What a load of crap. Politicians are not stupid? They are going to start listening to people on the street? You will literally believe anything.
You want to start listing them? You will lose. The republicans scandals over the last ten years is a long and sordid list.
Red...I'm not going to get pulled into your games like I did previously. It's one of the reasons I rarely visit the board. Read the message again. I was talking about voting scandals and YES your Democrats own that one. You'll never admit it but you're not a moderate, you're not fair, and you're not smarter than everyone on this site. If you were you wouldn't be in the career field you're in and you wouldn't be wasting your time here. Regardless of your opinion...just suck it up and realize America isn't in love with this Administration or Congress like you are. They had it all and blew it. Of course, I'm sure it's due to America being stupid...or Bush's fault...or because people were fooled by Fox News. Get over yourself and your beloved party! BTW...I might need to ask the mods for more bandwidth just to list the Democrat criminals from Illinois and Louisiana. I'm still awaiting the response of why Louisiana has only had 1 Republican Senator and only a few Republican governors...yet we've been ranked poorly in most quality of life categories. If Democrats are so smart and honest, why are Louisiana's politics so screwed up? George Bush?
I have to disagree with that statement, i think it goes alot deeper than that. Personally, I think that the GOP just does a ****ing awesome job at whining really loud, and getting their base all pissed off, and it resonates. The democrats aren't very good at that, and they don't attack like the republicans do, the democrats just defend. If the Dems were a fraction as good at getting their base all fired up, this wouldn't even be a contest.
Right. Obamacare, stimulus to nowhere, cap and trade, 10% unemployment, threatened tax increases and the unabashed arrogance of this administration had nothing to do with it. It's the whining of conservcatives that's the cause. Get a grip.:dis:
The Democrats always have a great grass roots campaign effort. They usually target minorities (by pulling the race card), young adults (inexperienced, vulnerable, easy to influence), elderly (scare tactics), and the poor (we're the only party who cares). They don't give a rat's ass about these groups after the election but go running back each time they need their vote. It must be nice to have millions of voters in your back pocket and never have to truly represent them. This election isn't for the Republicans...it's against the Democrats. It's similar to the last election cycle. This time it's more interesting because there appears to be a huge turnover. The Democrats had it all and went WAY overboard with their far-left liberal agenda. They can blame Bush, Fox News, the economy, etc. but they really need not look any further than the mirror.
You won't hear me argue with that. I think the Democrats suck. I think they are sleazy people, who use societies trials and tribulations to earn votes. But I think the republicans suck too, I think they are the party that is only interested in themselves and people like them, and could give a f*ck about everyone else. And then behind the scenes, the right and the left all love each other and are best friends. It's a catch 22.
Times they are a'changin'. The "silent majority" (voters who live between the coasts) are learning that they can rise up and demand accountability. We don't have to sit there and take it.
