2010 Could Easily Be Disastrous For Democrats

Notice that none of the people in this thread wringing their hands about the poor not getting health insurance have said a single word about how it ought to be paid for. Because that just doesn't matter, does it?

The money has to be somewhere, because WE ARE TEH RICHEST COUNTRY.

Government money just appears magically.

I bury my money so the gub'mint doesn't magically take it.

[derspiess]

The whole bullshit "protestant anglo saxons give lots to charity, so it's just as good!" always make me laugh.

I'm sure derspiess gives lots and lots to charities that help the healthcare of poorer americans 

Gimme a break. You probably give 50 bucks a year to some crap pet project you care about and then proceed to feel all good about yourself.

I give half my paycheck to buy gooks toothbrushes


But seriously, I donate to Birthright International, Vietnam Veterans of America, my church, and <gasp> UNICEF.  Plus some other things that are less significant or none of your bidness.

Oh, and I regularly donate blood, for what that's worth.

Thank God for coffee cans

I gave to buy Israeli troops pizza so they could be strong and kill Zoup's Hezbollah friends.

2010 disastrous for Democrats? Heh, I figured that 2009 has already done more damage than anyone could have imagined. Certainly all of Congress is looking pretty bad anyway. What happens to our political parties when they gain a lot of seats/power? Seems they just go politically Rambo and try to jam through their most ideological wish lists, resulting in a certain amount of self destruction of the party. Republicans are practically experts at it, but I think the current crop of Dems have re-written the book, being saved, maybe, by the Blue Dog Dems.   

But even so, I don't think the Repubs are gaining that much with their own wise and sage policies and ideas.

The Dems are trying to do the things Obama campaigned on though. The public is just fickle.

Well, people wanted change, but I don't think that people were expecting that so much spending and govt expansion would be proposed or attempted. People are concerned over spending more so now.

Apparently my man Lindsey Graham has gone on record calling the health care protesters "insane."

Just don't look in my back yard, under the doghouse.

Has he come out of the closet yet?

Do you mean he's gay or that he simply has the ability see things that are as plain as day.

I would donate blood but apparently mine is poisonous.
