Fair enough I guess. Just seems kind of odd to me.
It's like picking a parent to live with after a divorce. "Well, dad has been beating me with a pool cue for the last 7 years and spending food money at the casino, but mom didn't buy me a new bike, so I'll stick with dad".

Except it isn't that simple.
I'm sure the Democrats know that the economy is heading into a recession/possible depression, and despite the belief that you should actually spend your way out of it(does that work with 8 trillion in debt?)....there is absolutely no excuse for not sending at least a 'better' budget to the President.
I know a lot of people are wondering what should be cut.....outside of the obvious pork and earmarks....well something HAS to be cut. When you're running a budget at a 450 billion dollar deficit year after year....something is wrong.
And yes, I blame Bush and the Republicans for that too. Probably more than the Democrats considering who has held Congress the past half decade or so.
In fact, I don't see a change for one candidate to the other....its all just spend, spend, spend.....the only candidate that was actually noticeably different was Ron Paul.
