I'm a foreigner here, with a semi-person status. I'm taxed but not represented. My wife is not allowed to work - right to work counts as one of the basic rights, IMO. I was asked extra papers when I took a loan for the house, so I lost a deadline for one house I wanted to buy; luckily, the next one was a much better bargain. And I was singled out for full search about 80% of the times I had to take an airplane, just because they can't read my last name. And one of my daughters didn't even apply for a membership in something, because from all the points you could earn to get there, more than half were to be earned in church-related activities.

And whatever tax breaks I got was more than compensated by raise in tuitions for the college. And there's a curfew here in Virginia Beach for anyone below 18 after 11pm, according to the bulletin of city's public schools.

>There has never been any one administration that made every 250,000,000 of its people happy... has there? Ok so Bush (or the Republican party) is not your cup of tea, but that's how US politics works. Next time someone else like Hilary Clinton may be in office.

I'd rather see Barbara Boxer, for that matter. Ms Clinton is not really to my taste.

> Maybe that's more to your taste.... God help us all if that happens.....:) I mean, politics never change much regardless of who is in office.

That's what you get with two-party system. A guarantee that you'll never see much change. They call that stability of the system, and proof that democracy works. Until the takeover of GOP by religious right, the two parties weren't that different.
