You, on the other hand, sound like a mill for the regurgitation of broken records and stupid platitudes and a lover of swamp stagnation.
It is clear to anybody who can think that the country needs change and that only the Democrats can bring it by having a majority. You seek a life of endless entropy and frustration because you are afraid. Liberals are genetically interested in fixing the broken and conservatives genetically devoted to preserving what is good. Look the fuck around. There's little good to preserve. It's time for the sheep dogs to tell the cattle where greener pastures are to be found. Head um up and move um out. Yee haw!
Simple questions Brencat:
Was the country better served by the right-wing policies of the late 19th century (that's the 1800's) that were pro-business and filled with mass poverty and child labor, or was it better served by the progressive era that followed that increased workers' rights, voters' rights, democracy (direct election of US Senators), and reduced things like child labor?
Was the country better served by the right-wing policies of the 1920's that had short-term prosperity and an little-regulated market and massive concentrations of wealth and ran the economy into the great depresssion, or was it better served by the FDR era that had the government spend to keep people employed and build the infrastructure and created programs like Social Security?
Was the country beter served by the Republican government of the 1950's which introduced the CIA as the committer of covert operations to put friendly dictators in place, to assassinate and overthrow elected leaders, that increased the cold war tensions and paved the way for the arms race and the military industrial complex Eisenhower say growing out of control, with the McCarthy era, with little progress in many areas but continuing the basic liberal policies fairly well, or was the country better served by the democratic administrations of the 1960's which brought countless improvemements from increases in Medicare to the Civil Righta Bill to reducing poverty by a third to US beautification and consumer protection programs to the Peace Corps and a shift in US policiy to stop supporting European colonization or third world nations (I leave the Vietname War off as both parties equally supported it, and Eisenhower was laying the groundwork for war in the region while JFK prevented war, until LBJ started one)?
The best programs were passed by Democratic super-majorities (not Republican, ever that I've seen).
So when you want the Republicans to take Congress, you are supporting the backwards party, the party of the few not most Americans, to harm the country again.
You are against the progress of society and the well-being of the many. You are a poor citizen for not doing better at forming your view of the better political policies.
You let yourself be manipulated by the propaganda of the right, with its false attacks on the left, as you ignore the facts to hold those views.
If they are then the Democrats will be kicked out on their asses and the Republicans will be back in, or, maybe a third party will rise up that has a message for a majority of voters for a change.
Craig, I suppose I just want to be left alone. I want to be taxed less, and on my own to sink or swim. My views are probably more along the lines of 3rd party now, because you're absolutely right -- the Repubs have royally fvcked it up when they had total control. Likewise, I believe the Dems will make the same mistake. The two parties can't help themselves.
Our gov't needs to be cut in size by 75%. If that means no more preemptive war, pork, and extraneous services, no argument from me. Essential services only. Everything else leave to the states. There will likely be more suffering under my plan, but it might incentivize people to work their a$$es off more to avoid falling behind.
I blame sheep like you for filling the third party ranks with kooks instead of capable presidential people.
Ouch!! .. the "Powell Approved" comebacks were hard and swift !!! LOL
The way i see it .. If you people hate the Supermajority that much... Then give the repubs back the house in 2010. But i want to see what can be done with a Dem Pres and a Dem congress. Also i sure as hell DO NOT want to see anymore conservatives being appointed to the supreme court for it to get lopsided. Im sure up to three justices are just "dying" to retire about now ... but they want a Dem Pres in power before they do it. I wouldn't be surprised if the day after inauguration Justice Stephens calls it quits followed shortly by Justice Ginsburg. Just as some of your republicans fear a super majority in the government. I fear a super majority in the USSC and we need a Democratic president to address that.

Not at all surprising.
... to the tune of $8 trillion in interest paid on the Federal debt since Raygun's VooDoo Economics with another $2+ trillion of paid interest to be added in the next four years alone.
$ 10,331,139,000,845.92 in total Federal debt this morning - up $300+ billion since Oct 1st
