Skip, no need to get angry just because you're losing. It's only an election. Take a couple Aleve and it'll be better. Take a good look at this Nov. 2nd and know that 2012 will be a lot worse. Have a good night man.

Skip are you just upset that you and your LIFE PARTNER cant join the military and still get your welfare check and free insurance? Dont cry buddy it will be alright!! Hate and envy will consume your soul so let it go LOL(:(:(:(:

Skippy, hit 'em with your purse big fella! Oh, when you see him, tell Bawney Frank hello for us.

What a hoot. You guys are a laugh. More bullies and more BS.

You can't strut and preen and talk tough about November 2nd because you're toast. So now you attack me! HAHAHA. Go for it boys.

Oh, and by the way tough guys, my wife and daughter both think you're compensating for your tiny wee-wees. AHAHAHAHAHAHA. Around here that's called "The Irish Curse or the Leprechaun's lament." You know, small hands, small feet, small....uh....personality. HAHAHAHAA

Just look at the boys who are backing the Gop/Baggger ticket everybody. Bed-wetters and gay-baiters. What a sad commentary on the party of Lincoln.

HAHAHAHA.

See you on November 2nd suckas.

Obama/Biden 2012, for a better America

skippy - you're living in something other than the real world plus your silly rhetoric is only demeaning to yourself.

Now, you're sounding like some kid on a computer-----wee wees? You're voting???? They better get you help in the booth.

The opposite of polarization is movement toward the middle. Polarization is the act of moving in opposite directions twoards the poles or polar opposites.

You are correct in stating that extreme political polarization in this country started with Ronald Reagan, but it was perfected by Newt Gingrich and his clones, Dick Armey and the aptly named Tom Delay. None of those people live by the golden rule, but rather by this rule:

"Let me pull the wool over your eyes and get you to do my bidding while I take away any freedom you have known and any chance you have to make a decent life."

Well, it looks like the liberals in the administration have done just that. Pulled the wool over everyone's eyes. Time for a shift - you know, shift happens!!

If you don't want this administration to get re-elected in 2012, you better not vote for the Tea Party exactly because shift does happen. If those people get elected the shift to the left will be a tidal wave.

In spite of everything Gingrich can do, Americans fundamentally don't like polarization. The incorrect labeling of the left as socialist and communist is only working this year because the economy still hasn't recovered fully.

I still have faith that Newt cannot realize his dream of taking over the USA by the one historical method he has studied. Although, Bush almost creating the second great depression has helped his chances, his model having arisen in very bad economic times.

Feisty, when your progressive party loses seats in both houses, will you step up your comments on the GOP, vilifying them more? I can't wait to hear your response after the mid-terms.

Take a look at "real clear politics" it's a compilation of all the polls.

"therefore is unlikely to be picked up in the government's unemployment report on Friday." I could have bet money on that fact! With the last unemployment figures before the election, I knew they'd figure out a way to skew the numbers to not have to report a higher rate. Then after the election, they'll have to report that the numbers are 'unexpectedly' higher than expected. They're 'transparent'; we can see right through them, their strategies and lies. They're deluding themselves into thinking we're asleep, studid or both. Wait until November 3rd where we'll get the last laugh on Obama and his arrogant narcissism.

Now that's funny! What, the deficit has gone down under the annointed one? Perhaps it's time for you to stop getting your talking points from Keith Olberman and Chris Matthews and pull your head out of the sand.

The people will speak in November and the Marxist utopia that Obama and his ilk are attempting to create will be derailed. Barry will be left a lame duck and he'll be sent packing in 2012.

BO will never, ever, no time, now, later, whenever, run a surplus on anything unless he buys an Army/Navy store. Clinton's 8 years coincided with the greatest economic expansion in our history. He was smart enough not to mess with it. BO has run trillion dollar deficits for 2 years with a projected one for 2011. He, in fact, check Treasury Direct, will outspend GBW's 8 years in less then four. Face the facts. BO is the greatest spender of all time. I'll close with this. LBJ, a dem, took us into Vietnam, 10 years, 60,000 dead, and they did NOTHING. Iraq and Afghanistan are skirmishes compared to that.

