People are not so blind to forget that the Republican agenda of supporting big corporations and the wealthy at the expense of the rest of us is what messed up the economy.
Just two days ago, Republicans blocked a bill to stop the tax breaks that American companies get for out-sourcing jobs. Yep, they want tax breaks to continue for companies cutting jobs here to send them elsewhere.
I’ll vote Democrats this November, as will my family. We know who is representing us.
Yeah and the same lamocrats who took impeachment off the table against the neo-cons, continue to fund wars and other stuff, both parties of establishment should be kicked out of office.

We have got to kick out all of the establishment Republicans and Democrats that are presently in power in our House of Congress and the Senate, they have all been bought off and sold out to the Globalist, “One World Government”, agenda which would be the end of America and Freedom for America and most of the world!
We have a government infiltrated with elitist criminals!
Right now concentrate on protesting the abuses of our 4th Ammendment loudly and voting these criminals out of Congress and replace them with, Constitutional following Independents and in 2012, we need to vote in a Constitutional Patriotic President, like Ron Paul or Judge Andrew Napolitano – if we could talk him into running!
Re: TRAINED TO RULE. DOES YOUR VOTE COUNT AT ALL?
Planning to vote for one of these people? Great. just understand that they’re all members of the CFR, which is telling them to work toward weakening your freedom in the name of a New World Order. Your vote really means zippo (unless you vote for someone other than a Republican or Democrat).
Fred Thompson
Rudy Giuliani
John McCain
Mitt Romney
Jim Gilmore
Newt Gingrich
Hillary Clinton
Barack Obama
John Edwards
Joe Biden
Chris Dodd
Bill Richardson
All current members of the “Global Elitist”, Council on Foreign Relations! Members that are in our Government and candidates in elections!
TRAINED TO RULE. BILDERBERG
Another important entity that reigns over those who are trained to rule by the CFR is the Bilderberg Society.
These elitist organizations and members would end your world of liberty!
Got that right.
No More left/right paradigm

Dee, Obama is not anyones “hope and salvation” since he has been in office he has raised the national debt to such a level that our grandchildren will be so heavily taxed that they will live in a welfare state their entire lives!
Do you honestly believe that our descendents will be better off because of this?
Here is my question for you-What government programs are you currently receiving money from? How are my tax dollars supporting your life-style? Unless you are already accustomed to receiving a handout without regard to where it came from (at the expense of others who actually are self reliant) I can see no other reason for you to tout Obama as “Savior.”

then Democrats should simply run on their “sane, sensible, solution-oriented” record since January 2007
————
Since way before 2007. They should run on their policies and record for the past 25-30 years and their policies for their future. The long game.
I don’t expect right wingers to give a care about anything but snapshots and slogans, but people with brains and foresight do.
In the short term, though, yes, they should celebrate their successes– they stopped the Bush recession from escalating into the Bush depression and passed health care reform, provided aid to states, keeping them afloat, passed financial regulation reform, equal pay legislation, invested in health IT, community health centers, green intiatives, education, science, reversed Bush’s reactionary stance on science, have pushed pro-business and pro-middle class, and pro-American success policies, drew down troops in Iraq, improved our world standing, etc, etc.
Meanwhile, the Republicans voted against everything and everybody. They haven’t changed at all. They’re the same fiscally irresponsible liars, warmongers and fear-driven xenophobes.

progressive mama: “The GOP and its candidates aren’t particularly sane. Or sensible. Or solution-oriented.”
Ah, then Democrats should simply run on their “sane, sensible, solution-oriented” record since January 2007, when they started controlling ALL legislation and tax policy. Haven’t you heard? Americans are thrilled with all their newfound prosperity. Democrats obviously have all the answers. It’s Camelot. Liberals and Progressives need to stop whining and just enjoy the CHANGE they helped usher in.

“Matt Taibbi talking to tea partiers:”
Odd that Taibbi refers to the “property appraiser” as a “tax assessor”. What’s that all about?

“But,” I protest, “you live off the government. And have been your whole life!”
His wife has received Medicare her whole life? Doesn’t Medicare kick in at age 65?

Matt Taibbi talking to tea partiers:
“I’m anti-spending and anti-government,” crows David, as scooter-bound Janice looks on. “The welfare state is out of control.”
“OK,” I say. “And what do you do for a living?”
“Me?” he says proudly. “Oh, I’m a property appraiser. Have been my whole life.” I frown. “Are either of you on Medicare?”
Silence: Then Janice, a nice enough woman, it seems, slowly raises her hand, offering a faint smile, as if to say, You got me!
“Let me get this straight,” I say to David. “You’ve been picking up a check from the government for decades, as a tax assessor, and your wife is on Medicare. How can you complain about the welfare state?”
“Well,” he says, “there’s a lot of people on welfare who don’t deserve it. Too many people are living off the government.”
“But,” I protest, “you live off the government. And have been your whole life!”
