bgates, it sounds like you are intent on hanging on to a sinking ship, that is your right.
The Iraq was is clearly the main thing that sunk the Republicans, the scandals only affected a few races. Like I said, we’ll see in the next two years how many Republicans start to publicly criticise the war, and at a minimum the running of the war. Side note: When nine retired generals came out last year to call for Rummy’s firing, did that not send a message??
You completely missed my point on the foreign press. The point is they have no interest or affiliation with American party politics (Rep vs democrat) so their opinions are unbiased from that perspective. EVERYTHING regarding US politics you read in this country has to be taken with a grain of salt due to party affiliations, etc. In Australia, for example, their opinions on American politics are at least honest and direct, not swayed by those influences.
