1. The Democratic "leaders" in Congress are afraid that the BIG MONEY will not flow in ...
not worried about the GOP. That's the hidden agenda - Big Money OWNS Congress so they can't do "too much" for us unwashed masses.

2. i was reading the comments
this one stood out


Rendell is absolutely correct. Not only are they souless, but they are clueless. Instead of standing for what they believe in, they constantly compromise without ever receiving anything in return. I dislike the GOP but when they want to get something done, they almost always do. The Dems need to stop worrying about what the GOP will say or do because they are going to lie and distort the truth anyway. The Dems have also shown themselves to be no better than the GOP. The Dems are corporate lap dogs also. The answer to the health care problems in this country are easy to fix but yet the Dems allowed the culprits (insurance companies) to have even more sway over the system. There are good aspects to the bill, but the bill could have been made 100x better if the Dems only had the cajones to stand and fight. There's only a handful of Dems who are willing to do battle, the rest are too busy trying to get reelected.

3. They seem to be
worried more about the republiCONS votes more than Dems. They are afraid to say it like it really is for example,they are afraid to call a lie a lie. They sat back during the healthcare debate and let the TEABAGGERS take over now,they seem to think they are in charge.Where is the organization?

10. they had a rally in my town
me and a friend went to see how wacky it got
it was pretty boring here and they seemed like misdirected people overall
no open hatred being spewed
a lot of the ladies garden club variety buzzword race talk
diverse crowd
they held it on the community college pavillion so a lot of students
no direction to the program my friend said
he stages events locally small band shows and such what
basically an open gripefest
so i agree no direction is pretty correct
i bet the GOP is herding cats with those people

8. I expected them to show up...
I have been watching everyone every since the election seem to be sitting on their hands and I guess everyone will wake up a month before the elections.


I notice that since this president has been election I have been hearing many say they won't vote for him if he doesn't do this or that I have never heard that as much as I have with this President.

So maybe when election time comes I will sit on my hands too and watch as the RepubliCONS take over again. Then everything will be alright. Or maybe there is some brave Democrat who will take over from Barack who will do everything everyone wants exactly when they want it,or will we have to be patient with whoever takes his place.I also don't remember when the Dems didn't fight for their party or with the leader. I guess color makes all of the difference.


I have never seen any President do everything in 14 months and I have never seen the public expect him to do so that quickly. Unless he will work on one issue a day something this President does not do because he is working the HELL OUT OF THE REPUBLICONS AND THEY ARE LOSING THEIR DAMN MINDS!!!

Maybe we need to give the TEABAGGERS their country back...

9. He has been saying this for a while...
as have I. What we have seen throughout the healthcare debate is that many so called Dems weren't so they aren't running again.

They are crying when the facts are on our side and the people. They are running away voters by acting afraid and sending out soft spoken scarey cats. Are some being blackmailed?
