We had 8 years of the neocon way and what has that got us? Record defict, flat wages, high inflation, a orgy of wasteful spending by a so called conservitive congress. We pay the most of any country in the world for health care but were ranked low for the quality of it. We have seen the biggest transfer of wealth from the bottom to the top in the history of the world, and do you want more of the same?
I won't even talk about the corruption that goes on in Washington that cost us all money.
The democrats are not much better but I don't think the "conservitives"are the answer either. They had there shot and our country is worse off for it
I usually vote as an independent, and I voted for Mcain in 2000 primary because I liked what he said. I would like to see no one pay any taxes,I would have some money to finish my car.

You get your opinions from the MSM huh? First, a neocon by definition is "someone who claims to be conservative but who is actually more in line with liberal policies". Neocons are not conservatives.
Second, the economy started it's downward trend long before Clinton left office. In spite of the war, the first six years of Bush's administration saw a rebound in the economy.
Third, the deficit was far higher under Truman than it is now. It is definitely a problem but it is no record. It is also the fault of both parties, arguably more so the democrats since they are far more guilty of unecessary expenditures.

Your health care comment is pure fantasy. We probably pay less for health care than most civilized countries unless you neglect to include the horrendous tax burdon that people in countries with government-run health care pay. Liberals love to point to countries like Norway as an example of how we should live. Never mind that by the Government of Norway's own numbers, their citizens pay an overall tax rate that varies from 70% to just under 87%. NO THANK YOU. If our health care is so bad why do tens of thousands of people from Canada and the U.K. come here to pay for our health care rather than use the "free" health care at home?

As far as corruption goes, neither party has a monopoly on that.
