There are no fresh ideas. NONE.

- How do you propose we get out of Iraq without seeing the Iraqi government, military, and police force fold to the well-funded (by Iran and Syria) insurgency?

- How do you propose we maintain the historically very low levels of unemployment and inflation AND balance the budget at the same time?

- How do you propose we free ourselves from the dependency on foreign oil? I hear you say "we have to reduce our dependency on foreign oil", but I don't hear any "HOW".

- How do you propose we stop the ascending costs of healthcare and college education?

If you're going to just crap on George Bush and expect to make it into office, well, it just might work because so few like George Bush. But you won't get my vote, because crapping on Bush doesn't make you a leader, it just makes you a critic.

You bring some good points to bear Schneed. They would not get my vote either!
Caution: I may be taking parts of your post out of context.

However, that having been said, the fact that I (or anybody else) do not have solutions to the problems you list and the MANY more that concern me does not mean an acceptable, workable answer does not exist. In my opinion, there is no other recourse but to face the music, and..............start.
My problem is finding a candidate/Party that:
1) is serious about fixing this country
2) has the wherewithal to accomplish this
3) has sufficient party backing for same
4) Can rally other forces that will be against them
