    You're happy? You realize the average American. The folks going to work daily. Supporting a family. Doing most of the living and dying in your socialist utopia are not all that happy. They're seeing their hard earned money seized by the government and given to special interest groups. Why are there generations of people permitted to live off the works of others.

    We see this with illegal aliens too. They cross the boards and have anchor babies. Most work. Some for cash under the table and pay no taxes, insurance or workers comp. They get hurt, welfare picks up the tab for some of it, you and I end up paying for it through hire health care costs. There are those who steal our ID's too but our leaders never mention those folks. They forget ID crimes are at an all time high. Go figure...

    You guys own this mess you've created. Lock, stock and barrel. With the spending you're proposing and the huge taxes you're raising, the average American will understand the lies told to him. Hope and Change. I can just see the ads. "Hope & Change. Are you really better off today than you were 2 years ago." It worked in 1980 and it will work again. I only hope the GOP has a worthy candidate.

      You realize that's a generic rant that has nothing to do with the elction in Minnesota, right, BB64?

        The article and comments here are celebrating the complete DNC take over of the Senate and ending any chance of the GOP to offer a filibuster. That means the disaster they create is solely theirs and the DNC. They can't blame George Bush anymore nor the GOP. The failure will be totally theirs. It will be their eventual downfall.

          BB64: "the disaster they create is solely theirs:

          Yes, any disaster they create in the future will solely be theirs, but you can't blame them for the past eight years.

              Of course they could mount a filibuster. There are two Independents, you know. Or are you admitting the GOP doesn't have the reasoning to convince two people? Lieberman is practically a Republican anyway.

                Shades of Nixon's farewell in 1962

                "Blubber, blubber, blubber........"

                Frankly, Bush and the GOP(in the shadow of el-Rushbo) f*cked up this counrty so much that in 3 and a half years Obama can probably run against their memory and still pull off a landslide. The people will not forget what a f*ckup GW and the GOP(in the shadow of el-Rushbo) really was.

                BB thinks he knows what the average American feels and thinks.That alone is funny. But, when a person can no longer stay on topic and must rant like that, it's time to call the doctor or to start taking that medication they have been neglecting. My goodness, I bet President Obama caused his nervous breakdown to. Man! Obama has done so many things in such a short time to rip this country apart ... glad we had the last eight years to prepare. LOL

                Don't forget that BB64 makes his living building nuclear and coal-fired plants. The news about the government project for solar power must be quite painful for him. Poor BB. :-(

                Are you saying they don't like democracy? The people have elected Franken, so what's wrong with that?

                "We see this with illegal aliens too. .... Some for cash under the table and pay no taxes, insurance or workers comp."

                Who hires them? Who pays them? Are those other illegal immigrants or Americans?

                "You guys own this mess you've created."

                Who are the "you guys"? The ones who supported President Bush and his policies in the past eight years? You do know that this economic recession and the outlandish spending spree started under his watch, right?

                  Probably not. Most likely a selective memory or sheer stupidity.

                  You are assuming that 1) I am a socialist. I am not, but if you feel better calling me one, knock yourself out... and 2) that every hardworking American thinks like you do...they do not...in fact, many are now waking up to the fact that the Republicans having been taking advantage of their past ignorance to make the rich richer and the poor poorer...

                  And as much as you want to draw parallels between 1980 and 2010 (or 2012), they do not exist... the GOP is floundering more than at anytime since Watergate (and some would argue....since 1964...).

                  BB, are you taking your meds? Your posts are really going downhill. Your first paragraph in particular is full of the worst grammar I've seen from you. I know you're under great stress with Obama in office but you'd better get use to it before your hatred and anger do you in.

                          BB

                          Your last words are the most telling: "I only hope the GOP has a worthy candidate".

                          That YOU need to point that out tells me, in my opinion, that the GOP has sorely been missing on that very point, for quite a while now. I just wish that conservatives would quit voting for unworthy candidates. Look what shape the country is in today, thanks to that kind of partsanship. Luckily in the last election enough people wised up and realised that we couldn't continue down the same path, and elected someone with different values, and ideas.

                          Now, if core conservatives could live up to their mantra during the Bush era of uncontional support for the electect President, regardless of personal feelings, maybe we could get back on our collective feet a bit faster.

                            ROFLMAO, I think those are the people who pretty much got sick of the agenda you were pushing and wanted some change. You continue to post as if reality has no meaning, The pattern on the right seems to be to emphasize the "growing" numbers of people who are discontent with Obamas stimulus with the idea that if they say it long enough people might believe it. Where are they? The polls continue to show he has widespread approval for what hes doing. How ARE those tea parties doing? Never get an answer for that one mainly becuase they arent, the tea parties failed. IN fact it appears the only ones that believe the doom and gloom prophecies ARE the right wing wacks on Propeller.
