People need to be reminded that Democrats took over congress in 2006, not 2008. This is ALL theirs.

Let’s call it bipartisan. Share the glory, share the blame.

I blame the looters and the moochers.
The politicians are only doing what they were sent to DC to do.
What if this time, the producers decide not to ‘bail’ them out?

One thing is certain — the Conservative Party is definitely NOT responsible.

Let’s call it bipartisan. Share the glory, share the blame.

Don't remember any calls to be "Bipartisan" with the blame the last 8 years. Not real sure there is any reason to suddenly change the accepted standards just because the Democrats now own all three branches of Government.

You’re right. When the government does something with the economy, it generally takes about 18 months for the effects to hit us.

Let’s see.........18 months before the recession hit was when the RATS took over Congress.

“Did not have an option BOTH PARTIES ARE TO BLAME”

Which is the only honest answer.

I was unable to answer the question due to that exact point. BOTH Parties are to blame!

“The bad news for the Democrats is that the number of Americans who hold the GOP exclusively responsible for the recession has been steadily falling by about two to three points per month,” said Keating Holland, CNN polling director. “At that rate, only a handful of voters will blame the economy on the Republicans by the time next year’s midterm elections roll around..”

SNICKER:-)

We need a nationwide move to “VOTE EVERYONE OUT” At every level and every state, all incumbents must go. Period.

I’ve been telling friends, etc, I won’t tell them who to vote for, just vote everyone out and put in all new politicians.
