I hope so. Anything would have to be better than the system as it is.

VG..I'm wonderin' again...Are we "miserable" because we are democrats? Are we miserable because we are unhappy with congress? Are we miserable because the tea party is beyond help?

I don't know but I get the distict impression you don't like us..Now I'm really heartbroken over that but I do know a lot of good republicans and they are not "miserable', maybe a little misguided, but all in all , good folks...

And yes you are gonna get your butt kicked in the next election as the heat is turned up..the dems sat out the last one and we'll be out there even more than 08'..I can hear the nuts grinding as ACORN warms up...lol

Go oh beloved Exon...Go oh beloved Exon...Pray to the gods of commerce,the uber rich,and hope they will give a pittance back from the money they have stolen from us through phony tax breaks and government subsidies...That will be the tea party mantra...Oh and "get him out at any cost no matter what it does to our country of course..."

Did you know that most people under 40 years of age voted for Obama? That is the same age bracket that has been hitting the unemployment lines the last three years. When Jimmy Carter was voted out, it wasn't that he was inept (he was) or that he was ridiculed around the world (he was), it was because of the economy and the jobless rate.

Even Bill Clinton knew that. He ran on the slogan "It's the economy, stupid." Clinton moved away from the social issues and teamed up with the Republican Congress and The Contract with America. Clinton moved to the right.

Obama wasted 3 years fighting social causes and neglected the economy. Betcha a few 40 year olds are not going to make the same mistake twice.;)

vg,
you are absolutely right...Clinton did however,raise the taxes on the uber rich and that's what the current fight really is all about..If bush had not given the tax breaks he did this mess wouldn't be here..I just fell into the trap of passing blame and that is wrong too,as too many of us are just looking to blame and not to heal the problems we are all facing.

I've said it again and again, Obama is NOT a leader,and sadly I worked for his campaign...All politicians are out of touch with the average Joe...That is why I've said many times over, if the republicans run a moderate,one who can work both sides of the isle,they will win wiithout any effort at all...However the current batch running is nowhere near moderate and they definitely are not willing to work with anyone..

I have to vote for the one that I feel will work for my interests as close as possible,all politicians have their own agendas, and the dems are closest to the middle class(or what's left of it) imho...

I think corporate greed, along with the military/industrial complex, and handouts to pacify poor, or lazy people are the downfall of this country and I firmly believe that corporate America is holding the economy hostage right now to get even more..
