Dems holding leads in many pivotal races

The article explains how the Democrats actually wouldn't win if the election were today. If the eletion were today, they wouldn't win the number of seats they need to get control of the House and Senate. Yet, the headline reads "Democrats holding leads in many pivotal races."

Why doesn't it read "Democrats might come up short" ? The map they have is also colored Democrat Blue, even though the Democrats aren't winning.

Is there anything in the books that can allow the president to remain in office after serving his/her two elected terms? If so, what is it and what circumstances would have to be in place to make it so?

I posed a question a few minutes ago stating that I dislike both Liberal and Conservative talk radio hosts because they are "yes" men for their perspective parties. I used Rush Limbaugh as my example and immediately many people became angry that I would call into question his character/motivations. Maybe I’m mistaken and I just don’t listen to him enough to make an educated opinion. I listen to Rush maybe one hour a week. In that time I have never heard him state something positive that he likes about democrats/liberals. Also, I have very rarely heard him criticize anything about the Republican Party. If he really felt that there was no good in having a second opposing party then he would support a single-party state government. So I guess my question is do you think Rush Limbaugh is a “yes” man for the Republican Party. If you don’t think he is, please list a few positive things he’s said about democrats…..Thanks

President Bush Has Lowest IQ of all Presidents of past 50 Years
If late night TV comedy is an indicator, then there has never been as widespread a perception that a president is not intellectually qualified for the position he holds as there is with President GW Bush.

In a report published Monday, the Lovenstein Institute of Scranton, Pennsylvania detailed its findings of a four month study of the intelligence quotient of President George W. Bush.

Since 1973, the Lovenstein Institute has published it's research to the education community on each new president, which includes the famous "IQ" report among others.

From the Military Commissions Act to the Patriot Act - we are under assault by the party that so far controls ALL 3 branchs of government. There is no stopping them unless we gain control of one or two Houses and re instate Congressional Oversight.

I get racial comments from people with brown hair and brown eyes

But real whites with blonde hair and blue eyes rarely slander blacks.

Is this a result of being raised in a Red State or what???

I consider myself a moderate and rarely vote for a politician based on what party they are with. I enjoy being an informed voter and I base my decisions entirely on platforms and personality. That being said, I listen to both Liberal and Conservative talk radio. I was just wondering if anyone else is tired of these hosts being "yes" men for their perspective parties. I think the worst may be Rush Limbaugh. Last week he was talking about how those underage pages thought this was a big joke and he described Foley as a poor victim. Who agrees or disagrees that these hosts are mostly Hippocrates that will follow party lines no matter what?

My wife teaches in an inner-city school, as she has for 20 years. This past Friday the parents and local activist held a protest outside the school because they want the tax-PAYERS to pay for THEIR children to eat a meal after school. Already 98% of the kids eat free at the school for breakfast and 100% eat free lunch paid for by the Tax PAYERS...not the Tax RECIEVERS...that' (3) meals a day they want us to pay for. Local Democrat leaders who organized this whinning party yelled through a bullhorn that republicans want to ignore the hungry children...of course nothing was mentioned about the wonderful crack-addicted parents..nothing was said about the homes of these children...nothing about 9 out 10 households are headed by a single mother..Not one word...NO one asked the simple question: WHERE are the FATHERS??..NOTHING No responsiblity..NOT one word why children at 6 years old knows about drugs and sex...MY God what has happened to PERSONAL RESPONSIBILTY<---NOTHING!!!!!!!!!

I recently was in Germany and it's obvious that the entire German Press hates America. They offer no troop help in Iraq and feel that America is a bigger terrorist that Iran. Isn't time Americans stop buying German cars and supporting a nation that has no probblem working against our interests.

1. The Democrats say only the rich got their TAXES cut..LIE...I got $600 back! I'm no where near rich but that money helped my family!

2. The bottom 50% pay NO taxes in America, the top 5% of Wage Earners already pay 55% of all Federal, State and local taxes...the 5% of make this country work...not the pinheads in Washington. Poor people (God Bless them) don't create jobs, they don't open factories, they don't hire.

Don't believe the Liberal Democrats!!!!!

Vote Republican & Conservative...keep America Strong!!!

Obviously, you vote for a local MP, but on what basis do you cast your vote?
Is it for party policies? Is it on the basis of what your local candidate does? or do you vote on the basis of what the national party/leader says and does?
Maybe you have another reason?
