The biggest issue that will decide the election is the amount of monies spent on campaigns. Since that political hack on the supreme court justice roberts gave unlimited spending to corporations and trampled individual rights there is to much influence on the outcome of the campaigns. Roberts has made the supreme court a subsidiary of exxon general motors blue cross and wall street. This will influence both democratic and republican candidates. Never in our democracy had individual rights been so trampled upon and congressional seats are now open to the highest bidder. It is not so bad on the amount contributed but the names are not disclosed. Another outrage is the amount of monies the candidates are spending of their own personal fortune. In ct linda mcmahon will spend over 50 million and whitman of california over 140 million. It looks like both of them will lose and I am glad. I would feel the same way if they were on the democratic side. In ct rob simmons who was going to be a senatorial candidate for the republicans could not compete with mcmahon fortune. It is to bad because he would had maded a fine opponent of richard bluementhal. Mr simmons was hard working and honest and did a good job in the house or representatives. The only beneficiary of these contributions are the tv and radio station which display the ads every break and people are sick of looking and hearing them. Lets hope in the future whether democratic or republican congress will pass a bill to disclose the names of the donors and return some sensibility to the electoral process.

I am going to vote for the lesser of two evils. Republicans are totally for the rich, they rally their base by talking about pro-life and being anti-gay. They market themselves to "issue voters". I'm disappointed in Democrats. Why did they have to act so much like republicans for the last two years? I will vote for dems because no matter how much they follow in republicans' foot steps, democrats will throw the middle class a bone every now and then.

" What Will Be The Biggest Emotion That Will Decide The Election?"

Intelligence or lack there of.

THE ACORN DOESN'T FALL FAR FROM THE TREE.

HALF THE BRONX WAS AFTER CUOMO, SR., BUT NOT A DAM WORD IS SAID ABOUT CUOMO, SR. IN CONNECTION WITH CUOMO, JR.

CUOMO, SR. RUINED NEW YORK STATE AND NOBODY EVEN MENTIONED ABOUT HIM WITH CUOMO, JR.

CUOMO, JR. IS GIVING LENIENCY OUT TO EVERYBODY CONCERNED AS ATTORNEY GENERAL.

THE FATHER WAS GIVING OUT BIDS ALL AROUND THE COUNTRY WHO KICKED BACK PAYOLLA TO CUOMO, SR., BECAUSE THE REGULAR PEOPLE WEREN'T HAPPY TO GIVE HIM PAOLLA AND THE LOCAL PEOPLE'S BIDS WERE NO GOOD. HOW COME?

MAINE, VERMONT AND NEW HAMPSHIRE--THOSE THREE STATES THAT GOT THE CONTRACTS UNDER CUOMO, SR., FOR CERTAIN STUFFF THAT WAS GOING TO PUT SO MUCH MONEY INTO CUOMO, SR.'S POCKET.

THE PEOPLE IN NEW YORK THAT PUT OUT THE BIDS, THEY MADE THE JOBS IN NEW YORK STATE, AND THOSE JOBS SHOULD HAVE STAYED HERE IN NEW YORK STATE--NOT GIVING THE CONTRACTS TO OTHER STATES, SUCH AS MAINE, VERMONT AND NEW HAMPSHIRE.

WHEN CUOMO, SR. LEFT OFFICE, PEOLE WERE GLAD TO GET RID OF HIM. AGAIN, HALF THE BRONX WAS AFTER CUOMO, SR.

p.S. To answer the question:

THE PEBBLE IN THE SHOE--PEOPLE'S EVERYDAY LIVES TO BE ABLE TO LIVE--JOBS--THEN THE POLITICIANS CAN DO WHAT THEY WANT.

I can probably sum it all up in the words of one famous Democrat. "We have to pass the bill in order to find out what is in the bill"

In other words, we don't care what we do, we don't know if what we do will be better or worse for you. We are going to do it anyway, whether you like it or not because we can, we have all the power.

I'm looking to change that attitude come November.

The utter and complete arrogance of this Democratic President and the whole of his Democratic Machine will suffice in doing therm in.

The utter and complete arrogance of this Democratic President and the whole of his Democratic Machine will suffice in doing them in.

Bill F.

Obama won in NINE Bush Red States because even the red necks realized Republicans were only for the wealthy.

Now after two years the liberals realized Obama bailed out Wall Street and Not Main Street.

