We need to think about CONGRESS!!! (This is where you get your hearthcare plan BTW)
I am going to say this every day until people finally understand that as of late Congressional seat elections are more important than this presidential race!!

Have a look

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_elections,_2008

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Senate_elections%2C_2008

That is right we have a chance to build congress into good Filibuster proof majorities in BOTH parts and get people like the great Al Franken in! So Congress will be almost completely different!!

Yet we spend so much time talking but Clinton this Clinton that when it is Obvious that the more important deal here is the many democrats who are working their BUTTS off to get these seats!

So whenever you can PLEASE note in other topics about how important the Congressional elections are to this process of taking back America!!


---------------

Please Rec and Bump if you feel that we need to keep the focus on CONGRESS!!!

1. K&R
I agree. Bush is not our only problem, but people seem to think once he is gone, our problem is solved.

Bush couldn't have gotten anywhere without the complicity of the US Congress. We need to elect a new Congress that respects the Constitution and human life.

2. I agree but that wont happen if we continued to be distracted by BS.
Al Franken. He ought to have an easy time beating the republican yet he is slightly behind in recent polls. Reason: In my view lack of outside support and media as everyone keeps talking about the presidential race.

Congress is Critical people!!

3. I want to bump this up again.
While some try to defend Clinton having mega millions. Democrats are fighting hard to gain additional seats in congress!

Please when you go into topics to discuss PLEASE mention the congressional situation!

5. Nope. Scotus much more important.
Scotus will affect us all in a big way over the next 20 years if it is arch-conservative. A filibuster-proof majority might only last 2 years.
