Democratic National Committee chairman Tim Kaine predicts that the Democrats will continue to hold majorities in both houses of Congress after the 2010 midterm elections.
—–
At a Christian Science Monitor-sponsored lunch for reporters in Washington, Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine predicted his party would retain its majority in both houses of Congress. – The Monitor Breakfast
Governor Tim Kaine was elected Chair of the Democratic National Committee on January 21, 2009.
Governor Kaine served as the 70th Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia from January 2006 until January 2010. During his tenure as Governor, Virginia was recognized as the best state for business in America (Forbes.com 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009; CNBC 2007, 2009), the top-performing state government in America (Governing Magazine, 2008) and the state where “a child is most likely to have a successful life” (Education Week, 2007). Under Governor Kaine’s leadership, Virginia had one of the highest median incomes and one of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation, even during the toughest economy since the 1930′s.
As a political leader, Governor Kaine helped Virginia Democrats regain two U.S. Senate seats, a majority of Virginia’s Congressional delegation and control of the state Senate. In addition, as the national co-chair of Obama for America, he campaigned in 15 states for the President and helped Virginia deliver its 13 electoral votes to a Democratic presidential candidate for the first time since 1964.
Prior to serving as Governor, Kaine served four terms on the Richmond City Council, including two terms as Mayor, and he was elected Lieutenant Governor of Virginia in 2001.

@bradwatson7324 …
@bradwatson7324 Right libertarians are the problem.
Sen. Gramm for instance who called sub-prime ‘the American dream in action’, his wife on the Enron board, the head of the Fed Greenspan was a personal friend and disciple of Ayn Rand.
Regan got rid of all the regulations put in place in the 30s like the banking act of 1933 which were designed to stop another crash.
Libertarians believe corps should rule Govt with no more democracy is the darned prob.
wake up
You are duped by the nastiest corps.

Yes, “Today’s Libertarians as an organization” not as individuals. I can conclusively show that the Libertarian party is using faith based and racist propaganda. The facts show my conclusion to be valid and your personal opinions do not sway the argument. The logic you fallow is tantamount to a Log Cabin Republican saying that the Republican party is pro gay rights.
It is great that you are open minded but you are aligned to a group where people who think like you are a minority.

You did not write that SOME Libertarians are are religious bigots. Your statements means that ALL Libertarians are religious bigots.
All I have to do is provide ONE example of a Libertarian who is not a religious bigot to prove your statement wrong, as well as insulting.
I am that example.
QED.
I await your apology to all atheist and non-racist Libertarians.

1 I do not care what your faith or lack thereof is.
(I do concede atheists seem to be more reasonable)
2 Just because you happen to be a reasonable Libertarian dose not mean you speak for all Libertarians.
3 As an American you have many rights, but you do not have the right to be free from having your beliefs challenged.
I used to respect the Libertarian position, but it has changed and you know it.
Care to rationally evaluate the current incarnation of Libertarianism like you do god?

Our best possible …
Our best possible outcome would not be an R majority in Congress, but a dead draw. Gridlock is our friend.
When 2/3 of the legislation passed makes us worse off, the best we can hope for is that nothing gets done.
I hope for a 50/50 tie in the House, and less of a D majority in the Senate.

@sashex I’m a Libertarian. I’m an atheist. I oppose racism.
You are wrong, and you have insulted me as well as thousands of other Libertarians.
Care to be a man and apologize?

@bradwatson7324
Hey Didlo, Libertarianism hasn’t worked since the 19th century. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but we’re not an agrarian society. We’re a complex modern society that requires thoughtful governance. If you don’t like modernity, turn off your computer and go live in a cave. Tea is for drinking not for bagging.

Only a teabagger would make such an ignorant comment. Dems have been outstanding in trying to govern despite Republicans stonewalling. They are not the same, only a stupid ignorant would think there are any similarities.

I do not want to be offensive but, I have to be offense.
Hell no, keep your tea bags to your self.
The original Libertarians were financially conservative and socially reasonable individuals who believed that government needed to be limited. Today’s Libertarians are an organization of faith based and raciest garbage.
The only thing you find at the roots of grass is dirt and shit.
Pardon my French
(with the exclusioner of Ron Paul that guy is what Libertarians should be.)

Democrats want control of the economy and Republicans want control of your personal life. Both want to increase government size to fulfill both of their control plans. I can count the amount of politicians with integrity on both sides on one hand. No matter who wins we lose.

Obama will crush the Rep.s with his Communist-Reign!
Either that or the Repug’s will remain the same way that they have been for quite some time, To much of a Circus to vote for.
