Politics - 9 November 2006

Ever since the Democrats lost the majority in congress over a decade ago, they have lamented that America was broken. I don't recall the minority Repulicans saying that for the over 70 years the Democrats held the majority and often the presidency. I don't hear any great cry from Republicans today saying America is broken. Is America only broken when Democrats are in the minority?

I think they think that this is a sign that they are winning. Anyone else feel the same way?

the son or daughter of a miner or steel worker or something like that?

miners and steel workers make a LOT!!! to me when a politician makes this claim it does just the opposite and proves to me their ignorance of the real working class.

where is the politician who was raised (or who was him/herself) a single parent who worked two jobs at christmas while simultaneously battling cancer? these politicians know absolutely nothing about the real true american workers.

where is the politician who spent the first 5-10 years of his adult life scraping by a living like a rat working at a temporary agency? making $6.25 and being a pariah of society. where is the politician who worked in a **** factory.

does anyone else agree with me about this? or do you understand what im talking about?

Consider the average family income is 35,000 a year , over a 10 year period they earn 350,000 . Imagine working 10 years to earn less then 500,000 dollars . Who makes over 500,000 a year ? Besides actors ,sports ,and music stars can you think of another group that makes over 500,000 a year . Like say real estate agents who sell over 20,000,000 a year can earn this much for showing houses while construction workers who build them make 20-40 thousand a year .So building homes does not pay as well as selling them does .
50 dollars an hour would be good money right and this still only adds up to 100,000 a year. Is a sales person worth 250 dollars and hour and the people building them worth only 22.50 ?
Things are out of wack in america .It would be nice to continue selling the dream of earning big money ,but the reality is that you and your parents will be making less then 50 dollars an hour .
I think parents fail to teach kids about money or taxes and who gets paid what and why .

My wifes parents are from Ohio, and mindlessly vote Republican every time. Well, last night they were in town, and were lamenting the loss of George Allen, and the other Republican incumbents. My wife's mom actually said, "those evil Democrats." Even if I explained to them that George Allen is racist, Ney and Delay are corrupt, and Foley molests kids, it would do no good.

Most of us who are middle of the road, and are willing to vote for the best candidate of either party know that there is good and bad in every party. My question is this. How can one argue with ignorant, right-winged, "Christians" who mindlessly vote Republican every time?
