Mid Term Elections

[TongueJoy]

I am curious to see where some site members stand on the Mid Term Elections, this is obviously very UNSCIENTIFIC, but I would appreciate all opinions, I have set up as poll
Thanks

After months of the diatribe, misleading campaign adds, rallies, magazines and newspaper opinions, and the numerous tv/cable pundits, it is no wonder why we have such a small turnout during elections.

But, we do live in a free society, though we systematically dismantled the ideals of habeas corpus with the Military Commission Act of 2006.

I want oversight, checks and balances, and accountability - neither of which this Congress and Senate has provided. We have underwritten a huge tax break; we have unfunded Social Security and Medicare; our Federal Deficit grew 1 trillion dollars in six years and we now spend over 300 billion in interest payments on it; our trade deficit is extraordinarily high; we are turning into a theocratic society which is the basis for terrorism; we enter a war, not of necessity but of some plan that is kept from the populace; our attitudes toward the environment is abysmal; and despite an Administration that is clueless, the economy is fairly stable - though the numbers tend to be at a macro-level than an analysis of the micro-enconomies across this country.

As a Democrat, I'm not actually wanting total control of both houses, I simply want to see more checks and balances, something which this President and Vice President do not regard as necessary.

Even if the Republicans maintain majority in both houses, a message has clearly been sent.

Nice question
