Vote so we can block them from passing bills. We are not better off then before. We are in terrible shape. We need to all vote to stop these jerks from doing anymore damage. I thought this health care was so stop costs!! I dont think so, it will raise costs for those who pay for it out of pocket. There is more too just cant list all the damage they have done and or will do. When they cant do anything its the best!!

The Power of 41. While Democrats are slap-happy over the very slim possibility that they will lose the Majority in November, the truth of the matter is that the GOP only needs 41 votes to stop the runaway locomotive that has become the Democratic Agenda. Nancy Pelosi can continue to run wild in the House all she wants, but when (not if) the GOP picks up a few extra Senate seats in November, her buffoonery will be put to a stop. What's the point of passing partisan House bills if the buck stops at the GOP-filibustered Senate?

It will be a spectacle to behold to see Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid (?) crying and begging for votes once again.

I agree! And I'll toot my own horn -- I've never missed an election since 1972, the first time I was eligible. I really wish more people would get involved and not take the freedom to vote for granted.

Personally I would like to vote them all out and start over but since that cant happen. I agree we need to get some new faces in there and a balance

When we have true bi partisan on each bill is the best bill. A bill that both sides have to give and get.

Washington your fired!!!!
Dont give the government any power over anything, they cant be trusted with a R or a D they only look to ruin those who want freedom. I think we need a new platform
Vote them out and replace them with NOTHING!!
You will still get paid, have your house, pay rent and your school and your roads.
Most of them are local taxes, and state taxes.
enjoy watch washington crumble and your freedom increase.

this.

republicans controlling everything will only make things worse. actually it won't...it'd be more of the same, to be frank. more no no no no no.

dems aren't doing anything so...again, it'd be more of the same.

*shrugs*

we need to start completely over and get ppl that actually represent the ppl to be a part of congress. these ppl, definitely on the republican side and yes, a lot on the democratic side do not, i repeat, DO NOT have their constituents interests in mind when they vote on issues.

Using generalized anger and impatience as an excuse to turn the reins back over to the very people who steered us into the ditch to begin with doesn't sound like such a good idea to me.
