I wonder why the mainstream media has not bothered to emphasize who has controlled congress and the senate for the last four years? The evidence does not point toward the President, but points toward a Nancy Peloski and Ted Kennedy-driven legislative majority. Is that too deep to understand? How long does the powers to be think it will take before this comes to light of itself. The history books will reflect this? Many already have enough evidence to convict.

Too bad the repugnant GOP seemed so willing to go along to get along. I don't think that this tocsin can be unrung.

Mikimoco, Republicans controlled Congress from 2003 to Jan. 3 2007. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/109th_United_States_Congress http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/108th_United_States_Congress Your argument suffers when you post inaccuracies, especially when the information is readily available.

Security? Make me laugh. I live in Dallas. Many parts of the city look just like Juarez or Seoul. Get back to me when the borders are sealed.

Republicans in the House and Senate spent like Democrats. So, the people voted for the Dems to replace the RINOs. Why have fakes when you can have the real thing.

$150 Million in one month in campaign donations ? WASHINGTON TIMES, WAKE UP AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. IS IS NOT RIGHT FOR FOREIGN COUNTRIES TO HAVE A PART IN OUR ELECTORIAL PROCESS. Americas enemies are electing our next President. Americans have become so dumbed down and our government has been watching this, yet takes no action to stop it. The New York Times: Where did Obama's money come from? By Maureen Dowd "The internet service providers (ISP) were able to trace from Saudi Arabia , Iran , and other Middle Eastern countries". One of the banks used for fund transfers was also located in Saudi Arabia . "Another concentrated group of donations was traced to a Chinese ISP with a similar pattern of limited credit card charges". "It became clear that these donations are very likely coming from sources other than American voters" For the entire article go to: http://sunspot.mercedsunstar.com/q=node 4741 So besides Obama's ACORN corrupt voter fraud now there is 'millions' pouring into this country to elect Barack Obama, yet Americans just set by and allow it to happen ? No wonder Terrorist will dance in the streets if Barack Obama is elected. They had a part in our process.....

But hey, continue as you are - you are helping destroy the GOP and making America safe for Americans.

Socialist Barack Obama's class warfare politics to redistribute the wealth by taking fron the rich and give to the poor so in a short phrase of time everyone will be very poor and that way President Obama is powerful and can control you. He is nothing but a a man running for President with a track record of Terrorists, Communists and Crooks associates and he was a flop as a Community Organiser. Also Obama was a member of The Democratic Socialists of America in 1996. the objective of this organization was, "to push forth the socialist principles of the DSA by focusing on winnable elections at a local level and spreading the Socialist movement upwards". Link:http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2008/10/021724.php From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs. - Karl Marx Barack Obama, Tell us who your friends are and we will tell you who you are. DEFEAT MARIXISM '08'

Socialist Barack Obama's class warfare politics to redistribute the wealth by taking fron the rich and give to the poor that way in a short phrase of time everyone will be very poor and President Obama is powerful and can now control you. He is nothing but a a man running for President with a track record of Terrorists, Communists and Crooks as friends and associates. Worse yet, he was a flop as a Community Organizer. Obama's first job as Community organizer was with ACORN and look what he has done with that group, they are the most corrupt organization in the Country ! Also Obama was a member of The Democratic Socialists of America in 1996. the objective of this organization was, "to push forth the socialist principles of the DSA by focusing on winnable elections at a local level and spreading the Socialist movement upwards".

McCain’s comment about ‘redistribution of wealth’ sounds like those from the 19th Century when the future 16th Amendment was being debated. We now have a constitutional amendment (16th) that allows progressive tax that taxes differentially based on how much has been earned. No longer is everyone taxed the same (head tax). Now, you pay taxes based on how much you earn. The more you earn, the higher percentage you should pay. Bush temporarily reversed this, allowing the richest Americans to pay the smallest percentage of their income in taxes, assuming that the rich would tinkle down on the peons below them. Unfortunately, the peons are not getting wet, so we need to revert back to the tax plan in effect back when Ronald Reagan was President. This has been what the US Constitution has said for almost a century!
