They WILL take the house though and gain some ground in the senate. Nice video. Pretty much sums it up. Obama, herald of change, is unfortunately just more of the same old. Disappointing. And that applies to both parties. | ||

Funny how the scales just tilt back and forth over the years... They are getting "fed" up with the democrats, but only because they can't see past what's happening to themselves - if congressional legislature does not directly affect them, they feel like nothing has changed in the past 2 years => democrats' fault. | ||

Well, can't argue with that. It's a shame representatives have been reduced to breadwinners for the state instead of just voting for what they believe in. Alaskan polls close in 3 minutes. | ||

Seriously, what are the Repub plans of getting us out of this recession? If they say tax cuts to the top 3% then they are out of touch with the way business is being conducted now. The money saved with those tax cuts will not go into the US economy, it will be invested into China, India and other emerging markets. Republicans don't really believe in improving infrastructure, so will not be able to get jobs from that. Alright! What about small businesses and getting them hiring again!? Sure, but how will they do that? Tonight was a win for big business, not the people and I want to shoot my TV every time they say it is a win for the people. | ||
