong to the "democratic republican" party, and this party later formed the democratic party we have today. But i see in the middle school textbook they use in my (republican) school district, he is called "the first Republican president"... even tho the republican party wasn't formed until the 1840s! They even list all the qualities of "Republicanism". Is this a case of republican textbook writers rewriting history?

People grow up believing in a certain party and become blind to what is best for them. It does not seeem to matter if their political party becomes corrupt, they still support them.
They don't even want to consider the opposing sides ideas.

Choosing a party should not have to be a lifetime decision. Sometimes people need to do what's right.. like many finally did on Tuesday. But how can there STILL be such blindness when the lies are exposed?

Isn't it about time we became the United States of America again?Stop all of this partisan nonsense.Just because you belong to the same party as someone running for or currently in office doesn't mean you should agree with everything they do or say.I don't align myself with any one party.I try to make decisions as to who will be best for this country.Can't we all start doing this?
