Business Sees Republicans as Vulnerable
BUSINESS GROWS BEARISH on Republicans holding Congress.

“It is likely that Republicans lose control of the House,” says Bernadette Budde of Business-Industry Political Action Committee. The biggest danger for Republicans: “clumps” of defeats in states such as Pennsylvania, Ohio and New York, submerging incumbents who don’t now appear vulnerable.

U.S. Chamber of Commerce election drive — dogged by controversy over accuracy of TV ads — visits Connecticut this weekend to shore up vulnerable Republican Reps. Simmons, Shays and Johnson. Democrats fret a Lieberman defeat in next week’s Senate primary there could imperil House races, since his possible independent candidacy could lift November turnout by moderate Republicans.

Democrats’ strong 2006 fund-raising means “money is no longer the issue,” says Michael Malbin, a campaign-finance expert.

1. That's a wierd title to the article

Do they mean that Business is upset that Republicans might lose congress? Or that they think that if you are betting you wouldn't watn to bet on the Republicans holding congress?

I am a capitalist (as some of you know), so the idea that Republicans are good for business and Democrats are bad for business bugs me.

2. I just inherited being a capitalist

and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that Republicans are just plain bad for business. The consumer market is stressed by low wages and low expectations, people are holding onto every nickel they get because they know prices are on the way up but their wages are not, and the stock market is absolutely putrid, thanks to Stupid's profligate tax cuts to all the wrong people.

We've absolutely got to get them out of office along with the Vichy Dems who have enabled them for years. The money's not going to come rolling in until we do.
