I finally found a way to articulate, via analogy, why I don’t care if the R’s take over congress in November.

Switching party control in government now is like changing crews AFTER the Titanic hit the iceberg. It may change how effective the lifeboats are used, but the ship is still going down and there are not enough lifeboats.

IOW, it’s pretty irrelevant who is in control.

I agree that if the GOP goes in "business as usual", we're probably still in trouble. But I don't agree that we are doomed; at some point the people will rise up and demand sanity in leadership.

I believe that if we rolled back the stiumlus bills, use the remaining money to pay down the deficit, reduce taxes and hand the money making over to the private sector; remove regulatory and taxation restrictions to keep and lures businesses back to the USA, we might have a really good chance at restoring our country.

The problem with obama is the old, "Lead, follow, or get out of the way"; we know he can't lead, his ego won't let him follow, and he won't get out of the way. Maybe November will be the nudge he needs.

The reason we are in trouble now is there are too many people who have just thrown up their hands and cried "uncle". The resistance that is going on now by the TPM and others is what should have happened during the clinton administration. We need a nationwide condemnation of the democrat party for what it has become...the communist party.

Remember, the Titanic sank because they were a) going to fast; b) weren't watching out for the 'bergs c) took the wrong route. Maybe those things have been our problem too.

If you try to give equality to those who already feel superior to you, you are insulting them.
