Who in the election will fight for our cause?

I didn't know how to title this post...  

Without getting into a big political debate, can someone tell me, which candidates, on each side, will best be helping the Hep C research funding?    It doesn't matter to me, whether you are saying Democrat/Republican/Indep., or whatever, I'm just curious if anybody knows from past history, researching this, or anything like that???   I'm not saying which party I'm affliated with, that doesn't matter in the general election anyway because you can vote across party lines in that election if you so choose.    Anyway, I'm really curious about this.  I'm also wondering if there's some website that might tell me where the various candidates stand in their past support of HIV, since I figure that if they have a good history with supporting HIV/AIDS research that they might care about HCV.  Anyway, any info would be appreciated.  I hope that this will not end up being a debate because that's not what I'm looking for.

Happy Holidays everyone.

Just to clarify, your statement was we were headed FOR a recession which implies it is a foregone conclusion. Knowledge of the definition of recession is important in this discussion. There are some variances but generally it requires 3 quarters of flat or negative growth. So far we have not had one. Could it happen. Sure. In that sense I can agree that if action isn't taken we will not only head for, but may see a prolonged economic slowdown, or perhaps recession. I said as much above. My point is that President Bush has not stated that recession is a foregone conclusion as you characterized it.

"Heard today we are headed for a recession due to the loss of jobs and the not creating new ones"

"My source for the info about the recession the other day came out of the mouth of GW Bush."  

Please show me any quote by President Bush that says we are heading for a recession. You have once again mispresented the facts. President Bush is pushing for an economic stimulus package to keep the economy from GOING into recession. Those quotes I can show you galore. You will see them as you search in vain for a quote from Pres. Bush that we ARE going into a recession.
