If you look at the war in Iraq alone, you will be swayed to a Democratic Corgress.
The Republicans have dominated the political scene over the past decade, and more so since 2001. When they decided to enter Iraq, they did so without even debating the issue with Democrats. We warned of Civil War, insurrection, increased terrorism, instability in the region, and a long term deadly commitment. They ignored us and called us weak. Now, if we had at least been able to force debate, perhaps some of the mess could have been avoided.
Our government was desigend for checks and balances. Time to check and balance a little.

Obviously a rRepublican Congress and a Republican President hasn't worked. Since the president's term isn't up yet, the only alternative is a democratic congress. Someone has to hold the Bush Administration accountable. Then Bush could also act as a check and balance on Congress.

Independent voters, like myself, should vote for whomever they are most comfortable with.I am very uncomfortable with my current "representation" so I will be voting anti-incumbent. My incumbents are Republicans.
I do like my governor, who's a Democrat with a 74% approval rating. Find me a Republican with numbers like that.
Government is based on a system of "checks and balances". With one party in control of all 3 branches, Democrats or Republicans, all you get is a bunch of "checks" and no balance.

Independent voters should carefully weigh the issues and the people running for office and vote their conscience.
Come to think of it, ALL voters should do that.
I've already voted absentee because I don't trust the electronic voting machines. Dem gov, Rep sen, Dem Representative. I judged the people, not the party.

that is critical to because in the adventure that they vote for the self sustaining candidate their vote is lost, through there being such diverse more effective registered Democrats and Republicans. The Democratic applicants imagine more effective like the self sustaining and this u . s . a . very a lot needs a drastic replace!

Vote for whomever you want in office regardless of the party.

Anything that will weaken the strangle hold the neo-cons have on the government would be a good thing.
