To slightly steal this posting..I am disgusted with the way both Republicans and Democrats are conducting campaigns. This was a nasty, dirty campaign year. Furthermore, by the third debate (when both candidates had been very clearly "brainwashed" about what to say) I felt that the questions should have been answered "Ditto." The campaign reform spending law obviously means zilch.

Goes to show you, something must be working.
Enjoy your beer and that wonderful blooming onion, and let's work together for this terrific land of ours!
We already have many entitlements for people who have children that they cannot afford to support, i.e., food stamps, WIC, housing subsidies, earned income credit, children tax credits, dependent care tax credit. People with children get money back in refunds that they never paid in. These are in place with the current administration. It doesn't matter how they are taking care of these children. Often the money from these entitelments is spent on trips, television sets and other parent comforts. Is this OK with you?
Morals should not be legislated by the government. It's much too subjective.
I don't want bigger government. I don't want redistribution of wealth, but I'm very concerned about the opinion of other countries. We share this planet with other countries and I have a problem with a president who does not care about this.
So, I'm not sure what changes people who voted for Bush were afraid of. He has to do a better job, not pacification of the democrats.
I agree that 'morals should not be legislated by the government'. But I believe that moral foundations should be, if not laid by the government, allowed by the government to EXIST if that is the will of the people.
While it is true that 'morals should not be legislated by the government', the larger truth is that immorality should not be legislated by the government. And that statement should be posted in the glass announcement case on the front lawn of every church in America this Saturday morning.
While you may not want bigger government and redistribution of wealth, it is a fact that those are the two largest planks of the Democrat party platform today and for the past 40 years.
We can all work toward a better positioning of ourselves in a larger global community. That may be an admirable goal worthy of some examination.
As to "what changes people who voted for Bush were afraid of", that's an awkward way to look at it. I didn't even consider what changes I was afraid of. I only considered voting for what I wanted continued, moved to a higher level and built upon.
I would vote for you and my record is very good for voting for winners!
