No, it will show people are unhappy with the shenanigans in congress, and that corporate money spewing hate 24/7 will influence elections. I said before, 1% of the tv ads were vote for me, and 99% were vote against him. A campaign of half truths, distortions and outright lies, delivered in sound bites 24/7, is very effective.

What are they unhappy with Obama for? The recession and the ensuing bailouts and stimulous? That was all due to Bush. The Budget deficit/natioanl debt? Bush drove them up. Remember that the 2009 budget and spending belonged to bush.

What else is making you unhappy?

Scalp the Socialist Democrats! There are no rational reasons to vote for one. Only bad excuses, designed to appeal to people who utterly refuse rational thought. Don't be one of those guys.
Please crawl back in your hole.

I agree, most of the ones who still have hair are hippies or over the age of 60.

No different than what the Dems did 4 years ago; you are correct, very effective.

Your words are the very antithesis of themselves. Those who are truly smart and urbane never need to point it out.

You're welcome.

I do not mish Bush. The only thing I miss from that era is the relative quiet from the died-in-the-wool republicans of low moral fiber, who were busy feathering their nests while they had the chance. Now they squark loudly, worried that they didn't grab enough feathers from the lesser birds. If only they could scare people into believing their guy will be best for them even though it isn't true. Oh wait, they can. Because of their low moral fiber. they have no qualms persuading the less intelligent poor that it really will be good for them to have no state support, no education and no medical insurance. Sadly their counterparts on the more humane side of the political spectrum have more integrity and their honest picture of the future just isn't as appealing. It's like offering a child the choice between Sunny Delight and a vegetable smoothie. Bad parenting.

I don't miss Bush either, but for a host of other reasons.

The Obama administration has yet to live up to it's promise, it's true.

But I do not miss Bush. I remember the Bush administration much too clearly to miss Bush.

The staging of that in Spamalot was brilliant!
