2010 Election Polls Swing Back Against Democrats

With the exception of maybe 1 or 2, I hope America realizes we need to clean house and get all corrupt and morally bankrupt politicians out "at every level". Obviously the results of our choices will only be determined over time... but anything is better than the scum we've got working for us now.
We need representatives that "will Vote the will of the People", "Know and respect our Constitution", "Know Economics", "Cut Spending" and "will significantly Increase Job Growth in the US (not over seas).

Something I wish pollsters would ask instead of which party do you want to be in control of Congress is a third option and that is neither of them. I guarantee that third choice would blow the other 2 out of the water. I'm fed up with both parties constantly bickering, finger-pointing, not getting things done for the American people because they have become so beholden to corporate America and the religious right. And while I do not agree with the Tea party crowd I can certainly understand their frustration because there is frustration on the left as well.
No matter who wins this November the American people will still lose because until we can break out of this vicious political cycle of worse and worser things will never improve. Just remember, while the Dems may have not gotten us out of the ditch and may have actually dug the ditch deeper it was the Republicans who drove us into the ditch in the first place.

I am a lifelong Democrat. In fact, for many generations in my family no one has ever voted anything other than Democrat, as far as we know. And, yes, I voted for President Obama. But here's the thing. I have been waiting now for almost 2 years into his presidency for substantive economic change. Still waiting. It's painfully clear to me now that Obama's main skill is in showing up at the scene of every success, no matter who really drove the process, and ducking every possible tough choice, no matter how vital to our well-being. Case in point-the Gulf Oil spill. Obama has been missing-in-action for months, only to maguically reappear now that BP has plugged the leak. Makes you wonder who was really running the show.
And that my problem with Obama now. He truly seems not to understand that leadership is substance, not form. It's follow-through and listening to your constituents, not pushing through programs just so you can sayt you have a "legacy", notwithstanding public opinion to the contrary.
Obama and the Democrats are emblematic of a runaway government, heedless of voters needs or opinions.

I for one, loathe, despise, become nauseous at the very thought of Obama, his liberal appointments, his arrogance, his looking down his nose at us, his obvious racist attitude, his cronies, Immanuel, Axelrod, Rev. Wrong, Pelosi, Reid, Chris Dodd, Rangel, Waters, Tim Githnier, his inability to produce a birth certificate, his grades being hid from the public, his never having held a job in his whole life, his Marxist and Socialist philosphy, his literally giving hundred's of billions of dollars away to the N.Y. banker's, his use of the A.G. Eric Holder to sue Arizona for enforcing the law of the land.
However, I certainly don't get all teary-eyed over just any Republican being elected only to punished the ultra liberal present day Congress and Senate.
Rember King George W. and his druken sailor spending policies. His violation of our constitution on numerous occasions. Did the Republican Congress or Senate stand up to W.? No, they did not. Dick Chenney and his Haliburton connection's? No, they did not!
What we need to insist upon is people with integrity! Watch any election, all the opponent's actually prove within their commercials is that NEITHER ONE OF THEM ARE FIT TO HOLD OFFICE! But we are left with no choice but to choose the lesser of the two evils.
It is high past time for this to stop, before we all are doomed, and lose all our freedom's.
Let's all hope and pray that the Republican Party can come up with some people that will be interested in our welfare rather than their own. Until they do, we remain in serious trouble. The Democrats have proven they no longer have a right to exist, and the Republican's are not too far behind them.
Why not totally dissolve both parties? Then we will vote as we should, as an American, and not as a Democrat or Republican.
Then make it a Federal crime for any lobbyist to approach a canidate or anyone already serving in office.
I think per chance, this would do far more in "draining the swamp."