The Clinton surplus was created by an overblown and unsustainable economy driven by an "irrationally exhuberant" stock market and technology craze. The bubble it created was due to burst --- and it did --- right when President Bush took office. Only during that recession, compounded by 911, President Bush and the Republican Congress enacted policies that lessened the effect of the bust and recession.

Why does President Obama and the Democrat controlled congress need 5 to 7 years to correct our sinking ship, when the Republicans did it in less than 2?

Possibly the wrong policy decisions and misguided priorities have something to do with it?

annie....i agree with you, this President has achieved much despite of the obstruction from the republican leadership. they from the start wanted him to not succeed in anything including health care reform; they pretended in working with him because he told them he wanted bi-partisanship. it was a calculated game from the start and Demitt said it...."waterloo" and no repub repudiated that comment. So we will hope that all Americans realize what is going on and vote accordingly for those in congress who are really trying to fix things and not pretending and lieing!!!

Of course the Repulicans said no! No to the government takeover of health care, no to "Cap and Tax", No to Obama's Marxist agenda......... that my dear ladies, is also what the American public are saying and the results will show come November.

Oh, Annie, don't know what planet you are living on, but please provide me with the statistics that show that the economy is getting better? The Unemployment rate has gone up as of late, the GDP numbers are horrific, and consumer confidence is waning! Turn off CNN and MSNBC on your boob tube and stop watching Olberman and Matthews for your "news"!

annie - there were many ways to address the economy. Obama chose the one that cost the most, hurt the economy most and federalized as much business as he could. POOR choices. Most of your comments underline the fact that you actually know nothing of the causes of our problems or the sensible solutions. As far as the economy improving....??? You must be getting the Obama emails that feed you the koolaid.

sistergirl - Republicans weren't against healtcare reform, they were (are) against healthcare takeover and the monumental costs, to all Americans, for the Obamacare that was passed without anyone reading it. Please get in the game and become knowledgeable of the subject instead of spouting Obamarhetoric.

dansu...who you trying to fool..."they were against healthcare takeover". sorry there was no "takeover" of health care nor "death panels"; the repubs are the ones that labelled it that. they had every opportunity to try to really work with the dems in solving the problems in health care, and there were (are) problems..did you not see and hear the stories? look around you, the health insurance companies are still in existence to this day....no governmental "takeover". maybe that was a lie, you think? and who was telling you that lie....the republicans. this is not a game...people need help in this country!!!

Matt - Wrong - government regulated capitalism put us in this mess - democrats insisted everyone needed a house, whether they could afford it or not; among other things.

Did you hear about the postal union elections, the results are unknown because thousands of ballots are lost in the mail. This is so typical of any government run program. Did you also read the story that 89,000 stimulus checks were mailed to dead people and prison inmates. Don't mess with Joe.

Matt - I would say it is more like "unscrupulous" capitalists put us in this mess along with many, many "unscrupulous" politicians. When you are the gatekeeper (government) of the henhouse and you open the door of the henhouse to the foxes, well you really can't blame the fox for what comes naturally. Capitalist ventures have to have SOME regulation or the crooks will steal from everyone. A key here is the ENFORCEMENT of those same regulations which our SEC just forgot to do.

Think about it pope: who got rich?

That's a nice little urban myth that the government _made— these poor bankers give out mortgages at gunpoint (to, presumably, minorities here). Except.... that the banks sure got rich doing it. They made money hand over fist. And gambled it away. So did they not want to be doing this?

So the government who ended up having to bail them out didn't benefit. But Goldman Sachs got rich. AIG got rich. And the gap between the rich and poor in this country is wider than it ever has been.

dansu, isn't that what Obama is talking about? Guarding the henhouse?

