2010 Elections Poll Roundup: House Dems Ailing Wednesday Polls

Back to article

Those who didn't do their research, didn't see that the majority of "tea bag" nominees were backed by major Republicans, who think they're the only ones who can do anything "right" and control whatever they want because they have the money to fool the Independents into thinking the 'Tea Bag' party is more for the people, when they are for the Republicans.
Just as they did with "splitting the vote" between the Independents and Democrats in this last election by backing the 'Tea Baggers'.
But there's this thing called "Karma".. the Republicans may hold more control now, than in the past 2 yrs, but that can quickly change by the time of the election in 2012 and espec 2014 & 2016.
The People of America want a quick fix of all things going on Right Now, especially of the economy and increase in jobs. So it will be fun to see when the Republicans fail, when they find they can't deliver a quick enough fix either, without doing similar things as our great President and prior Congress has done the past 2 yrs. And most likely, they'll just put us in a deflation state. (This primary is just as what happened in the Reagan-Clinton-Bush eras, have people forgot what happened then or what)? Yet this will hopefully show the people, things are easier said than done.
What fools people can be, to be so easily misled by those (the GOP) with money and only a Republican would spend $40 million on a primary election = Linda McMahon for the senate seat in Conn.. But she lost..boo hoo-NOT! ..LoL.. that was the funniest and 'cough' greatest triumph of her campaign (to lose)!! LoL
Counting the days for the positive changes to occur by the Republicans and their Tea Baggers, though I know I will be counting for over 1-2 yrs and possibly an add. 4 yrs after that. Yet as said, if the Reps don't deliver quick enough, minds will be turn around more quickly!! So glad I'm not a Republican right now, le sourdes-muettes!! And we Democrats aren't whining.. you Reps have to do all the work now for the positive before the 2012 election or we'll have the top seat, yet again!! Which I'm sure is what will happen!!

This election is going to be the tip of the iceberg of things to come. Obama's attempt to turn this country into a socialist state is going to be thwarted. His minions are going to be kicked to the curb ... and Mr. Marxist himself will feel the wrath of this country come 2012 ... when "he" is kicked to the curb.
Many of us will savor watching "Pelosi" having to give up the gavel after this election. She is exactly where the "swamp-cleaning" needs to start at!

That is why the country will likely shift back to the republicans. The liberals and young voters who showed up to vote 2 years ago based on false promises by "Mr. Hope N Change", who is neither as it turns out, are now thoroughly discouraged and betrayed. Obama was elected because of the anti-war vote. But Obama not only did not end the war, he EXPANDED the fraudulent "War on Terror", which is actually a War on Israel's enemies for Israel that was triggered by the 9/11 false flag attack. Obama has continued the worst of the Bush policies - warmongering, Wall Street Billionaire Banskter bail-outs, Guantanimo Bay torture camp, Homeland Security stripping our constitutional rights, etc. So, now the people who showed up to vote two years ago because they thought there would be change from the Bush nightmare have been thoroughly demoralized. This two party system is so thoroughly corrupted it has to be overthrown. Like Thomas Jefferson said, there needs to be a revolution every generation. The US is WAY PAST DUE for a regime change.

The Tea Party... is in shock that President Obama has actually did what he said he would do... (platform) Health Reform, Banking Reform, Education Reform get out of Iraq, only Energy reform left.... and the fact the majority of people are benefiting from these reforms. VOTE DEM! VOTE DEM!

Why is Sarah Palin connected to the Tea Party now? Just two short years ago, she was the Republican nominee for the vice presidency of the United States. It doesn't make sense that you can change your party affiliations that fast. There has to be a very good reason. First, what is a Tea Partyer? Well, it's a person who is either afraid or ashamed to admit that he is or she is a Republican. Who can blame them? After all, the Republican Party with the help of their friends on Wall Street brought the whole world to it's financial knees. Millions of jobs were lost all over the world, not just in the United States. By calling themselves Tea Partyers, they absolve themselves of all blame and wipe their hands clean. Don't blame me they say, i'm not a Republican. Funny, because she's thinking of running for president in 2012 as the Republican. I'm a bit confused. She's a wolf in sheep's clothing! She's very active, very mobile, she jumps from town to town; "Rolling stone gathers no moss". She's dangerous; with her motherly natural charm and speaking ability, she can move a crowd and convince a lot of people, but let's look at her agenda. She wants to repeal health care, the Wall steet financial regulations, the recovery act tweek social security and medicare for seniors. Guess what? It's the exact position of the Republican party one day after the election of President Obama. The Republicans and the Tea Party are one and same! The whole thing is a sham/scam! There is nothing in their platforms for the less fortunate at the bottom of the ladder. Let's hope they don't forget this on election day because it will be at the peril of the future betterment of their lives.

How can anyone be happy and encouraged by what these so called leaders have done? This country is in deep trouble due to Government. Give the people back the money taken from them and get out of the way. THE GOVERNMENT IS TOO BIG! Vote for anyone that believes in limited government no matter what party. STOP THE SPENDING AND BORROWING!

I can't understand what you really want, GOP.
Why did we need to give the very wealthiest Americans a tax cut when the funds could have been alternatively used to reduce the national debt or help fund Social Security or Medicare?
Do you really think that John Boehner would be a good Speaker of the House?
Would you be proud of Sharon Angle or Christine O'Donnell in the senate? Are those the best you have to offer?
What's wrong with fixing healthcare so that those with pre-existing conditions can't be denied coverage?
You say you both want to reduce the deficit and create jobs. Did you ever study economics? Do you know that those are mutually incompatible goals?
Are you willing to live with Schumpeter's economy of creative destruction and the consequences thereof?
If you really think about and understand the importance of these questions, please vote Democratic on election day

Jim wrote these quotes--
"I am a member of MoveOn.org and you will not believe the ground campaign that we are running and the response we are getting from the young people."
"Young people are being mobilized like they were in 2008 and the GOP might be in for a shock."
---Nov,3 - and the votes already totaled, we won't be in shock at the lack luster turnout of the youth vote.
"People are realizing that there are a lot at stake during this election and a GOP House and Senate would reverse all the gains we made in the past 2 years and plunge this country into a backward spiral."
--- A backwards spiral would mean smaller government, less spending, no czars, no DEEM and PASS, no health care mandate, no take over of private companies, no stimulus, hmm, yup that's exactly what American people want to do.
"When they get all that power they do not know what to do with it."
--- We agree on this! Actually, while in the majority, the GOP leaped well at the start but quickly fell into the *Elitist Mentality* similar to the Democrats which is exactly why they were voted out. Ergo, this time the Democrats get voted out. America wants a non celebrity, non career politician, non elitist government that abides by the 9th and 10th amendments to our Constitution.
"There's an article about the Democratic Congress' achievements on the Internet, I forget what it is called, but it tells how much this Congress has done in 2 years."
--- The article you speak of is called the 2010 polls and shows just how upset the American people are with the last 2 years and what is expected on Nov, 3....

Joe Degrande of Texas illustrates the ignorance that pervades the Tea Party and their ilk. I doubt that they he has any undertsanding of what Socialism is really rather than just some bad word that he hates. Roosevelt began many progressive programs in 1932 - some have continued and many have been dropped. Since 1932 we have had 8 years of moderate conservative Eisenhower 12 years or Reagan-first Bush and 8 disastrous years of second Bush. Druingh this periods large portions, if not the majority of both the New Deal and the Great Society programs were gutted and destroyed. Yet try anything progressive and the Degrandes yell Socialism. The sad thing is that people like Degrande are opposed to any federal program EXCEPT those that benefit them. Is he giving back his social security and is he refusing medicare?
