Countdown to Election Day: Senate Races to Watch

I am so tired of parties fighting to get a seat in the senate or the house Re presentatives just to restore the rich and make the poor, destituded,yet they made Sarah Palin so rich, that she WILL run for the President of 2012. Did anyone ever find out why she really gave up the governor's seat in Alaska? I hope The Tea Party realize who they are endorsing. This is a being who looks for faults in her opponents but has broken every Human Morals in the book. Teenage Preganancy, no repect from daughter or her boyfriend(H.S. Dropout). Do they really want someone like this for their Spokeperson? Now, I know America needs a "Coffee Party."

I voted against Republicans messing with our social security, medicare, medicaid, VA benefits, finding a way to take us to another global war. I voted against the 35 tax cut for the richest of rich, in favor of common folks, I voted for health care for everyone and not for the ones who can afford it while they can keep a job. I voted for less guns in streets and for women right to choose, for women equal pay, for minimum wage, for unions who fought so hard to get work place adequately and reasonably comfortable for the labor force along with overtime pay, etc. I voted to keep the power of oil companies, banks, the Wall Street firms at check, and don't let them rape the middle class out of our hard earned money with gauging on oil prices, not paying the share of fees they have to pay the federal government to drill on federal land. I voted against wars in Iraq and Afghanistan when we have no clear goal or aim or ability to win. I voted against insurance companies deciding what drug my doctor can or cannot give me, I vote to keep America safe, I voted to keep us together and compromise for the good of all of us, and to take the nation forward. I voted against mingling church and government together or one group of religious believers trying to force their own values down my throat. It always starts with a good idea but ends with power we can't control. I voted for department of energy to remain as we need to move more and more to green energy, I voted for the department of education to remain because we need our kids highly educated and skilled to compete in ever competitive global economy against kids from other nations who currently are better educated than our kids and require 1/10 of wages our kids would need to survive. I voted for tax increases to help us pay for all the things that sets America apart from India, Egypt and China. I voted to give Mr. Obama whom we elected as our president only 24 months ago, to have enough time to deliver the change we all voted for. I voted against bigotry, religious take over of our government, anti civil right movement and I voted for America moving into 21st century the right way. Yes I am an American and I voted for America. Pure and simple, free of any hangups and any influences and FOX NEWS.

I am an American first.. Democrat or Republican mean nothing to me, but been turned off by all the hatred .. The tea party is a whole other story...I am almost ashamed at how my fellow Americans are acting during this election (and others)... Like spoiled children that need a huge time out.. Both sides carrying on about the other side losing track of the simple fact that they lose either way? No party can solve these problems..Only WE THE PEOPLE can...Not only by voting but by being UNITED instead of DIVIDED on everything... Everyone has the solution, and everyone can govern, everyone seems to think they can do a better job, and everyone knows better.. Phooey...Our system is set up so no one side can do anything without the other.. period..Our forefathers were smart enough to realize this and instill it in our laws.. And as no party will ever control everything, isn't it better if we learn to agree to disagree, and in a civil and adult manor learn to work together to solve what's wrong instead of name calling and ridicule on both sides.. Shame..... Well educated people acting like compete fools...Very Sad... How could anyone solve the Vast Magnitude of problems in 2 years is beyond me regardless of being Demo or Repub. Change takes time, well more than just a mere 2 years. Not sticking up for Obama, but he is the president and I respect that, and his time will eventually end, and I will respect the next person as well because he is our leader, regardless of Red or Blue..When you disrespect our President you spit on our nation and show a petty example of how we are as a nation... EXAMPLE, could you Grade a college student on his first 2 years for his entire tenure in college? . Why anyone would want someone to die for lack of health care is also beyond me. Would you or anyone be happy to see your neighbor die for lack of coverage? lf he cannot afford it too bad? Hurray for me and screw you>?? Should the Top 1% pay less taxes than everyone else? This is not a redistribution of wealth just an EVEN distribution of money that should have been collected in the first place without all the fancy tax loopholes. Doesn't anyone care about their fellow Americans.. Nothing is this world is perfect, and never will be.. We should not be concerned about party but about our lives, and rights and future.. Tax imports, create jobs here, create technology that would improve everyone's lives and boost our economy.. UNITED WE STAND.. A simple concept but out of the grasp of people who just seem to care about a party rather than a nation...Doesn't everyone understand that if we keep this up there will be a revolution here, people killing each other over Blue or Red...Who the hell wins then? So concerned about your children getting a germ or washing their hands, how will you feel when they cannot leave the house, if you even have a house to live in.. What the heck is wrong with everyone? Our problems are vast, and cannot be solved by either party, only a UNITED effort with agreement towards a common good for all.. This entire process is petty and our media stokes the fire even more with a sad and dismal outcome.. NO ONE WINS... Childish, if I cannot play with it no one can... Wow.. Is this what we have come to as a nation? I am ashamed...

