Presidential Primaries

I have voted in two presidential elections. Both times casting my vote for the Republican candidate, George W. Bush. I'm concerned, okay, frightened that the Republicans have failed to really address some of the key domestic issues that consume the American people. Issues like health care, jobs, the economy...although some of these are not traditional Republican banners, it seems that an increasing number of Americans are finding these the most pressing issues of their day. A war half a globe away or key issues like abortion are not so important when you can't afford insurance and health care for your middle class (that's right) family. How can you one be focused on some of those issues when the economy continues to suffer? My fear is that the Democrats, although they might not be able to deliver, are at least talking about issues that hit home with so many Americans. This election will be one for the record books!
