You seem to be repeating a republican party rallying cry.

Well... lets put this into perspective. I don't watch the news and refuse to vote. I haven't watched more than 30 minutes of news in the last couple years. I didn't watch the debates. I could care less. I could care less who gets elected President because I personally don't think it matters. I think the USA is dying. I think it will die. Not die in terms of failing to exist, but "die" in terms of being relegated to a 3rd rate first world country whose influence will continue to shrink from year to year. Parents are failing. Government is failing. Schools are failing. Any sense of values, morals, personal accountability, responsibility and so on, disappearing. States are failing etc etc etc etc. Obesity alone is choking the medical system. People are gluttonous and can't be saved from themselves. Give them a credit card and a $10,000 limit and they will spend that 10,000 even though they have no ability to pay it back.. then they will convince themselves they are the victims. This is the new world we now live in. A nation of people who blame everyone else for their issues and a government which is all too happy to send that message to get elected and appease the mob.
I am a lot like DWB in that regard. I've spent enough time in foreign countries and traveling to understand the difference between countries that are hungry for success and countries that lost that hunger decades ago. You can't legislate desire, the will to succeed, determination, values and so on.
I don't think Democrats or Republicans are the solution. I think believing they are, is the problem.
