I speak for all Americans when I say, goodbye Democrats. Look at the mess you made now we GOP have to come and clean it up.
Most news sources are predickting that the Democrats will probably never win another election, and that 2010 is the beginning of the Republicans rule. We will rule America with fiscal conservatism and morality, fact.
Are you scared yet Democrats?
Not going to happen. The mess was here when we started and it came from the GOP, deregulation, and trickle-down.
After the elections, even Fox news says the Dems will control Congress with a 2/3rds majority. With Obama as president, will it be a cakewalk to get Hillary in the Supreme Court?
If Obama is elected, it will be a slam-dunk (and likely what Obama offered Hillary as a "bribe" to throw her support to him).
Note – You only need a simple majority of the Senate to confirm the Supreme Court appointment (and in case of a tie, the VP casts the deciding vote).
president submits a budget, BUT congress controls the purse strings.
I see you’re trying to distract us from the bang-up job the Republican Congress did from 2000 to 2006.
I just want to make the point that it’s a little unfair for all these Republicans on Y!A to suddenly start accusing the Democrats of being "sexist"…
Do you know the numbers and how that translates to percentages of the Senate and House?
How many women Members are there in the U.S. Congress today?
In the House there are 74 female Representatives. The Senate has 16 females. These are the highest numbers of women Members in the history of the Congress.
Of the 16 female Senators, 11 are Democrats and 5 are Republicans. Of the 74 female Representatives, 53 are Democrats and 21 are Republicans.
Hope its not Bombay, because ugly gorrified English boys might have been there!!!
If a person in an administration were to change parties, they would be fired on the spot. Why can’t we do something similar in Congress. They are there under a mis-representation of their party affiliation. In short they lied to the voters.
athren – Then why are there political parties? It is because they represent a PHILOSOPHY you can depend on. Only a fool votes for a person. A person can do NOTHING . It takes a party to get anything done.
We shouldn’t have to impeach them. they should have to resign within one week . then they could run again at the next election<
Bring in all new faces. Both Repub and Demon-crates need to be replaced with true blood Conservatives (Dem and Rep) to bring this country out of the hell its in. Its time to put someone in the white house who really loves the USA……
ESTABLISH TERM LIMITS!!!
For goodness sake, even the President of the United States only gets to serve two terms! I think it’s high time we all quit re-electing these same morons that can’t get the job done and find some new talent!!!
If you have a working pulse and can get the votes time and time again, yes you can be a senator for life! (heavy sarcasm intended)
The 1st one was rejected, the 2nd one passed.
What about the 2nd one did they feel was better than the 1st?
In a word, earmarks.

In stead of fighting Obama could they have done more?
They haven’t proposed any.
I wouould like congress to pass a new version of the copyright law that basicly abolisheis the DCMA and replaces it with something like the the early 1980s version of copyright, with the slight tweak that all new software or digital media must be true open source with gnu pricipals 1 and 3 enforced. (meaning use is user directed not corprate directed.) Trouble is, most media companys have loby power. How do we defeat them. I am looking for actual stratagies, not mearly sentiments.
to actually win this battle you will need to find someone who can write the law, then you will have to find a senator and a representative that will sponsor it. if that happens the usual mode of operation will be undertaken and in about two years you may actually see some kind of action. 3 to 5 years from the time the process starts you may see votes in appropriate committees and soon after votes by both houses. depending on who is in the white house at that time if it ever was passed it may well be vetoed. a lot of "wheels" to be "greased" along the way but it is POSSIBLE just without strong financial and political support highly unlikely.
