    Do you ever notice that when a Republican takes office, the
    Democrats start acting like it's the end of the world? I mean the
    minute Republicans cut taxes or trim the budget they start screaming
    that the sky is falling. Now - don't get me wrong, I admire their
    consiistency. If the stock market surges, they say 'it's just
    helping the rich'. And if it crashes they say 'yeah, that's what
    happens under a Republican leadership'.

    And don't get me started on foreign policy. A Republican president
    could be shaking hands with world leaders and signing peace deals
    and they would say 'it must be appeasement', but the minute there's
    tension overseas, they rush to the nearest camera like its black
    Friday saying, 'see - we told you the world would catch fire if
    they were in charge'. Now I've always said, its fine to disagree on
    policy. Thats Democracy. But if your best shot at winning is hoping
    the American people lose - well maybe you are in the wrong country.

    This was a quote from Ronald Reagon over 40 years ago. Still sounds
    relevant and still sounds like the same old thing...

    Have a great day!

    ... That must be wonderful! I don't understand it at all.

    That's a good point! Having 2 parties fight over ways that the government can make life better for American citizens would be great. But that's not attainable when one party is on a mission to sabotage the president.
