There are Democrats against this too.<BR/><BR/>In the News on TV: Now, there are some Democrats in the House who are stating that the Democratic Leadership was "strong-arming" them into voting in favor of the Bill, when they didn't want to.<BR/><BR/>Gee...Why are they in the position they are?

It...I couldn't agree with you more on this one! It's a waste of our money for them to sit on Capital Hill nit picking every little thing each Cabinet nominee has or hasn't done in their lives. I understand full disclosure is necessary when you're a public servant but I find it odd the "scandals" are only discovered, deemed important and news worthy when there's an election or promotion of sorts on the horizon! I'm sick of all the back biting, dirt digging, finger pointing nonsense that goes on in Washington which accomplishes nothing more than lining a politician's pockets with an easy salary they're not earning while American's suffer job losses & increased debt! I know it's politics and most American's accept it as such but folks need to realize it doesn't HAVE to be this way! Why stop at changing WHO sits in the White House-how about we start working on changing HOW things are run?Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14789961117599474902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2415568920808466536.post-29599660235279718752009-02-04T19:42:00.000-05:002009-02-04T19:42:00.000-05:00let's look at this historically...when have they E...let's look at this historically...<BR/><BR/>when have they EVER lost gracefully?<BR/><BR/>Roe v.

I get so sick of hearing about how the ...Amen Jen!! I get so sick of hearing about how the Republicans are upset about "all of the pork" in the stimulus package. I don't remember any Republicans cutting the "pork" in the days when they ran everything. And now, when we really need some stimulus to save some jobs, and more importantly, rebuild our country, they whine and become the worst losers I've seen in a while. My kids are better losers than these guys. <BR/><BR/>As for Patrick's statement about Daschle, I understand where he's coming from. I mean, it did seem a bit hippocritical. And Obama did set the bar pretty high. But I've never seen the level of supposed hatred about these mistakes so high. Democrats didn't do anything like that with the last 8 years of crazies in power. They did what they could, and when it didn't go their way, they had to live with the consequences. I am constantly reminded of the Clinton years, when there was all that impeachment nonsense. I would rather have a President getting a BJ everyday then have a President who sent all those soldiers into a war that wasn't necessary, and then lie to the American people about why we were there. I think sex in the Oval Office would be preferable to killing Americans. <BR/><BR/>I want to hope that things will settle down, and Republicans will continue to voice their opinions, but accept when things don't go their way. There's a reason they lost the election.Cancer Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11387191334880541762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2415568920808466536.post-33206476367076725722009-02-04T13:42:00.000-05:002009-02-04T13:42:00.000-05:00Here, here Liberal Mom!I'm sick and tired of the w...Here, here Liberal Mom!<BR/>I'm sick and tired of the way the Republican Party would sooner cut our country's nose to spite our face than work toward compromise that will help us all!<BR/>I hate to even use his name, but Rush's comment, "I hope he fails!" is a perfect example. "Country First" my ass!<BR/>Do you think they notice how...unpleasant and angry and spiteful they always are?

He was the one talking about "Change" etc. well no change yet, just the same old corrupt BS that we can expect coming out of washington!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07281464394941261589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2415568920808466536.post-81010133724924715802009-02-04T00:42:00.000-05:002009-02-04T00:42:00.000-05:00Great open letter, Jen.
