It is no secret to many of us that this country has needed a Progressive direction to correct many of the problems it faces for some time now. I was born in 1970 and have seen exactly three Democratic Presidents in my life. The damage done by Conservative Presidents has been disasterous, and the Democrats elected have seemed to only keep us running around in circles while no real change is imminent to repair the damage.

  1. #1    Actually, Democratic Dems do more harm because they face less opposition - Maybe Carter was an exception in some ways

  2. #2    I have to disagree with epppie. Jimmy Carter did a great deal of damage to this nation by being as poor a judge of advisory personnel as is Obama. He looked terribly foolish allowing the Iranians to take over our embassy and doing nothing about it for many months. Then with the botched rescue attempt, many Americans had had enough and turned to Ronald Reagan's snake oil nostrums. Thus Carter killed off the Democrats reputation as being good stewards of the Commonwealth - a process begun under Lyndon Johnson.
