Get the facts straight...........\n\n"At this point, Republicans have spent $87.5 million to oppose candidates and Democrats have spent $72.6 million"\n\nnot much difference. This only counts the "negative" ads.

Not a bit.\nThe media is owned almost entirely by large corporations, which are very conservative/republican.  If they were any bit liberal, the presidents approval rating would be much lower than 29%.\n\nFox - owned by Rupert Murdock / Newscorp\nNBC - owned by General Electric\nABC - owned by Disney\nCBS - owned by Viacom\nCNN - owned by Time-Warner

the medicare money has been used by every president and every congress for their major source of funding, if you try to pin this just on Bush you will end up looking like a moron. Most of the money goes into the general fund and is used for anything and everything.

Technically, the RNC pays for election-related travel.  However, if the prez can justify that it's just a presidential speech, rather than electioneering, we wind up paying.

None for me, it goes to the American government, who takes way more than they need, if Bush hadn't grown the national debt AND FAILED to make the proper tax reform! between that and the tax CUTS for the RICH!! ... it's just bs, I won't go off on it here.\n-Duo

They are doing it with General Motors cars as well. Televisions from RCA (Thompson Electronics), and I am sure thousands of other things America has given them with our outsourcing. Our trade with Communist China is upside down too with the Republican Administration of George Bush. 3% from us to them, and over 20% from them to America. They have broken Americas trade agreement for years now, and Bush wont do anything about it. They are Communists and an enemy to the United States. They are using the extra revenue to extend their military also. It's a bad deal all around. America is going to try to remove the republicans from our Congress in November hopefully.

It just won't happen as long as republicans are in charge. They are afraid that you might get something for nothing. What a shame it is that billions can be spent on a dumb war and we can't take care of our own. I know that you paid taxes for those 25 years and deserve the help.

The Democratic approach to foreign policy it that militaristic force is always the last resort and that diplomacy should be utilized more often then is currently shown. The GOP (grand old party, republicans) outwardly do not help the middle and lower class, however through lobbyists and tax cuts for the upper class (earning class of More than $200,000 a year) the GOP consistently helps the rich.

Conservatives have that as a platform, if you just read between the lines. Like Bush's " tax cuts across the board" is translated into tax cuts for the very rich. So they are the party of cooperate welfare and take more bribes then anyone.

Hah! This is unlikely to be a helpful answer, but are you aware that Rupert Murdoch is Australian??\n\nHe owns a lot of the conservative media over here as well. I think you will find that he has discovered a very lucrative basket in which to place his eggs. This does not mean he particularly supports one political side or the other - all he supports are his own (ridiculously large) profits. If porn can also make him money, I am sure he will happily invest. He appears to support the Republicans over there because this is in the best interests of his profits, just as he supports conservativism here in Australia.\n\nEm

People watch taxes because they can easily see how they affect them.  But it's government _spending_ we should really be watching.  As a libertairian I think most government spending is wrong.  But at least the Democrats are honest.  They say they want to tax the people to give money to their favored causes. When the Republicans took over all branches of government a while back they did so by claiming they wanted to reduce spending and cutting taxes.  They cut taxes and grew government spending at the highest rate ever seen in US history.  All spending is in fact a form of taxation.  The only question is who's going to pay.

becuase they can. It's much easier spending money when it's not yours. the only time they are concerned about our needs is when it comes time for re-election. other than that, it's a total waste of our time.

I think that, one way or another, there are some politicians in every government who are going to mis-use the revenues of the country.  Personal gain can come by them taking the actual money or as is the case in the U.S. the politicians pass laws to spend money on groups they want to get votes from.  It is called buying power or buying votes.

We stop giving them the money.  I'd be less concerned with the $500 wastes and more worried about the $90 billion wastes.\n\nAnd believe me, they're plenty greedy before they get into office.  They're projected to spend $1 billion on ads for the midterms.  That means there is a lot of corporate money flowing to them and in return there will be a lot of corporate-friendly bills passed next session.
