Wayne - I really can't keep talking politics.  Earlier I mentioned the only winner I voted for, I thought was a mistake afterwards.  That was Reagan.  He campaigned on getting the Gov't out of wasteful spending.  It never happened.  He spent more than all the others before him.  In hindsite, he did alot for the economy by cutting taxes.  It was claimed at the time it had worked before and would again - and it did at that time.  He also out spent the Russians in the cold war to the point they went broke and had no choice.  He brought down the Berlin wall.  He will go down in history as one of the great ones.  Still hard to believe a B-movie actor could do that.  But I don't really think it was him as much as those he selected to run things around him.  And this begins to bring out the problem we have now.  It's everyone inside the beltway in Wash DC.  I really wish I had the answer to fix things now.  Everytime someone appears to be a likely candidate they get beat down by some other organization with alot of money that's trying to protect their interests.  You can't get to the top unless you side with half of them.  And then nothing gets done, and the haves get their interests protected again, and the have nots just keep on loosing out.  I'll be here looking and waiting for the right one to come along.  Maybe I'll vote for a winner again, but this time think afterward, I did make the right choice.  And by the way, thanks for letting us know how you feel.  You have a right to your opinion, and you have a right to let everyone know.  And I hope as a country we can maintain that right - free speech.
