Does it worry anyone that liberal Democrats might be in charge of the White House and Congress? (Republicans, liberals)

I so agree with this. My husband and I have always made good choices, so my last 8 years have been a great. We just recently purchased a new home. We do not consider ourselves rich. We just live within our means. What scares me is all this might change under Barack Obama. We hope to lock in our interest rate before he becomes president. We are afraid the interest rates will go way up like under Carter and Clinton.
Congrats, so did we. Wow, Bush has been great for us repub's.
Now we have to pray that we can sell our old home quickly in case (God forbid) BO is elected.
Leadership in Illinois are ALL Democrats.

seems to me we did some pretty great things before the institution of the federal income tax. I also went to private school for much of my life. also, are you impressed with our school system? the government did give us the hubble telescope though. that allows regular joe's to see the space helmets that liberals wear.

2. Didn't use any roads to get anywhere
3. Didn't use any of your 12+ years of government standardized schooling
4. Didn't breathe any air that was clean due to the 1970 Clean Air Act
5. Didn't use any subsidized gasoline to go anywhere
6. Didn't look at the time, (that's regulated by the government too)
7. Didn't use subsidized electricity to power your computer
8. Had all of your posessions stolen and your house burned down because there was rioting due to no police force
9. Didn't bathe in any government subsidized, clean water
10. Didn't take any FDA regulated medication
11. Didn't use the internet, which was mostly developed by the US military
Your life sounds rough. But its pretty amazing that the Internet can transmit the smoke signals that you are sending.
