Regardless of who wins the 2008 election. Do you believe any real change will take place?

Answer 1

I doubt any of the changes I would like to happen will occur. But I'm going to vote anyway. I refuse to do less than the people in Iraq and Afghanistan to establish a Democratic Republic.

I can always hope politicians will actually balance the budget. Revise the entire tax code. Change the electoral college for an winner takes all to a proportional allocation. Make a 100 mile radius around DC a no lobbyist zone. Abolish ALL political parties.

Answer 2

Yes, I do. I believe that in January 2009 the direction of this country as pertains to the Iraq War and the fight against terrorism will change drastically. It's almost two years away and it's impossible to know exactly where we will sit with Iraq in two years. But if Bush's past history is any example, it will very close to where we are now. I think the new President will drastically change our course in Iraq if it even remotely resembles the mess we can see right now.

The biggest change though will come in the fight against terrorism. I think the new President will make a herculean effort to bring all Allies to the table to join together, as equal partners, in the fight against terrorism. Possibly putting together an international military force to respond to terrorist attacks as well as developing a system of merging all terrorism intelligence from participating countries. If we are to truly defeat terrorism, this world must work together. No more cowboy'ing it up, no more dictating to the rest of the world, but working together in a way reminiscent of Allied cooperation in WWII. If we don't do this, and do it soon, we will remain vulnerable to planned attacks from every new terrorist cell that has sprung up in all parts of the globe.

Answer 3

yes. the socialists seem to feel the American people have given them an endorsement, and by damn they're going to use it. i fully expect that if one of them wins, they will try to change our laws radically. if you pay attention, they already are.

did you know that some in the Senate recently tried to pass a law so that they wouldn't have to hear from me or you anymore? doesn't that defeat the purpose of our government? how can they represent people if they don't know what they want? this bill would have changed the way websites posted information on legislation under consideration by the Senate, something that if we want to be involved, we need to know. there would have been other changes as well, there would have been no more groups you could join to get info from, like the American action alert people or whoever they are. fortunately it did not pass, but this piece of legislation should alarm all of us. it very well could have.

it was a grassroots lobbying provision in S.1, the Legislative Transparency and Accountability Act of 2007. (section 220)(i'm getting this from the letter my senator sent me on this.) Senator Bennett, whoever he is, authored an amendment that removed that provision from the bill.

the rest of the legislation reduces improper influence of special interests. that's great.

Answer 4

i am going to assert Mitt Romney. He particular has my vote. i don't like McCain's record. i found his Senate record and printed it on my blog. when you're curious have a glance for your self. it isn't marvelous. Huckabee made a fact to the click that John McCain does no longer want him to end the race so he's not. look out we are coping with some those who're dealing in dirty politics. in the adventure that they attempt this with yet another candidate what is going to they do to us the yank people? The applicants for the Democrats, properly, can we fairly want 4 more beneficial years of bill and Hillary Clinton. i imagine 8 years of scandals grow to be sufficient. Barrack Obama is to busy protecting himself hostile to Hillary that you quite understand what he's status for. Mitt is the in trouble-free terms one through this finished tangled internet that has stood out. He has the expertise to fix the damaged monetary equipment.

Answer 5

No. Nothing will change until either Jesus comes back (not the kind of change you are referring to, but one big change!!) or we elect a principled president who will do something like veto all legislation and keep Congress in session until we have some safeguards enacted. Safeguards like term limits for legislators, sunsets on all legislation, transparency for all legislation & legislator contacts (vote-trading, log-rolling, and lobbyist influence). As long as we have candidates put forward who really are proxies for special interest groups (or, to take it to a higher level of abstraction, groups of special interest groups), we will just get more struggles for more power, resulting in more domestic strife, less unity, and making us more vulnerable to loss of liberty and attacks from without.

Answer 6

Well, whoever takes the office, it will take years and years to undo what this administration has done.

If the Democrats take the office (and I hope they do, but not Clinton), they will get the blame within 2 weeks of taking office for not doing anything!!!! If the Republicans take office, it will be same as what is going on now.

Answer 7

I'm hoping that whoever is our next president will be able to undo the damage Dubya has done to the world view of America. I'm hoping that the next president will be able to bring our troops home from Iraq and start focusing on the REAL War on Terror.

Answer 8

Yes.
Dems will raise taxes and put huge strains on businesses. They will also deny tort reform, which prevents people from suing drug companies that make vaccines for Avian Bird Flu in the event of a pandemic.

If Hillary wins, I may move to Europe.

Answer 9

No.

Even if either party wanted to initiate real change, they lack the votes to effect it. As such, they will just continue to roll along, soliciting our votes by blaming each other for all of the problems we face.

Answer 10

If we go with Hillary yes things will change.
We soon be living like in the series Jericho.

Liberals will walk around wondering why this happen we got rid of Bush the world should love us now.
