I don't care which one you support
the congressional Democrats need to stop running for president and start working their asses off--in the jobs we already elected them to do. They need to deliver a positive agenda for America over the next two years or Americans will "elect" another repuke.

This self-congratuatory circle jerk about being a presidential contender is starting to piss me off. The election of 2006 was not the end of the fight to save America and the Democratic party. It was the beginning.

1. Agreed 100%
If the Dems don't step up to the plate and start cleaning up the mess in Washington, they will be shown the door in 2008.

2. Good point...
..although I'm willing to wait until they're actually sworn in and have taken office before I expect to see some immediate action and results... with the official end of the 109th congress yesterday we move one step closer to the "new kids" stepping up...

I agree 100% also about your thoughts on presidential contenders... excellent!

:hi:

4. hillary and obama were running for president
with all their might while the previous congress was still in session.

I find it to be a turn off and I like them.

3. Yes. Yes. Yes.
K & R. Needs to be shouted over and over until the '08 handicappers get the hint.

6. It just pisses me off no end
I know how it gets during primary season, and that's fair enough. Judging from some of the recent posts here, you'd think primary season had already started.:eyes:

7. When the time comes
I hope to be supporting the incumbent president, Nancy Pelosi, in her campaign to win her first full term as president.

8.  I think it's insanity
I could care less who thinks they are going to be the next president . Obama , I did'nt even know he had a big part until now and Hillary , well give me a break . All the others can go straight to hell as far as i am concerned .

We don't need a beautiful image for a president or some tauted rock star , this is not american fool here or some fashion show .

These people in politics need to realize one very imporatn thing as well as the people who begin counting the eggs before they hatch . These people work for the american people and have a job to do and that's ALL . They are not stars to be worshipped or above the rest of the people sitting on this spinning planet .

All are nothing more than political game players who hone their craft to illude the fools who fall into this game called politics .

Go back as far as you want , say 55 years , what the hell has beem fixed that is still not a huge problem , nothing has gotten better just more has been piled onto the already existing social issues and global issues .
