I would argue that the right (the one that was in power anyway) was the one doing all the wasteful spending. The idea that the right is fiscally conservative _in practice_ is a farce. I'm not saying that the left has it completely correct either, far from it, but if you vote for the GOP because you want to curb wasteful spending, you're barking up the wrong tree. > They all are.

Well, they didn't do it in '08, and I'm still optimistic about this year. The way they're spinning it, unless the Republicans make huge gains, they will have underperformed. I think that there are signs that many people in the center of the political spectrum are concerned with giving a GOP that failed so miserably under Bush more power. If the dems losses are moderate, the Republican's "just say no" politics may be repudiated.
