stheel4 - You may remember that the Republicans shut down the government to control the budget negotiations when Clinton was President. They failed miserably, and Clinton got what he, and America, wanted in controlling the budget: A balance overall, and lowering of deficit spending.
From Hoover until present day, each Republican administration has left us with high unemployment, a wrecked economy from deficits, and no solutions to the problems they create because they won't regulate business. Only Eisenhower fought the Republican establishment on military spending.
You need to read your US History.
Eric , since 2007 when the Dems took control of both houses , we have lost over 7 million jobs. When Clinton was in ofice , we started out with a no so great economy up until the Republicans took both houses and fixed the economy , then under Bush with Republicans running both houses , things were doing great up until the Dems took over in 2007 , now in their 4th year wreaking havoc on our once great economy. Only when the Republicans control the houses do we ever have low unemployment and plenty of jobs. So the fact is that the Republicans are the only party that does anything for the working class , and the Democrats are all about entitlements....even at the cost of collapsing the economy.

The GOP brought us failed economic policies, no resolve on Illegal immigration, Medi Care, Social Security, Health Care, Campaign Finance, and put us into almost complete non regulation of deep water drilling. Now Kyl in Arizona, along with the rest of the GOP, refuses to help move us ahead in solving a dilemma of what to do with millions of illegals living in our country. Putting re election goals ahead of running the country is just one of the numerous reasons our government is broken.

There is more oil in the USA on shore than the middle east , but the left lies about this absolute fact on a daily basis.

Although they refuse to believe it, it is true! They have probably doomed the Left to not regain control of Congress for at least a generation!
