We are bearing witness to a revolution...and it is NOT good
I am so disappointed. The future ahead for this country possibly heading back to Republican rule. We have blamed the President and his administration (in some cases, rightful so) but in the same aspect, if the GOP gain seats in the mid-terms, what will we have then?

It is just ironic that I believe, that a group of individuals Rand Paul, Sharon Angle, Meg Whitman and a list of others..are either in the lead and/or neck and neck with their Democratic opponents. We think it is bad now...just wait until the Tea Party, Racist, Millionaire crew, get elected.

Really, the middle class is on a edge. Houses are being lost by the day, jobs are going overseas, retirement plans are being destroyed to the core and social security is on the edge.

Just think...if nothing is done and the GOP regains power, do any of us think that we will be better off in two to six years? Look what they done the last time they had power.

I live in Michigan and Canada is a 35 minute drive and a bridge away. The way this country is going, singing the "Oh Canada" anthem is sounding better and better each day.

1. Seems like its time to roll over and bend over
The Democrats have no will in fighting this fight. The DNC fired all the fighters!

The President is chickening out, as are our Dems in Congress.

The GOP is poised to win in Nov, and there's not a damn thing we can do. It's as if they don't want to win.

It's as if they just want to surrender, go back to whatever they were doing before - and leave the rest of us hanging in the breeze.

7. Our politicians...
...both Democrats and Republicans want to continuing serving their corporate masters. All
of the stuff that "We The People" want (real health-care reform, reproductive rights for
women, gay rights, economic help for the middle class, etc) is of little interest to them.

The corporations bought and paid for our politicians. The politicians serve them.

If the Republicans gain more seats, I don't think there's going to be any difference in
what happens. Obama is still President. Both parties will still serve their corporate
masters. It's the tea baggers who will be pissed and disilousined when they realize that
a majority gets them jack squat! These fools think that their agenda will be pushed through.
Oh please. They'll get nothing. They are all amped up and ready for abortion to end, gays
to be outlawed, illegal immigration stopped, and prayer in every school. They'll get none
of it, and I will personally enjoy watching them in shock!

2. HAHAHAHAHAHAAA!
I love all these new peeps who come online right before elections and talk about how we should just give up and flee the country. This year is a bumper crop! If only we could grow corn so fast!

:loveya:

3. So, are you encouraging others to vote Democrat in the Mid-Terms
Or do you just have time to diss my views on the Democrats that choose to turn their backs on our President, at a time of critical need.

And before you ask, I vote Democrat in EVERY election and continue to work (have not stop since President Obama got elected) on getting others (who might sit home during in November 2010) to get up, vote and keep this country in Democratic Power!

(Roll eyes...at the above comment from the peanut gallery)