A pretty little girl named Suzy was standing on the sidewalk in front of her home. Next to her was a basket containing a number tiny creatures; in her hand was a sign announcing FREE KITTENS. Suddenly a line of big black cars pulled up beside her. Out of the lead car stepped a tall, grinning man. Hi there, little girl, Im President Obama. What do you have in the basket? he asked. Kittens. Little Suzy said. How old are they? asked Obama. Suzy replied, Theyre so young, their eyes arent even open yet. And what kind of kittens are they? Democrats, answered Suzy with a smile. Obama was delighted. As soon as he returned to his car, he called his PR chief and told him about the little girl and the kittens. Recognizing the perfect photo op, the two men agreed that the president should return the next day, and, in front of the assembled media, have the girl talk about her discerning kittens. So the next day, Suzy was again standing on the sidewalk with her basket of FREE KITTENS when another motorcade pulled up, this time followed by vans from ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN (no FOX NEWS of course). Cameras and audio equipment were quickly set up, then Obama got out of his limo and walked over to little Suzy... Hello, again, he said, Id love it if you would tell all my friends out there what kind of kittens youre giving away. Yes sir, Suzy said. Theyre Republicans. Taken by surprise, the president stammered, But... but.... yesterday, you told me they were DEMOCRATS. Little Suzy smiled and said, I know. But today, they have their eyes open.

The USA are in trouble since we seem to fail to grasp the situation, that being that the population will double and therefore, we will need double the number of non-existent jobs within the next 20 or so years. President Obama sees this and for over two years now has been trying to get American to Wake Up and get busy doing the things that WILL provide American jobs for Americans, namely jobs of the future that should have been here now. Transportation for the replacement of the automobile and trunk industry that use oil and pollutes. Energy for generation of heat and light that currently use oil, coal, nuclear, and other polluting sources. Food for the masses that can be grown free of chemicals that poison our water, our lands, and our bodies. Medicines that are affordable to the masses and have little to no side effects. Medical services for everyone, not just the rich and the well-insured. Space travel to planets that we will some day have to populate. The resentment against President Obama and his Administration is one of the worse seen against an Elected President since that against Roosevelt and Eisenhower, both men who had the vision and pushed, dragged, and shamed this country into doing the right things that eventually proved to be the things that make America great.

NAFTA is not sending our jobs overseas.. Some of you should start looking at the various trade agreements and who created each and who voted for each, you may find that the Chinese agreements were made by R. M. Nixon, and for the most part several of the agreements were the product of the Republican Party, Oil Companies, and Businesses. Unions and middle-class workers seldom create agreements with foreign countries. Wake up America.

WOW....all I can say is people need to do their homework and some research. If people seriously think the economy and this country is doing so great, then I want their bank accounts. Umm, yeah people that are welfare are doing MUCH better, but anyone above that are not; unless you are a highly seated person in government. Even people that make a modest living are really feeling the pain. I'm what used to be called the middle class, but every day that goes by I feel like I'm sinking. taxes keep going up, charges for this and that..that goes where? to government re-distribution to pay for these darn programs. I'm just so sick of it! Cut government spending, I've had to cut WAy back on my spending. No vacations for us this year, just paying the bills; where every day increase, no eating out twice a month, I had to scrap my pennies just to visit my son stationed in Camp Lejeune! Come on people... WE THE PEOPLE. Pull the boot straps up, get some balls, and let Washington know we have had enough of increased taxes, the IRS (don't get me started on that freakin earned income credit!) more programs that use our tax dollars, etc. Let small businesses do what they do; grow and hire people and make our eceonomy grow..not penalize them for making a few bucks. OMG...I can go on and on. God bless us all, and may God watch over our military where-ever they may be...:)

If a Republican doesnt like guns, he doesnt buy one.  If a Democrat doesnt like guns, he wants all guns outlawed. If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesnt eat meat.  If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.    If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.  If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.    If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.  A Democrat wonders who is going to take care of him.    If a Republican doesnt like a talk show host, he switches channels.  Democrats demand that those they dont like be shut down.    If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesnt go to church.  A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced. If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.  A Democrat demands that the rest of us pay for his.   

ktownsmarty....EXCELLENT post and information, was well worth the time to read. Therein lies the problem. It takes a little work and time to read the information, so the Dems posting right now will pass it by. They don't like to work and learn, just spew misinformation.

I have a hard time having any respect for a president who refuses to either salute or put his hand over his heart during the national anthem, as many pictures have shown. As well as not honoring the national day of prayer at the White House, but turns around and honors the Muslim prayer event at the White House and also kneels with them. To each his own where religion is concerned. But remember this country was founded on Christian values, and by Christians. I find his actions to be a total disrespect to all Americans,Veterans,and our men and women currently serving.
