Rob's good rant included:

"The other party knows that they can make things better for everyone by 
passing more laws and spending more money... a bigger-better govt IS the 
answer."

Well, of the other party, Clinton, whom knee-jerkers label a "tax and spend 
liberal," worked us out of the debt caused by and inherited from two 
Republicans. By the time he left office, a huge surplus was predicted and 
the pols of both sides were jockeying to see how they could spend the money.

I suspect that Kerry will represent more Americans than Bush. And at least 
he reconsiders when events prove that an earlier action was wrong. Bush is 
like a runaway horse with the bit in his teeth, hellbent on charging ahead 
no matter the consequences, no matter how many limbs are shredding the 
carriage. The carriage is us.
