That's a fucking disgusting thing to say. I wonder if his mentor in the Senate Lieberman taught him that one.

1. Because they have won most of the elections since 86
Don't you remember "The Contract with (on) America"
Most of their ideas are about wedging, framing, voter fraud (race), and lately TERRA!!!

13. ?
And the party out of power - Democrats at that time - had no ideas?

Is it necessary to comdemn the Democratic party in order to support Obama?

Pub Ideas usually focus on what they can get away with.....they are good actors but lack real solutions for the Nation...as we look all around us, we see mucho evidence....

Its been all BAD Man...all bad....

12. He made a great campaign commercial for the Republicans
That's for sure.

This thing is going to be played over and over and over again.

It is now his coat and he'll always have to wear it.
