Do you realize The Wizard of Oz is now 71 years old? My, how times have changed!

If Dorothy met characters with no brain, no heart and no courage now, she wouldn't be in Oz. She'd be in Congress.

Well it goes to show that the more things change the more they stay the same.

There exist some rather serious literary criticism that makes the argument that the Wizard of Oz was a turn of the 20th Century political allegory.

It is truly unbelievable that todays democratic party has indeed totally embraced the acutely "Dopey" mindset as a most desirable requirement for it's elected politicians !

These folks are truly examples of American Politics at it's absolute worst.

The American People shall hopefully take care of these tremendous "Pains In The AZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZES" during the next few elections !

Those will be days worth remembering ! Thanks / Lamar

No she'd still be in Oz.

With Kev, Abbott & Petey.

Another bunch of brainless, heartless, gutless & useless twits to replace their predecessors.

Just because you don't agree with a political affiliation, or may disagree with someones ideologies doesn't mean they're ignorant, or stupid or any of the above.

I'm sick of this BS. I may not agree with the majority of Republicans, but I also understand where they're coming from and can LOGICALLY debate. Just bagging on the 'enemy' is not helping anyone, and regardless of what side you're on, you look completely ignorant.

Sad how easily deceived people are by partisan tribalism - so easily passing the blame to the "other side of the aisle".

Obviously, 2000-2006 saw our nation operating to near perfection!

Let's all wake up and realize that Democrats and Republicans are failing us. The Republicans pushed us to the brink of collapse and just this week we heard them spread lie after lie after lie in the Health Care Summit just to try and win political points. Obama's "iso shot" responses were priceless. I feel sorry for a guy who must realize everyday the burden of being so much smarter than the people he must cajole.

On the other hand, Democrats have proven year after year after year to be absolutely spineless. When they are in power, we've heard them spread lie after lie after lie about the true cost of programs or stand against surges, and then implement them soon after.
