Could Linsey Grahanmesty be one of those moderates you are talking about? What I heard him say on clips on Beck today proved to me that he needs to be removed from the GOP as soon as possible. He said that only the nations that went Green immediately would be able to survive. He is a green weenie, I guess.

How do you know it will never happen? It's very possible that the crazy "health care" bill will pass. If so, it will be very bad for the Democrats regarding the 2010 election.

Health care bills passed in the House and the Senate.

If the health care "reform" bill is so great, how come it won't be effective (if it passes) until the year 2013?

They are going to pass something. It won't have public option and some of the other things that the far left membership thinks it has to have but they will pass something because Obama has to have something. I think they think they can survive without the far left or they will be able to take back over in 2012.

Gotta have the money to get it started. That date may be moved up, by the way.

I am not a huge Palin fan but the 2 issues are quite different.

Dodd and Dorgan quit because they were gong to get killed in 2010. Dodd was asked to leave by the party but they wanted Dorgan to stay. As far behind as Dorgan was he eas their best chance to hold that seat. It is prety mucha lock for the GOP now. They puched Dodd out so they could keep the seat. If he had run he would have lost to the Republican. The Ct. AG who is a Dem is liekly to win the seat.


Now as for Palin she was being sued left and right. Alaska has this strange law that essentially anyone can bring suit against the Governor. She had to pay for defense against any and all suits, they all lost but cost her a fortune. She was driven from office in a concerted effort by her foes.

How can we have two messiahs at the same time? Have you removed Obama from that standing? It sure sounds like it.

You don't remember 1994, do you??

The coming earthquake is going to make that look like a tremor.
Hypocrisy and lies, doesn't cut it with the majority of Americans. Only the crooks into corruption, get off on that if it benefits their wallets.
People are waking up, that the lies told during the candidacy, are adding and adding. The only thing he didn't lie about, was his statement, "we are about to fundamentally change this nation" Uneducated people that he recruited, had no clue what the meaning of that meant. They are getting it now.
