I just have to say. When you don't get the most simple of financial lessons out there. "you don't spend more than you take in"..... It's time to go. 10 Billion more to bad housing loans? You chide the industry for making the bad loans then you try to buy votes by forcing the industry to support bad debt? More stupidity. Repubs and Dems are to blame. We need someone in there that GETS dollars and cents. That has money in the bank to prove it. We can all argue about the rich. But putting a poor man that doesn't get the simple financial lessons I stated above is lunacy. PERIOD There's no argument to this. How could there be? I would far rather put my hope in someone that has the intelligence to pull us back from the brink of economic ruin then put someone in office purely because they don't pose a threat to anyone. That is stupidity.

I would be happy to see the country back-away from the big push to the right-wing social conservatism that has cost us so much.

It's not all-about-the-money.

Let's see... where's the quote from Joe Biden guaranteeing the Democratic recapture of the House? Or how about one from San Fran Nan herself? She was "certain" she was going to remain Speaker in 2010.

Or you could read the skewed "polls" run by the Republican's propaganda machine, Newsmax, that are fixed so that you cant' answer a question the way you really believe. Newsmax says they're taking a poll but what they're really doing is trying to put words into your mouth. People don't want to make the effort to think for themselves, and a lot of people don't even know how to evaluate information. Sadly schools don't teach that and seem to think memorizing dates is more important. How to think is taught in college, and most people never go to college. It should be taught in grade school. The Republicans are running one mind-warp game after the other, and it's being financed by wealthy people who don't want to pay taxes and who want to rape the earth of all the oil they can find, like the billionaire Koch Brothers who pull the puppet strings of the Republicans. People in this country aren't stupid, but they act like a herd of cattle when it comes to voting. They believe all the hype they hear and parrot it, and they don't even know what they're talking about a lot of the time. Sadly, many of them don't even know they don't know. The vote is a powerful and important thing. Use it wisely in 2012.

So how is it a suprise that the head of the DCCC would predict victory for his party in the next election cycle? Check the records every party hack from both sides always predicts they will win.

And you thought this worth wasting time writing about?
