Tomorrow could be a historic day......and not the good kind

That sounds as good as the term, "Republicrat." Fact is, with the Democrats, there is usually going to be more attention paid to things like healthcare, cost of tuition, targeted tax cuts, etc. vs. tort reform, insurance giveaways and programs to guarantee cash flows to pharmaceutical companies. The Democrats generally offer a better alternative for the middle class from what I've seen. I'm not saying they're a great alternative, as they have gotten my vote for the Presidency exactly twice in 20 years. Of course the GOP's got none of those votes, but they are in play in 2008. :shrug:

That's just it, though. Each party pays just enough lip service to generate interest among the middle class, but when it boils down to it, neither one is truly committed to the middle class. For every anecdotal piece of evidence one person presents to show that the Democrats are the party of the middle class, there's an equal and opposite piece of anecdotal evidence supporting the other side.

Call it the "Republicratization" of this issue if you wish (but I think you know that's BS). That won't change the fact that the middle class is truly taken for granted by both parties until election time.
