What is going to happen to the U.S. when Democrats resume the White House?

Question

I can only speak for myself, but that prospect scares the hell out of me. I kid you not.

This question was primarily food for thought. I don't like any war, although some have been undoubtedly necessary. I believe that things are as God allows them to be until He intervenes. But, as an international citizen and as an American, I can't help but wonder and worry for our future. Not that it makes any difference, but I happen to be democratic on most all issues.

Trovalta, I agree that many of those issues would be addressed and dealt with by a Democratic White House; however, if this war is not handled properly then those issues become moot. The security of this nation is balancing vicariously on a hair thin wire that could spring at any moment, a wire that had polarized this country and turned us against ourselves. My fear is that the terrorists who remain in the Middle East will exploit a White House that would have our troops prematurely depart, without having realized a self-sustaining government in Iraq.

Answer 1

I would assume we could then work to turn around the deficit, as Democrats have always done so well, and then finally solve some of our many domestic programs.
Only 653 days to go.

Answer 2

No need to get scared over what party wins the grand prize to the white house. The major trouble is with polarization of parties.

I would paint the building off white and declare it party-less.
Allow the people to vote, all US residents, including felons because they have experience just like politicians.
After the vote, let's hope a smart candidate with fine loyalty gets to the big building.

Congressmen and Senators are the ones we need to monitor better, too many appointees have sneaked by us with very poor judgment. we are smarter than that! watch your vote and hope.

Answer 3

Gee, I hope that doesn't happen. It was a Republican that got us into these wars and I want to see a Republican get us out of these wars. But then, I always said it would be easy to get into Iraq, the hard part would be getting out.

Answer 4

Most of the intelligent, adult Americans will breathe a collective sigh of relief and shed tears of happiness that the extreme right wing of neocon republicanism is no longer running our government and ignoring our Constitution and laws.

Answer 5

The budget will run a surplus and Mr. Cheney will stop reading my email?

Answer 6

Buy a boat. Bye bye. Get out. Nothing but damage from republicans anyway, no use keeping you around. Take your bush & dick with you, too.
