The Dems may come up with an October surprise (we should expect it from this "ends justifies the means" crowd) but the record of this Congress will continue to sting the nostrils of most Americans until the day we can vote them out.
I dont disagree that we should expect the "ends justifies the means crowd" to try to do whatever they can to hold on to a few seats but the American public is watching. One hint of fraud will result in something the Lib/Dem's wont be able to recover from anytime soon.

I like my state just fine. I can vote for things I agree or don't agree with, and regardless of the outcome, I know I put forth my opinion and that's all that matters. But thank you for the recommendation of CA. I've been there before, and I'd rather be inland. The ocean doesn't appease me.

Just look at what cap and trade will cost you. Not just the direct costs.

In your home it will be over $1600 a year.

Could mean your job.


YouTube - Obama: My Plan Makes Electricity Rates Skyrocket
I can't watch the video, is it about electricity costs? I'm pretty cautious when it comes to my bills. I live my AC on 74-76 and always turn off lights, tv's, etc. My bill hasn't changed in the past 4 years, so if it comes up a little, I think I can deal.
What do you mean it could be my job? I'm pretty secure where I am now. I really have nothing to worry about.

What you and many others seem to be missing is that Obama is fulfilling his role just as it was devised. And I said this the moment he was elected.

Even in the run up to the election, Biden gave away the clue when he said .. "When elected, President Obama would be forced to make some unpopular choices". It's the same tactic that has been employed for decades ... blame the other guy (the one who is gone) for all of the troubles and the necessity for tough, unpopular decisions. Then ... claim how great things are beginning to look as the savior saves the day.

Look, we were crippled with fraudulent debt to start with .. and Obama has doubled the debt in just 2 years. And how has giving Goldman Sachs another Trillion dollars helped the American people exactly? It hasn't. It's just accelerated looting ... with this nonsense that it was necessary because of what Bush did as the built in excuse (which was by design from the start).

This childishness of the public that accepts this nonsense is just a mixture of ignorance and stupidity. Nothing more.

If you think America is in better shape now than it was 5 years ago ... 10 years ago ... 20 years ago ... you should change your name to Ray Charles. Even some of the most die hard democrats are now scratching their heads, wondering what the heck their "representatives" are thinking. Sure there are still supporters who'll gladly ride off the edge of the cliff, and will be screaming "Buuuuusssssh" all the way to the bottom ... caught up in the illusion so deeply, that they'll never admit that Bush simply led them to the cliff's edge, but their own guy administered the final shove.

And that is the bottom line.
I think it's too early to tell if anything will work or not - he hasn't been in office for 8 years, he hasn't even made it two yet. Change takes time, and time means change.

The backlash that his far left policies will create will assure that we will not see another Democrat elected to the Presidency in several election cycles unless they are a verified moderate. The American people will not stand for a political novice like this to represent the most powerful position in the land ever again. The bloodbath begins this November!
God I hope you realize how everyone and their mother says the same thing about the far right because of Bush, lol.

When I was you age (profile information) I was much more liberal. In many ways I still am.

I do not care who has sex with who as long as it is consenting adults.

I think after you starting making enough money that you do not get money BACK on your taxes, you will become more conservative.

Only then will you realise the difference.
I don't believe that at all. If my money is going towards something to make our country a better, healthier place then why is it such a big deal? I'm already being taxed by my state b/c I make over a certain amount and my tax dollars are going towards the OKC community. I don't know what they are doing with my money, but that's okay. It's life, and regardless of your beliefs that will never change.
Obama's tax increase is for the people making over $250,000 - if you don't make that much, don't worry about it. It's not your problem.

What do you mean "our days are numbered?" Is there a calendar out there with d-day marked that I don't know about?

Seriously though, I'm genuinely curious as to what you think is going to happen.
