I just hope that the backlash against GWB doesn't end with a liberal take over in the end(2008) I have been a life long liberal Democrat that has become increasingly unhappy with the route the party has taken.I do not support the war,but lets finish what we started.I will not vote for any party that coddles and rewards illegal aliens.No amnesty,enforce our laws,deportation and secure our borders.I live in Arizona and my state is being over run by illegals.It has to stop the cost of this "cheap" labor has become too high.
The $1.3 billion in costs incurred by Arizona taxpayers is comprised of outlays in the following areas:
Education. Based on estimates of the illegal immigrant population in Arizona and documented costs of K-12 schooling, Arizonans spend approximately $820 million annually on education for illegal immigrant children and for their U.S.-born siblings.
Health Care. Uncom-pensated medical outlays for health care provided to the state’s illegal alien population is now estimated at about $400 million a year.
Incarceration. The cost of incarcerating illegal aliens in Arizona prisons and jails amounts to about $80 million a year (not including the monetary costs of the crimes that led to their incarceration).
The unauthorized immigrant population pays some state and local taxes that go toward offsetting these costs, but they do not come near to matching the expenses. The total of such payments might generously be estimated at $257 million per year.
The fiscal costs of illegal immigration do not end with these three major cost items. The total costs of illegal immigration to the state’s taxpayers would be considerably higher if other costs such as special English instruction, school nutrition programs, or welfare benefits for American workers displaced by illegal alien workers were added into the equation.

Bush and the Republican Congress have had a lock on power in Washington for 6 years. They aren't performing well, to say the least. Voting out these corrupt members of Congress will restore some bipartisan sanity and restraint.

In a way, I feel that we need to elect as many democrats to congress as we can in order to restore checks and balance to the government.

It won't be detirmened by Bush, but it will certainly factor in. It's funny thinking of Bush pointlessly trashing the Democrats while he sits in the oval office, twiddling his thumbs, because he's a lame duck.

Many Republicans will be held accountable for the actions of the President.
Not saying it's fair, but it's just the way it is.
