2. Nancy Pelosi was highly successful at getting the votes.
Speaker Tangerine has been unable to control is caucus on important votes.

Yet, it was the Democrats who were ousted from power.

4. They're not even fit to not govern.
They're completely worthless and will lose everything in 2012.

of the 3rd party Teabaggers. See the Repugs thought they were part of them but they weren't. This 3rd party does not have the intelligence to understand finance repurcussions, they are listening to Michelle Bachman tell them it is no big deal. This woman is dangerously stupid.

10. Of course. At the time though, Mr. Tisch and his buddies the Koch Brothers
were thinking that they could control these extremists. Come to find out, the "masters of the universe" are not that smart.
Extremists CANNOT be controlled.
