Well Norm....in a way I would agree with you....as somethings would seemingly be inevitable with a growing country....BUT....its not always where you end up....you have to consider how you got there.

For example...I gurantee the democrats--if empowered-- will rake in record high tax revenues....but it wont be due to tax cuts....it will be due to the largest tax increase and government expansion in history. Hence...the government will also "create" jobs......by means of inventing them out of thin air.

Put it this way, Badmutha, if an 8-year Administration failed to make any one of these claims.....something would be drastically wrong....right? So, I don't know if I would trumpet those accomplishments too much...they are only expected. If Obama is president for 8 or even just 4 years, I bet the stock market, job growth, GDP, tax revenue, etc. all hit record highs. Because he will be such a good president....no, not necessarily. It's just the way it is.
Well lay your money on the table....and I will collect in 2012. If this country elects Barrack (dont call me Hussein) Obama...the #1 Liberal in the US....and hands an overwhelming majority to the democrats in the House and Senate.....then the things you "Expect"....might not be so apparent as they have been in the past.

When what you expect becomes what you crave...chances are your up to your neck in liberalism

Well, not very well, oh bad one....although I'm not sure it was all that great in 2006. My two big concerns....1) debt - both national and personal and 2) a growing disparity in the wealth distribution.
Well even if you say 2006 wasnt all that great.....then 2008 would be considered what??.... Disastrous?? Horrendous??

2 years of a democrat controlled Congress...imagine 4 years of of a democrat controlled Congress and the #1 Liberal as president.....I hopefully wont see you in the bread lines.....but if you are....make sure you and your fellow democrats go last....because you voted for disaster.
