In reality, the Democrats are standing and delivering. They are also organizing as well. The current initiative is a 50 state takeback from corruption to remove all the corrupt people from power and replace them with non-corrupt people. Of course they hope you will elect a Democrat, but just getting the status quo of the corrupt people out of power will do as well.
On the Republican side, however, they are hiding behind the skirts of religion and attempting to make a religious political party, very similar to how Al-Quada operates. And we all know what religious fanaticism leads to - they call upon their followers to blow themselves up and die for them - just like Bush is doing to everyone in the military right now. And you have heard Bush's recent speaches where he says that there have not been enough sacrifices yet and he needs more sacrifices - you have to wonder exactly which Dark God or Old One he is trying to resurrect that requires several million lives as a sacrificial offer...

The official poverty line for one person was just $9,973 in 2005 (latest data). That wouldn't cover the custom-made men's shoes ($4,128) and Hermes purse ($6,250) on the Forbes Cost of Living Extremely Well Index. The official poverty line of $15,577 for a three-person family is lower than the cost of the Patek Philippe men's gold watch ($17,600).
The Forbes 400 minimum is up $100 million since 2005, but the federal minimum wage has been stuck at $5.15 an hour -- just $10,712 a year -- since 1997. GOP leaders in Congress have been holding a raise for minimum wage workers hostage to more giant tax cuts for wealthy inheritors.
Wealth isn't trickling down. It's flooding up -- from workers to bosses, small investors to big, poorer to richer.
The heirs to Wal-Mart founders Sam and Bud Walton have a combined $82.5 billion -- while the children of Wal-Mart workers swell the ranks of state health insurance programs for the neediest.
In today's corporate America, workers see gutted paychecks and pensions despite rising worker productivity, while CEOs get golden pay, perks, pensions and parachutes. The pay gap between average workers and CEOs has grown nine times wider since the 1970s.
The number of billionaires is a record high, but the share of national income going to wages and salaries is at a record low.
U.S. corporate profits increased 21 percent in the past year, Market Watch reported in March. "Profits have been so high because almost all of the benefits from productivity improvements are flowing to the owners of capital rather than to the workers," said Market Watch.
The wealthiest 1 percent of Americans (minimum net worth $6 million) owned 62 percent of the nation's business assets, 51 percent of stocks and 70 percent of bonds as of 2004, according to the latest data from the Federal Reserve Survey of Consumer Finances -- which excludes the Forbes 400. That's way up from 1989, when the wealthiest 1 percent owned 54 percent of business assets, 41 percent of stocks and 52 percent of bonds.
Our growing economy is not producing a growing middle class, but a richer aristocracy.
The high point for median household income -- the income of the household in the middle -- was $47,671 in 1999, adjusted for inflation. In 2005, median household income was $1,345 less at $46,326. In the same period, the Forbes 400 gained more than 100 billionaires.
Government policies are fueling rising inequality. Taxpayers with incomes above $1 million will see their after-tax income grow by about 6 percent this year thanks to tax cuts the nation can't afford

"CUT the losses and RUN away" is what it really means. That is because democrats do not see the value of the war in Iraq, and they thing that it would be better to leave now, regardless of the harm that would do to the region.

Even the fat French can run quite well. Moore can run really fast to the enemy.

There is no real difference between Repub and Democ. You want a change vote Libertarian or Green.

Because Republicans feel if they talk big, it makes up for the deficiency of their male member!
They say this is not true, they are not Dickless, they have Cheney!
