2. I love DeFazio. He's one of the good guys.
Airc, he voted against the bailouts also. He sees the scams close up. It must be very difficult to watch what goes on in that town close up.

7. He's not real flashy and he tends to get detailed which can lose some people.
He's been my rep forever and I love the guy. He's really down to Earth and it's not uncommon to see him around Eugene, just walking someplace. He's friendly, well-read and sharp as a razor.

8. Now isn't it just so easier to be honest
although it isn't so profitable for the criminals on Wall St. & for their partners in DC.

9. De Fazio is right.
Obama agreed to continue the tax cuts without any conditions, thus creating an even larger debt to GDP ratio and then argued for cutting Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare.

What Democrat would be so ........?

No Democrat would be so ...........

16. their joke implies that Defazio was never behind Obama even when he was running, which has been a
retaliatory attack waged at people who show discontent with actions of the White House.

18. Republicans have played this same game for fifty or more years
I'm amazed people are just now catching on. They spend like there's no tomorrow when they're in office and then they start screaming about the deficit and demand cuts to social programs when they're not in office. They can't lose this way. They create the problem and then scream about it when they are out of power. WHEN will the majority of people catch on to this game?

22. A majority of people don't want the cuts and want taxes raised on the
already rich enough to live hundreds of years.

But the already Rich enough to live hundreds of years now want to have enough to live a million years, plus they own all the mass medias, Wall Street, and DC.

19. So we have a So called Democrat protecting a Republican
sacred cow..Now we are in trouble folks..Cause here we thought we were electing a Democrat...instead we got a Republican..Now if Obama would switch parties and claim his rightful place as a Republican and enter the Republican primaries,that would make this political thing pretty simple for the Democratic party going into 2012

25. Ya know what hurts worse than anything?
I keep hearing that nasally numbskull voice asking: "How's that hopey-changey thing workin' out for ya?" HowEVER stupid that Wasillan freak is, it's a legitimate question anymore.

30. Dude, I hear ya.
I don't even think about it. Or, I should say, put it out of my mind as quickly as possible. She could be a stopped clock and still fail to read the correct time at any point in the day. But I hear ya. Believe me.

27. Exactly !! PLUS we had to increase Treasury Bill interest by half a percent to cover borrowing
the $120 BILLION to cover the extended tax cuts!!

This has been a very sad three years thanks to Obama --
