"Investing" in the failure of the United States..
It is the mantra for 2010 for the republicans.. that everything has failed under the Democrats. It is so central to what they are running on, that they have made a calculated move to try and make that come true.

Since the Democrats and the President Obama took their offices in January of this year.. there has been zero move to help the country from the other side. In fact they have done just the opposite.. they have refused to make any moves to help get us up and moving again.

As was pointed out on either Matthews of Ed last night.. even when the other side would add amendments to various bills.. they would then vote against the very amendments they added in order to stall and knee cap any movement forward.

So when we hear that the job losses which were over 700,000 fall to 11,000 as we start to climb back up, they go on an all out offensive on all their media outlets to try and discredit this so that people will become disillusioned and vote them back in.

This is an all a game of cheap psychology, and who is willing to stand up and say the truth. They figure we do not have the backbone to get back in their faces, so they lie through their teeth.

That was just one example..

But it is what they are going to do.. and will keep doing.

Every step we have made to move forward has been done by the Democrats.. from Lily Ledbetter, to the Shepard Act to stimulus,. to lending to small buisness, green job, environmental issues.. it has all been the Democrats and President Obama

So thank you Democrats of all stripes and points of view.. You have had a hard year, but a productive one.. and you had to fight an established right wing media lying the entire way.

1. I cant say that I blame them.....
... it's smart politically .... and if the GOP was in power, I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't want the Democrats to do the same.... but then again, I dont know how I'd sleep at night.

4. They're goperverts who are traitors to their country.
When the repukes had the 8 year coup..not so long ago, the Dems mostly were thinking about the bigger picture. The repubs are their own worst enemy and want everyone to be as miserable as they are.
