North Carolina is the most progressive state in the south, our state senate/governors/etc are all democrats and yet nationally we vote for Republicans.


If Obama wins, I'm rooting for him to do the right things and get America back on track but if he doesn't I'm going to call him out on it.
The problem is that, no matter who wins, the country is not going to get back on track for years. I know you don't seem to like Bill Clinton, but at least we were operating in the black for a bit during his term. The war, economically speaking, is only beneficial to select groups in our country - while being essentially devestating to the nation as a whole. I hear a lot of rationalization as to the reasons behind the slumping economy, but a lot of that is just plain bullshit. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

When was the last time the US dollar was this weak, relative to the global economy?
