The last 8 years have been the time for dems to be mad
Now it's the pubs' turn. And honestly, you can hardly blame them - look who was in the White House the last 8 years - that was the best the republican party had to offer? And then they go on a spending spree that until now had been unprecedented in our country - Bush never met a bill he didn't like, especially if it had a bunch of zeros in it.
Now they've lost power everywhere in Washington and with many of thier constituents and they're mad. They should be! Let them whine and have their poor me parties - in the end, they'll come back a stronger and more united party - the dems did it after Clinton - the pubs will do it after Obama.
It's just a natural life cycle in Washington.
The dems and pubs can go back in time as far as they want.
This spending crap started long before Obama got into office, but that doesn't excuse anyone from the spending that's gone on since he took office.
I'm so tired of hearing how Obama inherited this mess and how the pubs are trying to keep spending to a limit. Well, where were these pubs 8 years ago or 10 years ago? NOW, they say they want to conserve, but as soon as the next bill comes along, they attach more pork to it, just like everyone else.
And then Obama signs it all, even while spouting about controlling the earmarks! Seriously?
You can put as many people from the government that you want on any of these political talk shows and it's all going to come out the same - there's not a single one of them that can be trusted and that goes back way further than our economic crisis or whatever the he11 you want to call it.
I bet a lot of Dems and Reps won't be reelected this time.
Support your local moderates, whichever major party they might represent. And in this election cycle, please don't waste your vote on third party candidates who cannot win. Wasted votes will only serve to let the incumbents sneak back to Washington. After the entrenched power base has been broken up, third parties will have a better chance to make some gains in future elections.
We don't have voting machines in my little...sm
state either. It is really funny to me because the first I voted was in 1964 and I lived in New Jersey where they had voting machines even way back then. Sometimes the old ways ARE best. I lived in Hawaii for a few years and they didn't having voting machines either.
bad bad bad voting machines

There are a few documentaries on the problems with the voting machines (laughable physical security, & easily hack-able), especially the ones made by Diebold (a big Republican donator who vowed in a letter that you can see in the documentary to "deliver" the Ohio vote to the Republicans)...
There's a movement to go back to physical ballots or at least take the voting process out of the hands of private industry.
Ohio was mentioned in both the documentaries I saw as having the worst cases of voter suppression, 1 voting machine for an entire precinct, people waiting 10, 12 hours to vote. This tends to happen in largely Democratic precincts...
And the others are propaganda machines for libs...
to each his own, as you say.
Looks more like fact that the machines are flawed than conspiracy..sm
And debating about whether the machines, chads, cards, etc are functioning properly would best be done BEFORE the election than afterwards. Duh!
Cite resources. Which machines (manufactured by)?
Do you really want to go there?
This is exactly how elections are held in Vermont, no voting machines. nm
.
The voting machines is a must to make voters confident their votes are counting...sm
But the Democrat party needs to delineate what separates them from the republican party as terms of what direction they will take the country. That is definitely uncertain. The chances of them getting their voters out to the polls will be better, I think.
hot darn - - -
McCain expresses complete confidence in his vice presidental pick. That IS big news! Maybe I can catch it on a reply or a Fox crawl.
Gosh darn it!
Oh, thanks for enlightening me -- I HATE TO BREAK IT TO YOU, BUT I KNOW GAY MEN PRODUCE SPERM. but they need an egg to produce a child (DS)!!! I feel as if I am posting in romper room here. Good grief!
Darn tootin'

Gosh darn right!

