The Democrats think they can grab six more House seats from the GOP in the 2010 midterm elections, but 1988 Democratic presidential nominee Michael Dukakis isn't so sure. "In advance of 2010, I'd like to see building a precinct base in every state in this country," he urges. He fears the party is dillydallying on what he considers a dry run for President Obama's re-election. "Get moving on this. We don't have time to lose here," Dukakis frets.

Making fun of the American people for protesting the current policies and taxing them and the kids to death will cause the Democrats to lose both the House and the Senate in 2010.

And if there is an attack, which will be 100% President Obama fault, their loses will be huge.

Don't forget the Wilderness was kept safe and the economic growth since Reagan has been historical.

BTW, President voted for every spending bill that President Bush signed, so be informed before throwing stones.

The Dems (after allowing us to be in the wilderness(es) of Reagan and the Bushes) should NEVER lose a moment to build on everything in every little corner of the country.
