Can the Repubs actually win with this slate of characters?
Meg Whitman - Outsourced jobs as head of Ebay
Carly Fiorna - Outsourced jobs as head of HP
Rich Iott - Shut down a chain of grocery stores in NW Ohio

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Then you have the lunatic fringe--Sharron Angle, Rand Paul, Michele Bachmann, et al.

When this country is facing double-digit unemployment, is this the best the Republicans can run for office--people responsible for major job losses on their resumes? And preaching tax cuts for the rich at a time when these unemployed could care less about the tax rate--all they want to do is find a job that will support their families?

Is that the best the Republicans can do?

I don't know if they *will*, but anybody who thinks they *can't* is not paying attention.

the crazy rich right...the backers of the teabaggers, the main owners of Fox and most of the bankers and corporate bigshots in the country are supporting the crazies.
If things really go bad here, they can always move elsewhere...some already have.
The rich only live in the US because they can make the most money here with the least legal hassle. They have no love or even respect for this country - the very rich are the true enemies of America.

How many millions do you have stashed away for when the shit hits the fan here?
Where do you keep your passport and your private jet?

4. Here is the answer, I believe. Fla has more registered Democrats
than registered Republicans. Intensity brought
out many more Republicans to vote than Democrats.
