What a rally cry"votem all out". Makes me wonder how many people just voted their jobs away in the last election without ever actually knowing what is going on. I now here many people waking up and actually learning about the issues etc. Many are wishing they hadn't voted as they did.

I'll say it again: Most people have no idea what they are voting for, be it Democrats or Republicans.

It takes a little more than phony TV programs to get the big picture. Hopefully people will learn that soon.

The real problem is when people vote for some one who is only against what they are against, not what they are for. People are figuring out that those who championed their stance against vague ideas of spending are realizing what kind of crap those people are voting for.

It reminds me of animal farm more then anything. Some people never realize what they are being led to.

Americans have been deluded into believing that there is a distinct difference between Republicans and Democrats. Both major political parties serve the same masters: the wealthy and corporate interests. The working class tends to support Democrats because they leave us a few more crumbs than do the Republicans. In the end, choosing between Democrats and Republicans is like choosing between Gonorrhea and Chlamydia: either way, we end up suffering from a "social disease".

Most voters realize that austerity is the coming way of life in America.

Voting as they did in 2008 has shown that votes count and they have consequences.

Spending like mad by politicians has put America in a bad way.

It will take 20 years or more to repair this.
