I think it is rather sad that there may be a chance for Republicans to gain control of the house, for a party that did nothing for 8yrs except allow jobs to be lost for cheap labor abroud, and will never come back. What will happen here is the same that happened to Wal-Mart. Sam made sure everything he sold was American made, when he died everything changed to cheap off shore products. That enabled the offspring to become billionares, each worth about 17 billion. And the pay for wal-mart employees is close to sweat shop wages.

A state of anger does not permit thinking through a problem, its causes, posssible solutions, respect for others viewpoints, etc. Explosions ofthen cause irreparable damage that require expensive long time repair to a nationn's morale and optimism. gianonick

Vote for the ideas and values that will make the world a better place for you and your loved ones. 2. Vote because you are a free citizen only because of the power to vote. 3. Vote because if you do not vote you have no right to ever complain about things political or economic or social (though you undoubtedly will, anyway) 4. Vote because the world needs America to be strong now as much as at any other time in history. 5. Vote - it's a "freebie"

How does one get to vote in these? Are they voluntary? Do they call you? Are they made up out of whole cloth?

Both parties underestimate the intelligence of the masses. We are not sheep. Nor are we Homer Simpson. Latinos have a brain, Blacks have a brain, Union workers have a brain - and none of these groups are meerly a mass of sheep, all voting the same. We are a nation of INDIVIDUALS WITH A BRAIN. Please remember this all ewes rams out there. Vote YOUR conscience in November, not the herd UN-conscience the politicians want you to believe you have.

Now that Americans have rejected his radical, socialist agenda we can thank this president for his ineffectual approaches, and underhanded style. Obama's failure to listen to the voters has awakened and energized his opposition. Soon enough he can slink off to run for president of the world since that was his original plan. Perhaps he can be president of France, Greece or maybe even Venezuela or Cuba. Those countries need his arroagance if they plan to continue the "big brother" style of governing. Thanks again, Mr. President ...you defeated socialism in the US.

I don't know you, but if in an anonymous post you have to throw your race cards onto the table ...methinks thou doth protest too much. Pretty handy defense for some, I guess. Been the victim for a long time, sir? You should be ashamed of your post, but I do not see much honest appraisal on the left side of things ... Great stone throwers on that side of the spectrum.

He is way too far on the left and we should all thank him for what he has done. He has awakened an American spirit I have not seen or heard since before Viet Nam. Americans are becoming more patriotic on a daily basis. The 60s radicals have aged and will fade from the landscape shortly. As I fade with them I can rejoice in their failures. Left wing ideology is exposed.

The Democrats biggest problem is going to getting those people that are registered but never really vote out to the polls as they did in 2008. Their biggest problem will come from getting the inter city people fired up. This is the group that gave Obama is big win in 2008. The problem is that this group in most cases were the ones worst hit by this economy and this group feels in most part they were lied to. The Democrats will need a very heavy loyal party turnout since they will not carry the Republican vote they had in 2008, They have lost a majority of the independent voters and they have lost a fair amount of the Registered Democrats that do not always vote party. This election will cause many of those political annalists that try and determine the outcome by voter registration to walk off talking to themselves.

I don't doubt the nutcakes the Republicans are running this year has hurt much in that respect either.
