before Georgie got into stride in his 2nd term I considered myself middle of the road with republican leanings. I did vote for Obama because in my mind change had to happen. We were heading down the crapper fast. McCain in my mind was more of the same.

IF this was some alternate universe ala Star Trek and GW wore the label "Democrat" I woulda voted Republican last election.

By the same token if 3 yrs from now and Obama has really F'd it all up. I really hope he is successful. But if not I'd consider a Republican (assuming it's not Sarah Palin.....jeeessh)

Maybe I've read too many Robert Ludlum books but I believe 'political parties' like 'religeon' are the opiates of the masses. Where the real power lies I don't believe it really matters if you are "republican" or "democrat". It means nothing. Theres just money, power and greed for more of it.

 

I got 11 of 12 correct. Didn't get the one about health care spending level. Oops

 

I just took this again. 12 out of 12. I like to keep up with things.

 

12 of 12 for me too. I'm getting more informed!:lol:

 

Damn, I got one wrong and it was the oil imports question.
Embarassing, considering I teach a class on mineral deposits. :blush2:

 

11 for me, missed the number of senators needed to break a filibuster.

 

A 1/3 of imported oil comes from Canuckland.

Me too, I though a filibuster was a cream filled donut :lol:

Darn, missed two. Thought Ruth Bader Ginsburg had retired, leaving only one woman in the Supremes.

Underestimated the % of imorted oil used in the USA. Thought it was half, but it is two thrids. :eek6:

I did know who Steven Colbert is. :lol:

 

Only 60 to break a filibuster?

Oh well got the rest right.
