(Nov. 1) -- The American people are mad as hell, and they aren't going to take it anymore. They're tired of billion-dollar bailouts that have bankrupted the country. They are tired of Democratic politicians who are raising their taxes. They are tired of a Congress that has basically done nothing over the past two years.
Come Tuesday, these angry voters are going to shake up Washington, by voting for a Republican Party committed to reversing the failed policies of the Democratic Party. Sounds like a pretty good list of complaints, right?
There's one problem. It's simply wrong.
In reality, bank bailouts have actually turned a healthy multibillion-dollar profit. The economy has expanded over the past five quarters. And since Democrats took control of both Congress and the White House in January 2009, 95 percent of Americans have seen their tax burdens go down. Yet according to a recent Bloomberg poll, Americans (by a 2-to-1 margin) believe the exact opposite.
They are tired of a Congress that has basically done nothing...
BS. Congress has done PLENTY. Plenty of the WRONG things.
if the policies are so profitable then why is the deficit so ridiculously high?
Unemployment has DOUBLED and the cost of groceries has gone up by approximately 30%.
These people are delusional.
Someone has lost their mind. Oh its a liberal. Never had one probably.
Reality Rejection is a form of mental illness.
No......how about the Media’s misplaced bias, arrogance, and elitism.
Cohen is so smart,he thinks he has a better reason for us to be angry than our own reasons..........gosh the media is so smart.
Out of touch and they don’t have a clue.
Boy i tell you what, the pyschotherapy business is going to be booming the next few months.
Liberals believe nonsense and lie all the time as well.
This is why they have all been running around cslling everyone who dares disagree with them “enemies”, “racist”, etc.
When you write off debts against the taxpayer, then yes, profits are what you are left with.
I understand that burglary turns a healthy profit too.
You can't make this up folks...the fact that 60% of us wanted none of this crap escapes this moron!!!
Uninformed, just like the majority of Dems. Here’s a link to a really funny video...heard it on Beck this morning. Someone interviewed rally goers at Stewart’s rally on Saturday with the question: Is Obama a Keynesian?

That's one benefit of losing your job or making less money.
Doing “nothing” would have changed election day considerably - they’d still have both houses in the next Congress.
LOL. Keep telling yourself that, Michael. People are mistakenly voting Republican out of irrational anger because they are too stupid to realize all this government spending is turning a profit!!!
What about all the other government spending? Are people OK with that Michael? That’s what these liberal dopes never address and are in denial about. The people want to stop the spending insanity, period. It goes way beyond TARP.
An ideology based on lies, or on THE lie, is bound to produce faulty conclusions.
Meanwhile, everyone's share of the national debt has quadrupled.
I love it when they tell us what we are thinking.
It exposes how clueless they are.
