Whe are we going to hear some actual policy ideas instead of the tired old Bush bashing?

I think they've whipped themselves up into such a frenzy they burned themselves out and missed the part where they are in control now. Like in making the policies that they will screw up and CAN'T blame on Bush!

Actual policies will not be made until after the primaries. Right now, Democratic and Republican candidates are running on a platform of "I'm the better part choice."
After the primaries, it becomes a head to head battle across party lines. Therefore, each candidate must put forth an agenda to counter the other candidate's and also to comply with their party's views.
If you are going to vote in your state's primary, go with the party that you think has America's best interest. After the primaries, you can then take at look at what each candidate stand for and make a better decision.

Interesting!! Bush is still in office. Bush is still pushing for the Iraqi war things that are happening here and now, polices that are going to be effect the tax payer for a long time to come.
Yet some republicans are still digging up Clinton who has been out of office for 7 years. Another interesting fact I don't see the republicans focusing on their compaign for 08.

They better get over Bush in a hurry. They are not going to be running against him in 2008, and the various congressional Republicans are distancing themselves from him also.

I would guess when the neocons stop bashing and hating Bill Clinton and hating Hillary for everything you claim Bill did. I think Republicans started all this bashing in trying to bring Clinton down in revenge for his denying George H.W. Bush a 2nd term in office. Bites, don't it?

The 2 are not mutually exclusive. They are starting to focus on 08 but will NEVER stop hating Bush.

right now... most are focused on Congress... maybe you've heard of the 100 hours where they passed many bills in the house... still work to do in the Senate though...
there was a LOT of policy there... and I am quite familiar with Edwards policies and Obama's to a lesser degree...
but, right now... Bush is still president... and no one is just going to ignore him while he's in office...heck, Repubs are still focused on Bill Clinton and that was 6 years ago?
but, the primaries haven't even started yet... so that's probably why... most people don't really care until then...

I think the policies od Democrat congressmen is just beginning to unfold (it's just their 1st month) and I think Bush may become impotent

Yeah this is a little like the pot calling the kettle black. I mean I still see repubs bash Clinton to death. Anyway I hope soon. Its about time a new direction gets put forth by both parties.

You'd have to be willfully ignorant to not know the Democrats policy ideas.
But come to think of it, that's a good definition of a Republican - willfully ignorant.
