I kinda cut myself off because I was afraid of sounding a bit too much like Mongrel. ;) I think you're probably right about being too optimistic in thinking that the Democrats won't catch flack about the economy tanking under their watch. I was speaking to my boss about what he perceived people's outlooks on the economy to be (because people's expectations for the future have impacts on the real estate market), and he actually said "Well, the market just had a big scare, and the Democrats are in office promising tax cuts and spending a lot, so I think there's a lot more pessimism now." Basically, he said that because the "Spendicrats" are in office, the economy will tank. So much for rising tides raising all ships. I also was trying to decide if I even wanted to bring party into this rant, or just kind of shake my fist at the governmental institution in general. Although I'm registered as a Democrat, I identify as an Independent, so I feel a bit dumb picking sides here. I just know that, in general, I'd rather see the Dems win if someone has to. I agree that people want something different. I'm hoping that the Fat Cat parties won't resort to the same tactics they used in 2000 to bring Nader down and force people to vote in party lines, by saying if you vote independent, you're wasting your vote and helping "the enemy" win.

Perhaps it was your conscience getting the better of you, but you did go into how complicated the causes are with these things. That these things might end up being convenient for the Republicans is an observation, not a conspiracy theory. I want to say that I doubt anyone would be so stupid as to blame the Democrats for the turmoil, but I'm usually too optimistic about people. I will say that I think the average American at the moment is fed up with our leaders in general, both parties included, and is likely to attribute miscellaneous problems to "those damn politicians" rather than one party. That the Repubs got beat down in the previous elections was as much attributable to them being the majority and therefore more responsible (in the minds of the public) as to anything else. Which is also why the presidential candidates are so interesting this time around, people want something different. I didn’t really see much of a conspiracy stated there.
