Didn't you read my post.

Didn't you read mine? It was addressed solely to the question of why this section isn't as active as it once was, not any of that other stuff you mentioned.

Toasty that's not fair.. You Democrats needed some humble pie.. and now you've had a piece so get back to the drawing board and own your legislation.. The jibberish was also right.. It isn't better out there. You educated Dems need to get down from your ivory tower and talk to the lowly peasants..

The Democrats in Congress should be ashamed -- I'm not sure if it's on account of feckless pusillanimity or self-interested grandstanding, but they have royally blown it. The Republicans are no better, though, with their whole platform being to stop whatever the democrats want to do, period. Neither of those things have anything with the reason I've been less active in my posting, though.

I'll judge Obama on what he does and not what he says. A great speech, but let's see some action. Unemployment still high, no health care plan, two wars still going on with Taliban resurgence, Osama still at large, Gitmo still open, more debt than ever, no changes to securities laws, higher taxes on the way. A few wins even smaller battles under his belt would get him and his party moving in the right direction. Moving the terror trials out of NYC would be a good start.

Toasty I am rooting for the democrats because I sure as hell don't want the NeoCons back in. Also because I want the economy to swing back around. That Toyota recall has totally devastaded this region where i live. 2 Plants within 100 miles of each other are closing Feb 1 until further notice..

Neoconservatism died at the failure of McCain and the growth of the Tea Party Movement (one reason why pretty much all anti-neocons should be supporting it.)

I don't think Neocons have much of a chance anymore.

Once conservatives and republicans realize we have spent billions of dollars and sacrificed thousands of lives and families to build up what will ultimately become an islamic democracy much like Iran (meaning, all for naught), there's little chance that Wilsonian foreign policy will see the light of day in the future. And those facts aside, also consider nobody wants to spend more money on other countries...people are really wanting to keep our tax dollars working for us at home.
