As I read on this board it is a it looks like a 50% to 50% just like the last elections were.

50% Republican, Conservative, Independent
50% Democrat, Liberal, Socialist

What are some things that can be done to bring this country together and make OUR country stronger more viable country. If things don't change so we are headed for a train wreck that made the last 5 years look great.

Energy and oil are going to be one of the US biggest challenges in the years to come and many power plants have aged are are way old school.

To elect actual conservatives to office, real ones not the the neocon crap that's been trotted out there the past 40 years.

Give us candidates that encompass the best of both sides, without the BS of either....Someone who cares about all our citizens, just not whoever can keep stuffing their pockets and throwing the baby out with the bathwater....

We do need some new people in DC. The ones we call working on active retirement the past 40.

Reject the status quo. Elect Ron Paul.

Nothing will change until we wake up and decide that cuts need to be made accross the board. We can't cut social security then turn around and raise the defense budget!

Nothing. The empire will fall and all we can do is pick up the pieces. I figure the former US will break up into racial enclaves eventually. Read Civil War 2 by Thomas Chittum.

Have you noticed what is happening in the rest of the World? I don't think the US is about to sink. But, if you enjoy being afraid, have at it.