Exactly! I don't give a darn WHAT his middle name is...
but I do care about who he is allied with, and have said numerous times that his pastor and mentor is very thick with Louis Farrakahn, and now Farrakhan has come out singing Obama's praises. Talk about hateful racist comments...Farrakhan is a virulent racist.
darn links never work right...
As the controversy surrounding Sarah Palin's pastor grows to one of near biblical proportions, certain very important questions are beginning to come to light. Questions like, if Reverend Wright's statements of opinion about America were so damning that Obama had to distance himself, then what of Muthee's Kenyan witch hunt? What of his continued, almost paranoid, remarks about witches in his prayers?
Many people, except those who truly take every word of the Bible as literal truth, are rightfully critical of Muthee's beliefs. There is one word to say for it -- extremism. Extremism in the same way that some of the Muslim faith believe that it is right and just to fight 'Holy Wars.' Extremism in the same way that supposedly justified murder for any cause is extreme.
But there it is, plain as day, in the Holy Bible's own Exodus -- "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." If you happen to be one of those people who believe that every single word in the Bible is true, then this becomes a very troubling precedent. Based on your beliefs that the literal Bible is infallible, you must agree with this rather extreme statement since it did, in your view, come from God.
At this point, it becomes a matter of some debate as to what a witch actually is. It's pretty key since the Bible itself mandates killing them. So who is a witch? Is it a lady who practices magic? If so, then what is magic? Is it praying to gods other than those in the Christian faith? Is it practicing fortune telling? Is it simply being a woman involved in spiritual work? Is it being someone alleged to have made crops fail or traffic accidents to have happened? I ask these questions because all of the above have been accused and punished for supposed 'witchcraft' often with death as is the Bible's precedent.
Yeah, and Obama is so darn smart, yet does not

EXACTLY. Bush didn't want SCHIP but he darn
healthcare for children is socialism but this is not. He is about 5 beers short of a 6 pack!!
Oh darn, I missed my OBAMABOT training..
I thought it was ALL HAIL OBAMA!
Darn right - we must ALWAYS err on the side of protecting the INNOCENT.

Right. "The people" that he cares about so darn

I didn't hear the boos, darn... what does wheelchair have to do with it? sm
He is a criminal whether he is jogging or in a wheelchair.
It's obvious you didn't read a DARN thing.....
First of all, real history is not taught in college either.... unless you are soooo lucky as to get a professor who actually LOVES history and really DID his/her homework.
My son is a history/political major and LOVES history... and I can assure you, he would put history teachers to shame in what they "think" they know.... the crap the government puts in their history books is all they are ALLOWED to teach in our public "government ran" schools!
Our history IS politics....where have you been? Teaching our kids politics IS teaching them history.... WOW! Glad my son is teaching them and not you!
This guy has been teaching for 19 years with NO complaints about his informative web site.... the parents have ALWAYS like it!
Only ONE person complained......ONE!!! No doubt a liberal jackarse who has NO loyalty or love for this country whatsoever.... another lost soul.
This guy had an introductory video where he says he truly wanted his kids to LOVE America.........what the heck is wrong with that?
He was told to remove that video because everyone "did not love America"..... huh? Then I suppose they can sit on their sorry sad butts and hate everything....who cares? This guy did nothing wrong but encourage students to love their country but of course, you WOULD have something wrong with that! Geesh!
Bush is gone, YEA!!! and yeah, it could darn well be Bush! LOL.
Chimp boy!! But, the cartoon is NOT about Bush, now is it? Give me a break.
Yep, but it was straight time. No time and a half
DHL is GERMAN OWNED. And, company was located on Snotsdale, I mean Scottsdale, AZ which means. Labor laws in Arizona suck. Right to work state. Basically a company can do whatever they want to do with you and if you do not like it, then quit and find another job.
Dems took over?
This really confuses me. It's my understanding that the Dems STILL haven't taken over. They need 60 in the Senate in order to prevent a fillibuster, and as I write this, the Republicans (still in control) are threatening to fillibuster the proposed auto maker bailout/loan legislation. Since the Democrats DO NOT have the majority they need, the Republicans may very well do that.
So please explain to me how the Democrats are in control because I keep seeing this and truly don't understand how that is.
Not trying to start an argument or stir anything up. I truly don't "get it." 
I'm not sure that the dems really
like Bill being interviewed a lot. LOL! He is rather obvious that he is only saying Obama because he is following his political party and that he truly doesn't want Obama as president.
Oh well....for whatever reason Bill said what he did.....it is still nice to hear someone admiring both candidates, saying they are both ready to be president, and not cutting down one party or the other. It was a nice change for once.
I have never seen anything like this. Dems really are
nm
It's been the Dems all along...
Congress is DEMOCRATS you know. The president...Bush now...and O in the future...does not have absolute power! Gah, how hard is that to understand??? But now with a Dem pres and a Dem government...we are all screwed!
That's the dems M.O.
Destroy anyone that gets in their way. I have not found any of the politicans to show they care about the people that make a difference in this country. If anyone steps in, asks questions or tries to get to the truth of the matter their lives are destroyed.

