Democrats have got to be kidding right? They may convince some voters that redistribution of wealth is a good thing (thievery is more like it) but that can only last so long. Those naive population will eventually figure out who pays the price in the end. The problem with democrats is that they think they can beat natural economics. You just can't legislate the "natural course" of how things work and expect it to go your way. They simply do not have the basic understanding of economics. Unless no one has noticed, every single policy that the dems supported, and passed (meaning dem congress and president) has turned out a complete desaster (aka welfare, medicaid, and medicare)...70 something trillion dollars unfunded liability later. But you wouldn't hear that on the news right? As for republicans? half are hypocrites..those half are a walking, talking democrats.

With a little over 8 months to go before the election, they are only now beginning to see their political futures unravel? They must have known that this is coming. There has to be a larger and more hidden agenda behind Obama for so many to be sacrificing themselves like this. I think Marshall Law and the suspension of voting to replace these bastards is on the near horizon.
Watch for the next crisis. These people can't be that arrogant and stupid!

Just wait until Sen. Charles Schumer starts peddling "comprehensive immigration reform" -- a/k/a mass amnesty for 12-20 million illegal aliens.
The Democrats' poll ratings will nosedive further.
It's unbelievable that Schumer wants to amnesty these millions of illegal foreign workers, when more than 15 million Americans are jobless.
A recent CNN poll shows that about 75% of Americans want to see the number of illegal aliens in our country decreased.
The Democrats obviously don't care about unemployed working class citizens anymore -- and they can expect very strong oppostion to any "path to citizenship" mass amnesty schemes!!
We demand that Janet Naplitano restart the workplace raids and free up millions of jobs for unemployed Americans.

As a conservative democrat, I for one, was not an activist. I can now tell you that I am apart of the new American Revolution to kick out the corruption and institutionalized policy's that this congress has demonstrated to be routine policy. Obama/Reid/Pelosi has done more to fan the flames of revolution than anything in recent history. This administration and congress has become a boil on the ass of America. It is filled with puss (corruption) and the heads (Obama/Reid/Pelosi) need to be lanced so that the American people can receive some releaf and excise the puss for healing. It doesn't matter how we sit, this boil is not acceptable. It must be removed and "We, the people," can make 2010 THE YEAR FOR CHANGE. We are sick and tired of having legislation pushed down our throats; proposed Obamacare that reduces medical care; reduces quality care; does not reduce costs; raises taxes; makes sweetheart deals; acts behind closed doors; oozes corruption; raises national debt; gives unions exemptions at taxpayer expense. The list goes on. No sir, this conservative democrat will not sit on the sidelines and be silent anylonger. I am fed up with this abomination!

"I think having nonincumbents who don't have to defend the establishment is in some ways not a bad dynamic for us," says Mike Lux, a Democratic political strategist. "I think that it might end up being quite helpful to us."
Are you listening house and senate democrats? Your own party is placing you under the bus and Obama is at the wheel.
There is still time to turn this around. Kick Obamacare to the curb and watch how fast your numbers improve.

Democrats have to ask themselves why are they getting a run for the money?
Americans need to look at the past and ask themselves how this great nation ever got into this terrible mess if the Republicans did such a good job. On the other hand the
Rational and sensible voters needs to keep short term emotions aside and think what is important and best for the country not get influenced by distortions, fear mongering and hyperbolical statements like "Government take over" and "Socialism".
God save America!

Change we can believe in is in serious trouble. Democrats have credibility problems. The closed door wheeling and dealing, bribes and arrogance and special interests by the dems have left voters running away from from the party. Voters are more informed today than ever before. It's doubtful that the country will support the democrats going forward for a long long time. That's across the board, from the president, house and senate and even govenors across the country. This won't be fixed overnight but the dems will try to pass every bill they can before the dems lose their majority.
