		<description>No different than the Dems being pressured into backing BO in the primaries? Some being paid off some threatened with their seats etc etc etc...
That&#039;s how we got the less experienced in the White House

So true
The only difference between the Democratic Party and the Republican party is which way they screw us.</description>

		<description>Get out of line with as a &lt;strong&gt;democrat&lt;/strong&gt;, and they&#039;ll smile and offer you a cookie and a glass of Kool-Aid.  

Get out of line as a &lt;strong&gt;republican&lt;/strong&gt;, and it&#039;s a mandatory cup of &lt;strong&gt;hemlock&lt;/strong&gt;.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The only difference between the Democratic Party and the Republican party is which way they screw us.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

A significant difference may be emerging.  I just heard on FOX News (Cavuto) that there&#039;s growing support in the RNC for official retributions against the 3 republican senators who voted in favor of the stimulus package.  They would be stripped of their republican status and would receive no further support from the RNC or state republican organizations.  It is apparently irrelevant that the 3 voted in accordance with their consciences, and likely found the decision to go against their party very difficult.  Michael Steele, chairman of the RNC, has publicly stated that he is open to the idea.  

The House democrats who voted &lt;em&gt;against&lt;/em&gt; the stimulus package certainly received no such treatment from their own party.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s exactly how I feel as well. I am a registered Democrat but my party is no longer the Democratic Party. The Republican party is just as bad, except on the other extreme.

Jindal was awful. Simply awful. He told me nothing. He offered no solutions and he somehow even managed to make Barack obama look good to me, and believe me, that wasn&#039;t easy.

I will stay a Democrat so that I can vote in primaries for centrists. Other than that, I can see why the number of Independents in America is growing every day. One day, they will be bigger than these two useless parties if they continue on with this crap.

		<description>John Stewart did a funny bit on Jindall where he compared him to Mister Rogers. Right now I feel like a woman without a country (or at least a political party).</description>

		<description>and while I&#039;m at it, this is my response to my sweetie in Chicago, who has suddenly become a bit conservative.  He received a nasty forward about Bobby Jindal:

Jeff, Here is the problem with the premise of the article and the people who forward stuff like this:  The people have confused running something big and important with the American Idol-ization of public figures. The mistaken assumption that style is more important than substance.  Bobby Jindal is running an entire state, still recovering from Katrina, in the midst of the recession that has gripped the entire nation and world.  And he is doing it better than most. http://www.ksla.com/Global/story.asp?S=9906943  In fact, Louisiana currently ranks #1 in jobs created, even during this recession. He has also eliminated the legendary corruption in his state. Contrast that with Obama, who simply packed up Chicago corruption and brought it with him to D.C!  Tax cheats, lobbyists (after we were promised NONE), and rampant conflicts of interest, such as Clinton, and now, even his latest nominee for Commerce, Gary Locke. He too will be exposed for his conflicts of interest due to his lobbying for Communist China.It&#039;s painfully obvious by his first six weeks or so that this man hasn&#039;t managed so much as a pizza joint.  He is so far over head on every single big issue he is facing that it&#039;s not even funny. All the two bit dictators around the world are running their mouth, taunting him. Our standing in the international community has not improved ONE bit according to overseas polls. China is threatening to stop buying our treasuries and because of his reckless spending our bond rating is now being threated. Consider that an economic apocalypse, should it happen. He is also on the verge of destroying our currency. This is what happens when you elect someone whose only experience is running his mouth. THAT....is his talent.  Did you notice that from election day until the present, each time this guy opens his mouth, the stock market tanks?  The gang on wall street doesn&#039;t care about style points. All they study is data, data, and more data.  Wait until this economic nitwit learns of the unintended consequences of his Robin Hood mortgage plan. It&#039;s going to be ugly. It&#039;s time for the grownups in this country to put down the crackpipe. Turn off MSNBC, CNN, Fox, the big 3 networks and spend your free time reading financial papers and watching the financial channels.  Some &quot;Hope&quot; and &quot;Change&quot; eh?  Your pal had better hope he has some change left after &quot;Amateur Hour at 1600 Pennsylvania&quot; is done playing.</description>
