Me too.... Gordon Brown is really failing at the moment. Cameron might be able to bring back the might of the Tories in the next general election though. Labour is on the ropes at the moment, after Brown went to Iraq, and then came back to not have an election. Now seems to be the time for the Tories to load salt into Labour's raw wounds.
Anyway I'm derailing because I'm talking about politics in the wrong country. Some of the comments aimed at me earlier seemed to be suggesting that I said things that I may not have meant, I think people are taking things the wrong way a little much and it is causing some argument.

Yes, Democrats tend to have more government programs than Republicans, but that image of smaller government and state rights went out with Reagan in 1988. Neither Bush president has acted toward shrinking the government. I, too, am a strong supporter of state rights to run themselves how they see fit. The Governator in California wanted to increase the emissions limitations of cars sold in his state higher than the EPA limits because California has such bad air pollution, and this administration tried to tell him he wasn't allowed to do that. That's the thinking that worries me. (As far as I know, they did it anyway in California, and the car lobby wanted to sue...)

I am not in any position to justify the Republican's cause, nor is there really any point anyway....like you say, few people are especially enthusiastic about McCain.