Matt - the henhouse is owned by the cooperative. Obama wants to kill the foxes and take all the hens leaving the coop without anything....and he was just the gatekeeper, didn't own a hen at all. He wants to destroy the coop.

How so, dansu?

The Dow flirted with 11,000 today Rick. My 401k is pretty much back where it was before Bush came to office.

Matt - and that's the problem. We are almost back to where it was BEFORE Bush came to office. While he was in office my investments increased approx. 120%, unemployment averaged 5.5% etc. Obama has done nothing but completely freeze the economy with his idiotic financial moves.

Wait till you guys find out the treasury is buying stock. This is a faults market, the gains are temporary. No I am not a kook, don't believe most conspiracy theories but if you wait to move it to something safe?????

The unemployment rate was approaching 8% by the time Obama was sworn in. You can't blame him for this mess. And you can't cut taxes any more with such a large deficit. Nor can you increase spending. This is here to stay.

January 2001, the Dow Jones Industrial Average opened at 10,073.

October 5, 2007 the Dow reached 14,000.

November 9, 2007, Democrats became the majority and the market was at 13,042.

Today, the market flirted with 11,000. So, Matt L, only 2000 points more on the Dow to go, and you'll be back to where you were when the Democrats became the majority.

Seems like a very optimistic outlook. Cook, Nate Silver, CQ all predict much, much less. And even in your scenario, the Senate stays Democratic.

Midterm, but, but, but it could have been worse. As Obama would say when not behind a teleprompter, "er, uh, stutter, stutter, um, well, er, um, stutter..........". November will be sweet! I trust you, like I, have a bottle of champangne chilling for the event. Good night Nancy, later Harry, crawl back into your hole Barry, it's going to be fun watching the annointed one squirm all night!

You sound nervous, Moore. What if that doesn't come to pass? The best the Republicans can realistically hope for is a narrow loss int he Senate. It's likely the Democrats will lose the House, but not by much. And life will go on as usual and you'll find yourself feeling very unfulfilled.

Matt is right. If the polls are correct the Republicans will only win 9 seats bringing them to 50. Joe Biden can break the tie. The House is gone for the Dems. All the Republicans need is 219 seats, and even the leftwing polls Matt mentioned have them a 224. Averages at 230, and Rassmutin and other rightwings at 237. The 33 Governors seats will matter in 2012 more than 2001.

It's an expensive test.

Meg Whitman, Carly Fiorna, and Linda McMahon together have thrown away a third of a billion dollars on losing campaigns.

I'm for redistribution of wealth. I didn't think these Republicans were for it too!

Thanks guys. We enjoy your $300 million.

Matt - Were I you, I would not celebrate yet. November 3rd. will find many libs in a state of shock.

pope I drink kool-aid but your party goes strait to the Cyanide.

The Republicans will likely win the house with a narrow, ungovernable majority. No more Nancy Pelosi.

But after that, you're going to be left feeling very let down. none of the polls suggest anything more than that.

I know, I know. the only poll that matters is the one on election day. But that's what the McCain camp was saying two years ago when they honestly thought they'd win.

Elvis - I don't have a party except a couple of times a year. The house is gone and the Senate is a toss up, the liberals are dead meat; Polsi has a buzzard patrol. Obama will become impotent, thus sayeth the Pope.

No you are wrong .thus says elvis.......

I would bet you the biggest Rib Eye in Texas or are you a liberal vegan?

Que sara, sara "so let it be written, so let it be done", liberals make up 20% of the voting block, independents 35%, 44% conservatives, the demos have lost the independents. Even a lib can counts and do funny math, Polsi think food stamps help the economy.

The actually do, Pope. In the same way that tax cuts do.

Please tell me how food stamps help the economy. Who pays for those food stamps? The taxpayer - more people on food stamps just add to the deficit. Food stamps dont add more cash to this country your just redistributing the same cash from taxpayers to what the unemployed, welfare parasites.
