Click here to visit the new home of Politics Daily!In Missouri, Rep. Roy Blunt, the GOP Senate nominee, was a strong proponent of the financial bailout bill, which his Democratic opponent has spotlighted in TV ads. And with Rand Paul as the GOP nominee in Kentucky, Democrats believe Jack Conway has a chance of capturing retiring Sen. Jim Bunning's (R) seat. Conway has worked to characterize Paul as "too extreme" and will likely continue to do so.In Pennsylvania, the committee will spend heavily to prop up Rep. Joe Sestak, who is trailing GOP candidate Pat Toomey only slightly.
Campaign adds are just another tool to mislead VOTERS and a waste of money better spend elsewhere . Sweet promises are great only to soon they will turn sour leaving a bitter taste in everyones mouth .

The Dem's are doing it the old fashion way. "GRASS ROOTS" On your fox network last week. Even your own Tom Delay said to watch for the Dem's with their fund raising methods of going door to door, real telephone calls (no ROBO lying calls). The October blitz that the Democratic Party will do in October better include Florida and Nevada as well a the other 4 mentioned. The DNC spread it around if you want winners.

You mean when my business was thriving and the Dow went from 7k to 14k? When unemployment was low and the deficit was 1/3 what it is today? Oh, help us. Yes, we have to watch those nasty corporations and their nasty profits. Unfortunately, it takes those nasty profits to be able to offer you a job & benefits. Do you think factories & malls get built on their own, or do you think it takes some capitalist pig to put up the capital? And if you take away his investment profits with capital gains taxes, why should he invest? So, he invests in a company in, say Ireland (where taxes are only 11%), and you yell because jobs are going overseas. Or, perhaps you think our gov should borrow the money from China and build the shopping malls. What's that called? Oh yeah, communism.

Remember them well, and all the issues. Yes, there was a budget surplus for ONE year. Newt did a good job keeping the dems from over-spending. (BTW, the amt. of the surplus is pocket change in DC terms). Correction, the Bush deficit for 2008 (the highest year), was just over $400 billion - get your facts straight. Obama's 1st year was over triple that, at $1.4 trillion. Beyond that, you think corporations are going overseas because they are taxed too little? I own a business, and until I see what my tax liability will be (including Health Care costs), I'm NOT HIRING. You think I'm alone, or do you think that sentiment is repeated in thousands of places across this country? Bottom line, we are afraid of the dems spending, tax policies, mandates, and energy policies - you would be too.

Those who forget the Bush years certainly have short memories. 4 or 8 more years of the same HORROR will completely destroy this country with big business taking over completely, our Social Security and Medicare will be gone, and Wall Street and the big banks dictating what regulations will be (just about none) and the rich getting another TRILLION dollar tax cut Keep slamming away

Housing bubble burst, oil hit 147.00 per barrel, then the crap hit the fan. people losing their homes, companies closing all over the country, banks refusing to loan money, credit card companies sticking to their customers. Just look at all the great things that happened since 2006.

All we have received from Democratic control is a completely stall economy and it will not get better as long as they control congress. We can put republicans in congress that would stop Obama and his agenda. They more favorable to business. The fact that little or nothing gets done in government may be what this country needs to get started.

The American people on the other hand are unlikely to be misled and deceived as they were in 2008. The only way Dems have any chance in 2010 and then in 2012 is to lie and play dirty as they did in 2008. VOTE IN NOVEMBER, THESE NEXT TWO GENERAL ELECTIONS WILL BE THE MOST IMPORTANT IN U.S. HISTORY. FAIL NOW, AND WE LOSE THE U.S.A. TO SOCIALISTS, LEFTISTS, PROGRESSIVES, AND THE POWER ELITE OF THE DEM PARTY.
