I think Democrats will hold Congress,and possibly gain a few seats...I don't believe
   
Edited on Tue Aug-24-10 03:04 AM by old mark
the "anger at government" or the "midterm election wave" of the minority party...I think these things have become internet/MSM myths that have been believed because they have been repeated again and again...

I think there is no reason - judging by the primaries so far - that we should lose anything.

IF Democrats vote, we have the power to even gain a few seats in congress...

It is all in our hands - all we have to do is do it.

Not many posts in that thread.

23. If you look at the polling numbers
   
and the trend from other midterms, it looks like a real spanking from a realistic standpoint.

but I'm sorry, it's going to be a ****ing bloodbath.

No one cares about the blame game and no one cares about the good stuff that's been passed.

With 10% unemployment, no prospect for improvement and poverty as the "new normal" the electorate will "take it out" on the incumbents, especially the ones sharing the Party ID as the administration.

Obama needs to fire the ****-ups "fixing" the economy and make some drastic improvements... and it wouldn't hurt to rework the Heath Care debate to include a Public Option.

Ride the middle of the road in the slim amount of time with a majority congress and you've failed.

People should have started to see Health Care benefits by November... an expansion of Medicare or SOMETHING.

Everything is smoke/mirrors.

Health Care Reform that isn't helping ANYONE, and won't do MUCH at all in the future.

Ending a WAR by sending the soldiers to Afghanistan and leaving 50,000 in Iraq there to... ??

Ending DADT... without really ending anything.

:lmao:

10. The Main Stream Media has been stating Democrats will lose the House since January 20, 2009
 The MSM has been indoctrinating their audiences with the 'fact' that the Democratic Party will not control the House of Representatives after the mid term elections of 2010. The MSM has been overtly engaged in influencing the outcome of the elections, and they are not even trying to hide it. Such is the state of unbiased journalism in this country today.

If the media had countered the non-stop spew from the right wing talkers such as Limbaugh and Hannity instead of repeating it, they would have noted a few glaring facts:


1. The Tea Party peaked in April and has been running down hill since
2. The voting public has an overwhelming negative opinion of Republicans
3. The Republicans have nothing to offer; they are just against anything from Democrats
4. The voters know it was the policies of Bush and his wars that wrecked the economy
5. The media does not have as much influence on voting as either Liberals or Republicans would like to think



Overall, the Republicans will make no significant gains in either the House or the Senate.

I was listening to both Dr. Walter Williams and Dr. Thomas Sowell today and thinking is sad that a competent black man was not elected instead of a lying chicago shyster communist.  
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

    and I and J and tag-along K, all on their way up the coconut tree.

    Chicka chicka boom boom! Will there be enough room? Look who's coming! L M N O P!

    And Q R S! And T U V! Still more - W! And X Y Z!

    The whole alphabet up the - Oh, no! Chicka chicka... BOOM! BOOM!

Just like the MSM influenced the outcome of the 2008 presidential election by fellating the "chosen one".

1. The Tea Party peaked in April and has been running down hill since

2. The voting public has an overwhelming negative opinion of Republicans
and an even greater distain for liberal demonrats

3. The Republicans have nothing to offer; they are just against anything from Democrats
especially since the demonrats shut the Republicans out of all policy debates.  Besides, if you were heading toward a steep cliff at 80 mph, would you want to keep the car in "D", or put it in "R"?

4. The voters know it was the policies of Bush and his wars that wrecked the economy
that started right after the dims took control of the congress
