I couldn't disagree more strongly with this statement:

"You want to fix Washington, vote more Democrats in, and you'll see what a competent party and gummint can do."

There was no evidence of that being true before they were voted out of power, IMO.

However, that said, how anyone on this planet could genuinely believe that the Republican party of Bush/Cheney is THE BETTER PARTY when it comes to national security issues after this Republican administration's running amok as it has, I will never understand.

Seriously.