Foreclosures

Jobs

Health Care

Two Wars

Torture

Spying on all Americans


Seems Obama continued much of Bush/Cheney policy.

the biggest issue will be jobs but the republicans if thay take power will turn it into a political football for the election of a republican president in 2012.They say take back america but take it back to What; the bush area of incompotence and adding 12 trillion to the deficit. Allready john boehner has told his cronies on wall street that they will defeat the health care legislation wall steet regulation and consumer card. It will be the good old days for health insurance cc to deny for pre existing conditions (last year they denied 460000) raising rates and limiting coverage. Banks will now be able to raise interest rates at will and wall street will go back to their old ways and maybe in the next 10 years will have another depression. The house will issue supoenas trying to discredit obama for 2012. They will give big tax breaks to the wealthy and no tax on corporations even though they are sitting on mountains of cash. Oh jobs they will continue outsourcing jobs to the middle ease and china and india. This will be what your are voting republican for so enjoy it when it comes true

Election 2010 to Shatter Spending Records as Republicans Benefit from Late Cash Surge / October 27, 2010 / http://tinyurl.com/23w9hx6
WASHINGTON – This year’s federal election will obliterate spending records for a midterm contest, surpassing the previous high-water mark set in 2006 by about $1 billion, the Center for Responsive Politics predicts less than a week before voters cast their ballots.

That’s enough cash to run the city of Pittsburgh for two years. Buy every resident of Topeka a nice used car. Or treat each and every American to a Big Mac and fries.

And such record-breaking spending is largely fueled by the confluence of two powerful political forces. First, dozens of competitive, often contentious congressional campaigns are being waged, providing incentive for record spending. Second, recent federal court decisions have armed corporations, unions and ideological organizations with the firepower to spend as much as they want, whenever they want on political messages saying just about anything they want, no matter how scathing or partisan.

“We knew this election could make spending history, but the rate of growth is stunning,” said Sheila Krumholz, executive director of the Center for Responsive Politics and its website, OpenSecrets.org. “This kind of money in 2010 makes the 2000 presidential election – hardly a distant memory – look like a bargain at $3.1 billion. And tens of millions of dollars of it is now coming from organizations who, by law, need not disclose their donors. It’s now more difficult than ever for voters to determine whether the outside groups flooding their television and radio airwaves with political messages are doing so for any reason other than promoting their own, narrow set of special interests.”
http://www.opensecrets.org/news/2010/10/election-2010-to-shatter-spending-r.html

That was a great article that caspian posted about the monies flowing into elections. If something is not done before the next presidential elections your candidates will be biased when elected toward legislation favoring unions corporations or some other groups that want to influence legislation. If they would only make the contributors disclose the amount and the name of the individuals involved. This is a big threat to our democracy and the trampling of individual rights.

A GOOD ACTOR ISN'T A GOOD POLITICIAN.

Emotions? Issues?

We should be in the second year of a decade-long world-wide depression, but for the Bush/Obama efforts that included TARP (mostly paid back already, with a profit for the taxpayer), stimulus spending, auto company bailouts,-and all we see from the right are cynical crocodile tears about too much spending. It's not real. The complainers aren't that ADHD that they don't know we should be in a depression but for this awful, awful spending. So why are they pretending their complaint is anything more than calculated partisanship? Do they really think the rest of us don't see through their pretense?

"Don't tread on me!" is surely the proudly expressed sentiment of Tim Profitt, while he treads on the neck of petite Lauren Valle. You know him: the stomper. You've seen him on TV, this Rand Paul thug who may have gotten his civics education from video games and their splatter-the-imaginary-monsters-or-be-imaginarily-splattered ethos and total divorcement from the reality of actual human skulls being slammed against concrete curbs. "Don't tread on me." What a sad piece of neurosis that is.
* * * * *
"Government is too big! Reduce the size of this bloated monster!" Well, except for the huge federal bureaucracy that would be needed to monitor all pregnancies to assure they result in full-term births. Oh, and the huge federal police state that would be necessary to round up 12 million alien invaders. And, too, the new bureaucracy dedicated to validating the new ID cards Muslim-Americans will have to carry in their new ghettos. And once Social Security, Medicare, the healthcare bill are all repealed, we'll need a new government agency or two or ten to deal with the obvious societal catastrophes that would result....What are some people "thinking?"
* * * * *
Locally, a couple of hang-'em-high judges are being heavily pushed as desperately-needed saviors of values,-by the right, of course, the same right that screeches that Obama is scheming to impose Sharia law on the US. The right that supposedly loathes and fears Sharia law is spending fortunes to elect instruments of American Christian fundamentalist fanaticism. Cruel fundamentalist fanaticism is just peachy fine so long as it's American and Christian. This makes sense?

