9. I believe that I've heard several Democrats say that they would not
raise taxes on the middle class.

What it seems to me that they've been very hesitant to do (if they've done it at all) is to say that they would raise taxes on the wealthy -- or reverse the Bush tax cuts.

I really wish that would do that. It seems to me that it would be very irresponsible of them NOT to reverse the Bush tax cuts if they had the power to do so. So, why aren't they addressing that point? My opinion is that they are just being over-cautious. And besides, once they make a distinction on who they would raise taxes on the corporate media is likely to jump all over them, accusing them of "class warfare".

The same thing with impeaching Bush. I think it would be irresponsible NOT to do it. I just hope to god that they take back both houses with a landslide and they use their mandate to make some very much needed changes.