But the Dems would have you believe..........sm
from the cheering teams in Indiana to the crowds in Ft. Meyerss (some of whom did not get in, despite being very close to the front of the line) that the whole nation is in favor of this, that we are all ready to sink another another trillion in debt.
I wonder how many of the dems have
read it? Oh, it doesn't matter, they are going to vote for it anyway, the king has spoken!
Dems
If it this thing doesn't work (which it won't) the dems better start grabbing theirs...
Where are all the sensible Dems?
They fight and carry on just as much as the pubs. They are like children, too. Don't forget, they put a lot of pork in these bills and then cry when the pubs vote against it.
No matter what you say, neither party is working for the people. It's time to vote them all out.
And you don't think the dems would do the same?
xx
That's what I like about some Dems...
soooo classy. And you have the nerve to defame rednecks...LOL. ;)
No - because the Dems know very well what
The intelligence committees of Congress (both House and Senate) have full access to all CIA documents. Members of both of those committees know full well that Pelosi stepped in a cow patty when she called the CIA liars, so this outcome was completely predictable.
What makes this whole thing all the more deplorable is that these are the very same people who were self-righteously calling for similar probes regarding the previous administration just a few weeks ago.
Moral: Be careful what you wish for!
We gotta throw these folks out of office starting in 2010 and continuing until EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM IS GONE.
I know this is somewhat irrelavant since the Dems are going to win
in November. I am an Obama supporter but also a political junkie, so for me it's interesting to try to figure out who McCain is going to pick for VP, even if it doesn't matter in the end.
McCain was on SLN cracking jokes about how old he was. I'll give him points for the self-deprecating humor.
Yep, the dems in congress won't do anything
until they have a dem as president. They know if they do something positive, such as helping us with our oil/energy problem, Bush will get the credit and they won't stand for that.
That is the facts people and it is so unbelievably ridiculous that these people who we vote in and pay 6-figure salaries to won't do their job. It's a huge joke and it scares the crap out of me.
Perfect example of why Dems will win and be in the
Republicans thrive on scare tactics - or at least they THINK they're scare tactics.
A lot of dems voted for the war too....
including Kerry and Hillary and untold others...including your VP candidate, Biden. Can't you tell the truth? What about the truth is so scary to you? You can go on line and see the roll call vote. Many, Many D's there. No war can ever be waged without a 2/3 vote of Congress. War is not a "conservative" thing. What a ridiculous lie. Do you ever go research anything or are you afraid lightning will strike you if you stray from Dem talking points??
I cannot and will not lump all Dems together...
however, several of the group who post here post like this. I don't understand it, because it doesn't follow what I thought democrats were all about. I am not a Republican by the way...am an Independent. I don't owe any party my vote...but I have Democrats in my family and they do not speak like this...
But, I could not say most Dems treat people this way. Just some of these do. :)
Since when did Dems ever let facts
nm
No, you dems just ain't funny.

Yes....this is going to be the Dems' Enron. nm

Believe it or not, dems want to cut the pork too! nm

in-laws are all dems - what to do? nm

But the media, the dems, and
all these Obama supporters just sweep that under a rug. They continue to point fingers and blame others and yet they will take no responsibility at all for what they did. They will not give McCain credit for his warning. They will not admit that they ignored that warning. I'm tired of the media having their nose up Obama's ars. They call McCain a coward for wanting to postpone the debate when it was McCain who was pushing for the debate before until this and now he wants to be in Washington to help find a solution. He wants to put the country first instead of his own personal campaign. To me...this says a lot about McCain and yet the dems and the media can do nothing but downgrade. How in the world are we to have a fair election when the media is so obviously one-sided?
At this point, I really don't know that any candidate can get us out of this mess. I guess I've just lost hope all around. As for all those so-called plans Barry Obama promised.....he can't do a one of them....not that they would have worked in the first place but now it is impossible for him to even try. So now what, Barry? What else are you going to promise you will do that you can't deliver on?