Emotional issues? Boy howdy I'll say there are plenty of them this election cycle.

Bravo! MikeQ. Bravo!

A great Democrat from long ago said, “Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country” and addressing the world community he said, “Ask not what America can do for you but what together we can do for the freedom of man”. Back then the people cheered but I wonder what the response would be today?

The liberal today is not cheering. They ask what their country will do FOR them. Bail out the people, they say. Throw us a bone, they say. Redistribute some of the wealth out there to us, the less fortunate.

The conservative today is not cheering. They ask what their country will do TO them. Leave us alone, they say. Limit government and don’t take anymore of our money, they say. Less taxes, less spending, less government is what we want.

How wonderful it would be, if we were united and investing in a government we can trust, whose ultimate goal is the freedom of man. Sadly, those politicians, along with that government appear to be a thing of the past, so for now, we simply rely on each other.

"They ask what their country will do FOR them....They ask what their country will do TO them."-MG

Neat. I like it! It's a keeper.

"Obama won in NINE Bush Red States because even the red necks realized Republicans were only for the wealthy."


Obama had to maquerade himself as a middle of the road moderate to pull that off. He, as many other leftists often do lied through his teeth in order to beat McCain. Had he admitted he would be governing as a socialistic/pacifistic radical, McCain would have been sitting in the Whitehouse now with the recession over and just a bad memory. Afghanistan would have been in far better shape as well because McCain doesn't believe in telling the enemy that we would be quitting after a given date. You see Caspian, timelines are for fags, not Commander In Chiefs.

A GOOD ACTOR IS NOT A GOOD POLITICIAN.

Had he admitted he would be governing as a socialistic/pacifistic radical,

--------------------

Anyone who truly believes that nonsense has to be crazy.


A Socialist does not make the HMOs/Pharma write the legislation just like Bush and Cheney did.

Obama is the lesser of two evils but still evil.

Wall Street wins no matter who is in the White House and you and I will continue to lose.

Report: Health Industry Employing Hundreds of Ex-Gov. Officials
July 06, 2009 / http://tinyurl.com/nyx3t6
Here in the United States, the Washington Post is reporting the nation’s heath care industry has hired more than 350 former government officials and members of Congress to sway health care reform efforts on Capital Hill. According to lobbying records, three out of every four major health care companies have at least one former government insider on the payroll. Nearly half held positions under key committees and lawmakers including Senators Max Baucus and Charles Grassley. Bacaus is chair of the Senate Finance Committee which is largely steering health care reform efforts. Baucus’s aides recently held a meeting with a group of lobbyists that included two of his former chiefs of staff. The Washington Post says the health care industry is now spending $1.4 million dollars a day on lobbying, totaling $126 million dollars in the first fiscal quarter.

Why not just finally admit that "left" is not politically correct anymore, which even is a gross understatement at that? After only two years of sampling your world Caspian the masses are as mad as Hell. You've had your two minutes of fame, now get out of the way
Hopefully for good!

You've had your two minutes of fame, now get out of the way
Hopefully for good!

-------------------

I have been against Obama from day one.

He destroyed the liberal cause.

He did not pick one liberal in his cabinet.

He took Glass/Steagall off the table.

He took Single Payer ( Medicare for all ) off the table.

Obama is a liberal in name only.

He is a LINO.

RINO is on your side of the aisle.

"Obama is a liberal in name only.

He is a LINO."


This is more of traditional Caspian's face saving, who can never admit defeat. Obama and his whole Congressional road show are as far left as politicians dare to come. Whatever degree of left they may be, the public can't stomach and you want more??? Are you insane man? Get hold of yourself.

Obama is a corporate hack centrist Democrat and not liberal.

Stop believing the media hype.

Look what Obama voted for?

The Best Energy Bill Corporations Could Buy: Summary of Industry Giveaways in the 2005 Energy Bill / http://tinyurl.com/n7ofd
On August 8, 2005, President Bush signed into the law the energy bill; on July 28,the U.S. House of Representatives voted 275 to 156 to approve the energy bill; and on July 29, the U.S. Senate voted 74 to 26 to approve the energy bill.
Since 2001, energy corporations have showered federal politicians with $115 million in campaign contributions—with three-quarters of that amount going to Republicans. This cash helped secure energy companies and their lobbyists exclusive, private access to lawmakers, starting with Vice-President Dick Cheney’s Energy Task Force, whose report provided the foundation of the energy bill passed by Congress and signed by President Bush on August 8.
