2010: Every minute counts

There are the elections coming up in 2010 and everyone is saying the democrats aren´t going to be doing so well. Things aren´t going so well in the US at the moment and now there is this narrative that the Democratic party won´t be able to hang onto its majority. Its been a rough year for a president, but Obama has done remarkably well for having the decks stacked against him. Of course a lot still remains to be done, but from my position it still looks better than what we had before.

Now suppose that the Republicans get back in power. What then? They have not presented a single solid policy to turn anything around. In fact, their policy will be either the same as that of G. W. or they will continue to swing further to the right. This will be very dangerous for the United States as well as for the rest of the world. This religion of the Republicans that free market capitalism is the answer to all of our problems is the most ludicrous religion around. No other religion would even make such a claim. If the Republicans get back in then there is going to be another four years of failed policies instead of waiting for those that the new President will put in place. Are Americans really that impatient that they will run right back into the arms of yesterdays failures?
