"You know what? I'm Speaker of the House. I have a great chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. . . . We have a solid plan of messaging and mobilizing at the grassroots level and management of our campaigns. And we have a two-to-one advantage money-wise. So we feel very confident about where we are, whether that's well known to that gentleman or not." ......Its nice she is confident she and her party are prepared for reelection but I didn't see any word on what they plan to do for We the People.

Pelosi sees the writing on the wall. We do not like her behind closed door chicanery and we have written on the wall---- PELOSI--- YER --OUT.

Those who manipulate these unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country" So said Edward Bernays author of "Propaganda"
When people are led to believe, then chose to believe what they were lead to, there is no democracy, it then becomes an autocratic society with the benefits going to a select few rather that the general populace.
Both parties have led America to believe they are the right way to go, and both parties are wrong on all counts. The right way to go is for America to wake up and see "what's afoot Holmes"
To me the rhetoric is the same on both sides, the only difference between is the inflections. America open your eyes and ears see what is happening, and understand the ramifications as though your life depends on it, because it does, now more than ever, we must come together and realize the "Dream" of Martin, the "Hope " of Washington and the other Founding Fathers, and every American that stood for what they believed in. We are not perfect, we make errors, but we also fix errors, then move on. The mood in Washington is one of fear, fear of loosing position. My fear in El Paso is one of fear of loosing the United States of America. The ones who want "Transformation" AKA "Reform" want us to remain as the proverbial ostrich with the head in the sand waiting for the bad to pass. they also want you to forget the "Constitution and Declaration" because they are undeniably America at it's best, and that does not suite their purpose. They fear you, make that fear tangible to them. Wake up America see what's happening, then as a country do the right thing.

Of course they continue to be in denial, so it is a good thing we have a frowing number of polls to back it up. Let's call it the Dem Adios Tour, 2010.

The only people hiring is the US Military !
Walter, my hope is Pelose, Reid, Boxer, Waters, Frank, and more lose. I also hope Shirley Lee Jackson (Texas) loses. These people are a disgrace to America, and we are a disgrace to continue to re-elect them.

When 1 party controls all of the legislative legs, it becomes a de-facto dictatorship and ideas don't seem to be properly vetted, challenged or evaluated. President Obama should allow more input from outside of his party-at least partially to protect himself from himself. In my lifetime, neither party has been able to enjoy this type of control for more than 2 years.

August 01 2010 at 9:56 PM Report abuse Permalink -39 rate up rate down ReplyHow could we ever go back to the failed bush policies when Bush is not in office and neither are the republican congress that he had. Even if we elected all new republicans and a new republican president you could never have Bush. no 2 people will ever think or act alike.

They are in charge with the House and Senate majority and do nothing about the Illegal Immigration policy. They need to "get with the program". The US Congress, Senate and the President think WE work for them !

Do not lt FOX news cloud your thinking From day one, President Obama has reached out to the Republican leadership and their reply has been "NO" to everything, including some things that they were for before the election, such as "disclosure" so that Americans would know who were the largest contributors to the parties. They wanted a bipartisan commission on the deficit and when it was proposed to them they turned it down, voting against their own bill to form a commission, and on and o Obama held out a hand of co-operation to them and they turned down everything. During the Bush disaster, the Democrats were never made to participate in anything ad were locked out of all legislative proceedings---NO DEMOCRATS ALLOWED, and so many bills, including the MASSIVE tax cuts for the rich, were done thru RECONCILIATION
Americans will remember who said "NO" to everything except more tax breaks for the rich
Yes we will remember who said no when the people vote out the democrats .If you would have had a chance to read some of the bill not to mention the bills and pork tied to the bills you would have to say know. Of all the bill put to a vote in the senate how many had nothing at all attached just the main bill by itself?
