Blah, blah, blah. Prejudiced talk against the Democrats. Blah, blah. I see Democrats and Independents talking about the politicians and what they are doing wrong on here. I see the Republicans blasting a whole group of people called Democrats just because they're Democrats. That is just prejudiced!!

The tax comparison with Clinton....Its time to move forward not back... Married making 60K - tax $16,800 Married making 60K- tax $9,000 How come I had to pay hafe the tax then someone who made twice as much then I did??? I guess the bills I had didn't mean anything.

Singles have been high taxes before Clinton. And they still do.

Where did you cut/paste all that crap? dont agree with it? oh well. argue the point, dont just slander it. It's all there.... the truth hurts. I find that Libs never like facts... I know that they will do to the rest of the country what Corzine did to NJ. Everything has gone up & everything is a crisis. It won't be anything else if DEMS take over DC. I do believe the economy is tanking because DEMS need to say how aweful things are... it's politically expediant for THEM...(or so they think). You watch & see... if people are complaining about REPS then they will have much more to complain about when DEMS take the helm. I really wouldn't mind it so much except DEMS it's scarey that DEMS change the laws to take our rights away...making what's constitutional, unconstitutional. They hate social conservatives for trying to preserve all that is good about America. DEMS think we don't pay enough for fuel as it is. They also don't want to use coal or fuel shale...& Gore is already insighting people to do damage. How does that help get us off oil dependancy & get people back to work???? Sad! Very sad. ...excuse me if I'm rambling...but I already know the drill. So you are blaming everything in the last year and a half...Come on you have got to be smater than that!!!Yes I blame congress for not fixing the mess that was there!!! I just know the drill when it comes to DEMS is what I'm saying or we would be using our own resources by now. I'm saying DEMS are ALSO part of the problem. It was politically expediant for them to vote FOR the war on terror...now they want to weary the public with their Vietnam style complaints. Dey ja Vue??? Just like they are letting the moritorium on drilling expire...it's an election year! It would kill them politically but we all know they will be back interfering with productivity & ingenuity of industry & the workforce. Where have the DEMS been in protecting our jobs here at home? Why are they backing illegal immigration when we are on the brink of bankruptcy? Why do they insist on spreading the pie thinner & thinner instead of taking care of what we have here at home first? See? All I'm saying is they are not being reasonable & have done nothing but propose natl. healthcare. It's time for voters to vote out EVERY incumbant...then whoever wins might have a chance. Both sides do the same things but for different reasons. Wrong policy is just that no matter the reason.

each party is incredibly and indelibly responsible. except the independents,lol Yes well that's easy when you do nothing you can't be blamed for anything. Right? Did you ever think the independants get no where because people don't want anarchy? (Hint Hint!)

Uh...DEMS like them too. Or haven't you heard of those limosine libs???? Oh! I forgot...it's all about those meany REPS...right? LOL Like only REPS are rich. I seem to recall that Bloomberg (that idiot) said if NYC got rid of the illegals it would shut down NY. Can you imagine? An elected official actually admitted that????? Bloomberg is a lib dem hiding behind whatever is politically expediant & self serving. He's an egomaniac too. I can't stand him. As I have been saying there's enough blame to GO AROUND! You can't point fingers unless you are willing to also place blame & clean up your OWN party. So far it's REPS who do have accountability. I don't see it with DEMS & that's why they are so corrupt & so superficial. Instead of replying to someones comment you just ramble on..I will ask again..You are saying all these problems were brought on since 2006..Nothing before that had anything to do with it? Do YOU really think DEMS aren't part of the problem? That's MY point.

Yet you support spending billions on a war over seas and have blocked increaseing in benfits for our vets..Is that taking care of things at home? You blame Slick wille for everything yet we had a republican congress..Every post you start you bash and then complain why people cant respond respectfully!!!

You blame a past president when he had a Rep controlled congress..Tell me how that works!! Im an Independent and blame everyone!!!

Well actually if the media was doing what they are suppose to be doing none of this would be happening. If you read anything about energy & this economic situation (MY POV that is), you would see I'm not some money grubbing REP. I do blame both sides but on these boards (like in the media) it does seem like the GOP POV is way outnumbered, so even if you think I'm all for REPS I'm not...when it comes to the issues I see the reality & I post that way. I just can't stand all the election year lies & slander going on...mostly by DEMS toward McCain but mostly SARAH PALIN. It's disgusting.

It doesn't matter who gets elected the two parties have such a stranglehold on the American govt that neither one will allow the other to do anything that might score brownie points with the people. so the gridlock will continue and nothing will get done but an ever increasing barrage of dirt slinging

That is what happened and why
