Now We Vote

The table is set. Our troops are dying and the GOP wants to “stay the course”. We need to fight terrorism and destroy Al Qaeda and kill Bin Laden, the GOP thinks the job is too hard. We need stem cell research to look for possible cures, the GOP wants to block it. We need real middle class tax relief to make an economic boom that lifts all boats, Republicans oppose it. The stakes are high, the opposition a radical sect.

These are the stakes.

The final pre-election NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll suggests that Democrats continue to have a significant advantage heading into the midterms that take place exactly one week from Tuesday.

They hold a 15-point lead — tied for the largest ever in the survey — over Republicans in voters’ preference for control of Congress. President George W. Bush’s approval rating remains mired below 40 percent. And more than 60 percent feel less confident that the war in Iraq will come to a successful conclusion, the largest number ever on that question.

Vote, call your friends and family, tell ‘em to vote. A lot of people have been beaten, killed and worse in order to secure the right to a vote. The least we can do is honor their memory by spending a few minutes next Tuesday to put America back on track.

    What does “back on track” mean? What will happen if the Democratic Party takes control of House and the Senate? What will change? Just wondering if there is a plan I don’t know about.
