Things are still similar today. One big difference now though is that the liberals let the Republicans do what ever they want. They no longer fight for middle America. At least not half as hard as the Republicans do for the elite. Liberals SAY they are going to help the people while Republicans ACTUALLY help out the rich.

Oh, no, the republicans had a lot of input in the legislation. When some of their ideas got incorporated, they still voted no anyway.

I think the stubborn donkey mascot fits the repubs better than dems these days..

Yes. We have more Americans in jail now than any other country. Its great for the elite 2% who want to wipe out the middle class. No entitlement or food for the poor....maybe they can build another Dauchau or Auschwitz. heard they are alredy doing internement camps built by Halliburton

And if you truly feel that the Dems have our best interest in mind, you are only fooling yourselves, The only thing either party has in store for us, is what is best suited for themselves.

Politicians both parties, are not in love with the American People that much, that everything that they do, is centered around making life for us better. It is getting things done their way, their time, their agendas, whether we agree or not. One look at Obama and that is apparent.

Amidst the perpetual nonsense from the Right, a voice of reason. Good point and spot on.

What gets me are the publicly owned stock in private prisons. Something just does not ring right about that.

Sure they do so the crumb snatching middle class can prosper. It's called "The Trickle down Effect".
