Election Issues

I am watching Fox and getting upset as usual! Why is Jason Altmire a dem? He's saying he wants to extend all Bush tax cuts permanently. He said he did not vote for Pelosi and will not vote for her in the future. The host actually told him he sounded like a rep. and he said thats how he feels. The reason Im so upset is he's in my area!

I was watching Fareed Zakaria on Sunday. There was a guy on there(rep) who said we need a war to get out of this economic downfall!

Fareed laughed and told him "I guess Iraq and Afghanistan arent enough." He said they arent enough that usually after a depression there is a war which helps to get out of depression. Again, another idiot who has never had to go to war and kill people! Why not get more of our peolpe killed and F'ed up for money! Unfortunately after waking up this morning and hearing about the Koreas he might get his wish. Already the stockmarket is down 100 plus because of the fear its causing!

It just pisses me off how willing reps are to send everyone elses children off to be killed knowing that their children will be safe!

I hate this new format. It wouldn't let me sign in with my username and password. I had to re-register with another email address and now it has me down as a newbie. Yeah, right. Anyone else have this problem? I posted a question to the administrators on the forum but they are not receiving PM's.

Despite the elected republicans yapping about how they "heard" the american people about deficit and spending - turns out they weren't really listening because that doesn't come close to being their top concern:. Funny thing, here's what the voters are most concerned with:

Cleos, read the trib page a-5, its about healthcare.

A majority of Americans want congress to keep the new healthcare law and even expand it despite rep claims that they have a mandate from the people to kill it. The post election survey(Mcclatchy Newspaper Marist Poll) showed that 51% of reg voters want to keep the law or change it to do more while 41% want tom change it to do less or even repeal it.

The survey also showed that a majority of Americans side with the dems on another hot-button issue, extending the Bush tax cuts for families making less than $250,000.00 a year only.

Dont ask rule, 47% favoring repeal, 48% opposing repeal.

I saw this information on Huffington Post.

Did you have any sign in problems? It must just be me. I PM-ed Alex but it hasn't been solved. I'm afraid to turn off my computer as I might not be able to sign back in. I had to re-register with a different email address to log in.
