Well what about us? They want exactly what we got. Are we right to now take advantage of it? Or is it OK bcause Republicans destroying the country is inevitable if they have the power?
I'm just happy I still got my job. Some of my friends who are obama supporters do not. I told them Obama is bad for business... oh well... I'm sure they are having fun on the government cheeze. Say it with me: "Hope, Change.. Yes We Can"
Oh yea, isn't gitmo closed yet? What about the prisoners.. "Yes we can!!!" dumbasssess.. drank the koolaid didn't you??
Time to rewind your calendar and put some funds in your reality checking account. The economy was tanking long before Obama took office. The policies and conditions that set up the colossal failure of our economic system were set in motion when Reagan started deregulating the banking and finance institutions. Those policies were continued and expanded under the Clinton administration.
The early rise in earnings and wealth were to be expected, but that was before the Bushwhackos abandoned all remaining oversight and control of their Wall Street robber baron contributors who, by that time, had taken complete leave of their senses and pursued their greedy self-indulgent self interests, inflating their holdings with hot air and fantasy paper that led to the predictable, and predicted point of total collapse.
Cliffs:
Reagan built the bomb. Clinton loaded the powder. Bush gave the thieves the matches and cheered as they lit the fuse.
Uh-huh! As if Obama was President or otherwise even close to being in charge of adminstrative oversight and regulation at any time during the Bushwacko administration's reign of terror. :roll:

Lets get a damn clue, in a democracy, the one who gets the most votes wins. In Minnesota, that person was Franken and not Coleman, end of story.
In other close Senatorial elections in 2008.
In a close election in Oregon, a not, IMHO, bad republican incumbent Smith lost to a democrat.
In Alaska, another disputed election, Stevens came up on the short end of the stick to Beggish who did get the most votes.
In Geogia, another disputed elections, Chambliss won more votes than Martin. As a democrat I have to
wonder about the people of Georgia, but I still don't dispute that Chambliss won the most votes.
Notice two things. (1) The person who got the most votes won which is as it should be. (2) In 2008,in close elections, the democrats won three of four. Not really surprising when the republicans were dope slapped in the election of 11/2006, and here it is, 7/1/2009, and the GOP still has not learned that they lost public approval and still have not figured out that their policies earned them their own bad election results.

We people of georgia are a proud people and protect our own - even if genetically questionable. In fact, we're so proud that we now have a confederate history month.
The Great Republican Messiah Reagan was an actor. Not to mention its likely Franken won't be the responsible for the deaths of thousands.
They're very different - Reagan was an ideological hack, an anti-government radical whose politics were primarily based on his resentment over paying taxes that led him to change from being a 'New Dealer' to an anti-government crusader whobegan his political career by volunteering to be the spokesman for the anti-Medicare movement (secretly led by the head of the AMA), creating an album given to millions of people in a PR campaign to fight JFK (JFK won, but had to reduce his plan).
Of rouce, Reagan went on to mislead the public about his record - when Carter accurately pointed it out, Reagan used his infamous 'there you go again' line to say Carter was lying - and of course Reagan then pushed big Medicare cuts as soon as he took office, putting the lie to his campaign position. Regan's political conversin to the right came from being the spokesman for General Electric; being the advocate for the biggest corporate interests was comfortable for him continuing as President.
Franken on the other hand has an agenda about the good of the American people (and people globally). UNlike Reagan, he's laid out such plans in his books.

Looking forward to AL winning over many opponents.
If you think AL is just a SNL comedian, you think wrong.
He is a smart political genius.
His radio program addressed cutting edge issues "years" before
they became mainstream.
AL was talking and exposing the Rove/Cheney vs Valerie Plame
issue years before CNN latched onto it.
AL radio listeners were amused it took CNN so long to report this.
When CNN and the others started reporting on the Plame CIA story,
this wasnt news to AL listeners. It was old news.
Yep. old AL is going to earn his way as senator.
AL is a political genius, and in addition just happens to have a sense of humor.
If you dislike the taste of eating crow, I wouldnt pre-judge AL.

Do not confuse the ideology of a given politician with the fact that they either get the most votes or do not.
No matter how well you prove the logical premise that a given politician is an idiot, it does not change the fact that he or she that gets the most votes wins.

Al won thanks to Obama. His own campaign manager said if Obama wins by 10 points in MN they have a good shot. They were relying on straight tickets to win. Obama won the state by 10.2% and Al wins by 300 votes. Just horrible timing for Norm. If this is 2010 I doubt Al would be within 5% of Norm.
I still dont know any serious liberals who voted for Al. The only people I know who voted for him did exactly what they were hoping for, straight democrat. They saw Obama and just check marked D's down the ballot.
It shows the power a strong presidential candidate can have in other races.
