There you go again STRIKER47, blaming Barney Frank. You just can't quit Barney can you?

You may never have read a newspaper if you actually believe Barney Frank has anything to do with the current economic catastrophe.

Go read a newspaper!

I do kind of agree with this stand of yours, not fully though: "I always vote against anyone that has served more than twice because it is time to change the person in control of the oars"

"The Bush administration shares the brunt of this mess because they were at the wheel but the dems controlled congress and had several people in very important positions who also share some of the blame"

I must lightly admonish you're re-writing of history. The Dems were not in control of Congress. This debacle is soley the responsibility of the Republican President and Congress. The Republicans had absolute power and it corrupted them.

The Democrats nearly have absolute power now (only "nearly" because many blue dog Dems will not fall in line with the Dem Congress). Let's see if they can manage to take that power and screw up the country like the Republicans did. All politicians are alike so we can count on it.

Having said all that, many Dems enabled Republicans along the way and certainly share some responsibility for this mess as well.

Fearful1, where the H do you, and people like you, get your information from???

Please provide the news source that corraborates your nonsensical claims... Oh yeah, I knew you couldn't find any. But you'll go on believing this garbage anyway.

I don't have a misguided view of conservatives. Bush and his cronies were not conservatives. Nor are the Republican leaders that currently control the party.

I do not buy in to Janine Garafalo's views. I do not listen to her or anyone else on Air America Radio, nor to right wing radio, nor Fox News. I do not need to tune in to a TV show or radio show that simply reinforce my preconceived notions about my political opposites - it's unhealthy for a democracy. That's why I read newspapers.

"Can you tell me why you think someone here would not hire a black person?" The simple indisputable truth is that Republicans are much less likely to hire a minority. Not that there aren't many liberal hypocrites out there as well. The grand majority of people on this site are, to put it very politely, way out there on the Republican right (notice I don't call them "conservative" right). Oh, I'm sure they would hire a minority if they ever met a qualified one, it's just that they've never met one that is qualified.

You are showing your true colors:

Obama's character is fine. Except for that wing nut stuff you get from Fox, talk radio and wing nut emails. If you believe that crap, then I guess Obama's character is alarming.

"Obama has lied continuosly". Okay, list the lies for me and prove that your not just a hater.

You invoke ACORN as if it's anything but a right wing scape goat. Acorn is irrelevant. Invoking the name simply serves your masters purpose to get all you sheep riled up. What a bunch of saps.

Get educated, read a newspaper.

"Maybe we won't be able to run your heroes out of DC"

I have no heroes in DC. I respect any of you who took the Republican Congress and Republican President to task for spending and legislating our economy to catastrophe these many years, and are now attempting to do the same with the Democrats. The rest of you are just uninformed sheep and haters.

Pick up a newspaper and read it.

Oh, sorry. What management positions do these black people hold?

Head housekeeper doesn't count.

I rest my case.

"And with the uneducated electorate I don't foresee and change of power in Congress in 2010. Heck they had a 9% approval rating this passed election and GAINED seats. How does this happen?"

In a poll last year, more than 50% of the people didn't know which party controlled congress. People need to turn off the TV and pick up a newspaper and get educated.

That same 50+% didn't know that Republicans controlled Congress for the 15 years between 1992 and 1997. I'll bet more than 50% of the people on this site don;t know that either.

"You can see what happens when races are very very close, take Minnesota for example."

Even when you have a close race, you have a winner and a loser. Coleman lost. Even if it goes to the supreme court, Coleman will still be the loser.

"ACORN's war chest is stocked thanks to the bailouts." Where did you get that cr@p from? What a joke! Go read a newspaper and learn something about the world. You may realize the world ain't flat after all. You actually believe this cr@p? I'm stunned.

How many of you commenting here would ever hire a black person?

I rest my case.
