“Listen, it hasn’t been an easy time,” said T.J. Rooney, a former state legislator and the chairman of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party. “It’s almost like we’re a victim of our own success.

QUICK!

The irony strikes me...the dem's loss of independent voters may be the only thing the dems can't blame on Bush.

Ye of little faith. There is NOTHING the (BBC) Blame Bush Czar can't do.

Well, it seems to me that if they blame Bush for the democrats loss of independents then it'd sound like he attracted them away from the dems...something I can't imagine them wanting to admit or say. Typically, liberals insult the intelligence of anyone who differs from them, so they're more likely to call independents idiots, forgetting that they may want to try to lure them back.

Why do you think Obama and his thuggery are now talking about ‘helping small businesses’? Putting out headlines that Goldman Sachs will be giving 500 million to small businesses (such a pittance compared to the Billions they took from us) Congressional elections are coming, and they know we are going to Flip The House!.

Where would they get such an idea? Certainly not from the drive-by media.

“It’s almost like we’re a victim of our own success. When you’re governing, that changes the political dynamic.”

Success? At What? The destruction of western capitalism?
