Independents decide all national elections. You know that.

Low enough that congress will change hands in 2010.
And I'm telling you they wouldn't be this bold and stupid unless they had replacement voters up their sleeves and that would come in under "immigration reform."

I wouldn't get my hopes too high for 2010.

Now that the EIGHT YEAR LONG DISASTEROUS BUSH PRESIDENCY has finally ended ... it will be a VERY LONG TIME before Americans will want Republicans back in control.

Please wake me when Obama's approval drops to anywhere near Bush's horrific numbers.

The American population that will remain supporters of Obama and his left-wing administration will be black folk, gays, tree-huggers, and the uneducated and poor - the latter being mostly black.

this is what happens when you try and please...many of you hated Bush but at least admit that he took a position..agree or disagree..he stood by it and saw it through..was not a pleaser like Obama..was not trying to win popularity..thats what a leader does...takes it on the chin and has a big pair..
