They have been doing something, and it’s been the wrong thing.

Looking to government to fix the economy is like looking to rock lyrics for the meaning of life.

Typical Democrat response - Do something.

As for myself I would say - Do Nothing, Do it consistently.

Things will undoubtedly get interesting in CA. The state is irretrievably bankrupt and there is *NO* mathematical solution.

"It's been the most significant erosion of trust that I've seen in my lifetime - in the press, financial markets and religious institutions," Democratic strategist and former White House spokesman Chris Lehane said.

The Socialist Left has been trying for DECADES to tear down our nation's institutions: academic, government, religious, and economic.

The Socialists won.

Saul Alinsky was all about tearing down institutions, not offering solutions, especially any groundswell support for a new way of doing things.

This is why 2010 will be a very ugly year:

About half the country wants Obama to disappear. He's done enough damage. Too much spending, too much meddling in major economic areas, too much weakness in foreign affairs. We want less of everything.

Another half of th ecountry wants Obama to take more control. He needs to step it up and walk over those pesky Republicans. Spend more. Regulate more. Sign more international treaties. They want more of everything.

Nullification, secession, revolution -- the wheel is in spin and it will stop on one of those three spaces.

I much prefer it when they are not in session ie doing nothing. If we could just make it permanent.

When the lawmakers refuse town halls or even vists by constituents; and when the Congress of the United States no longer cares about melting office phone lines and overflowing mailboxes; and when organizations like ACORN, SEIU, AFL-CIO, and the Apollo Alliance are dictating and drafting legislation in Washington, D.C.; then we have failed in our duties as Americans; we have failed in our duties as voters and governors of our own freedoms; and we have failed to secure a safe, open, and free society for the future.

Congratulations Liberals, Leftists, Progressives, Feminists, Homosexuals, illegal aliens, Democrats, Socialists, Marxists, and Communists. You have single-handedly destroyed the single greatest nation in the history of Earth by defrauding the American people and their open elections.

Obama must go. America cannot stand for another 3 years of this man. Show us proof as to his citizenship, show us his educational credentials, his Master’s thesis and all other applicable curricula vitae or demand a swift and immediate impeachment or get up the gall to march on DC en masse to take back this country!

It is no longer anger; it's outrage.

Get this President out of office by impeachment ASAP!

“Just do something” is exactly what got us to where we are right now.

It’s the public sector versus the private sector, those currently employed by and retirees of the public sector who refuse to take a cut in pay or benefits to make life better for those they rule over. The Masters want more and more from the servile classes. What the Masters have to maintain is the illusion that the servile classes need them to maintain the society, when in truth, it is the Masters who are expendable.

If people are truly looking to government to do something, and I suspect that is the case, the 2010 elections are not going to be the anti-RAT cakewalk that many believe they will be. In fact, the frenzy of activity the RATS will engage in to spend the remaining 2/3 of the porkulus money will go a long way toward getting people to say, "See, they're doing what government is supposed to do. We need them to continue."

town hall meetings crashed by conservatives

How can a legal constituent crash a townhall meeting? Talk about spin!

I have seen cigar store indians who showed more emotion than Arlen Specter in that picture

Another attempt to smear good people by dumb and incompetent people.

Look at Specter's clenched jaw, it's like saying, “were going to shove this legislation “up yours” whether you like it or not!!”.
