I'd say the Republicans have a mixed record. The economy, by the same measures used to say Clinton's policies were successful, is doing well (e.g. unemployment is low, inflation is low, wages are growing, etc).

Yes, I would agree that the economy is not doing bad. Tax policy is still horredous.

Iraq is a mess, no doubt.

The war on terror (WOT) is apparently going well - that is we haven't had an attack on US soil since 911.

the WOT is non-existant in my humble opinion. Iraq has absolutly nothing to do with our terrorist probple. We should have stayed in Afghanastan and finished the job. We still need better communication between law enforcement areas, port security, airline security is still lax in areas. Throwing people of middle eastern descent into prison with no chance at lawyers and tourtouring (sp)them does nothing.

The biggest problem with voting Dems into office is that they have yet to propose anything that would resolve the problems in Iraq. And I just can't see the benefits of having Speaker Pelosi.

The democrats have proposed segregating Iraq into four autonoumous regions. These religious factions have been fighting for centuries and the fresh air of democracy will do nothing to stop it.

As for me, I'm voting Libertarian.
