Feb 16, 2010 - that combined with the fact that Obama has done for Democrats what tBush did for Republicans

Feb 16, 2010 - Greed's destroyed the very basic respect for each other in the fuckin' society... it's so upsetting...

fu3ar25 Says:

Feb 16, 2010 - why would Democrat's retire after 8 years of sitting back now they have the" majority" < :p and there retiring...doesn't make any sense

Feb 16, 2010 - Yeah, he's been wrong on a lot of things so far hasn't he. Maybe you should watch and research his topics on your own before taking Keith Olbermann's word for it. They don't report on ANYTHING specific he says, they just call him a nutjob. The NYT and Washington Post are starting to say things he said 2 years ago when he was CRAZY. Whatever, live in your little dreamland where Obama and the democrats makes you feel all warm and fuzzy while the world falls apart around you.

Feb 16, 2010 - why is it that everything in america must be motivated by money? what ever happened to doing things for the greater good or because its the right thing?

MrDustandechoes Says:

Feb 17, 2010 - Just based on all the democrats who are retiring fromt he senate, I wonder if they will retain the house through 2012? I haven't done any research just wondering.

TrollBuster9090 Says:

Feb 17, 2010 - Five Democrat and SIX Republican Senators are retiring. Of course you never hear about all the Republicans that are retiring because it doesn't fit in with the ratings-grabbing news narrative that the Democratic party is falling apart at the seams, and all the rats are leaving the sinking ship.

TrollBuster9090 Says:

Feb 17, 2010 - Yes, but false equivalence has been the propaganda weapon of choice for corporatist shills for years. Obama is the same as BushDemocrats and Republicans are equally paid for by corporations, don't vote for eitherLeft and right is a false paradigm conceived by the divide and conquer puppet mastersUygur, Olbermann and Krugman are just as much propaganda artists as Beck, Hannity and Limbaugh...

Feb 17, 2010 - Id like to let you know, i was so memorized by your comment, i had to copy and paste it. Going to read it and think about it for a while lol.

GBTRU Says:

Feb 17, 2010 - Cenk for Public option = Universal Health Care for all. A liberal program through and through.Beck, and Hannity, for no public option = Health Care costs continue to skyrocket, millions with no health care. Conservative idiotic opinion that really does shill for Insurance industry.Hmmm I guess they are really the same hey? This is one example of two completely different opinions. So trollbuster the propaganda isn't the problem it is the outcome of the argument. Cenk=Life, Beck=US Fail.

BrutusAlbion Says:

Feb 17, 2010 - The only people that should run for office or politics is someone that DOES NOT want to run for any of those positions. That person is garantueed to be independent and only focused on solving the issue as he has no agenda of his own. No desire for power and no desire to waste time lobbying or special interests. Sadly that is the paradox. Those that should be in power desire it not, those that ought not be in power desire it alot.

BrimHawk Says:

Feb 17, 2010 - The rats are fleeing the ship!

TrollBuster9090 Says:

Feb 17, 2010 - It would have worked even better if you'd been able to see the gold pocket watch I was swinging while I wrote it.

TrollBuster9090 Says:

Feb 17, 2010 - Indeed, the rats are fleeing the ship.Only thing is, the ship isn't sinking. In Bayh's case, specifically, it's only the ability to block corporate regulatory laws in the Senate while your wife rakes in two million dollars a year by sitting on the boards of a dozen of the companies that those laws would have regulated that's about to sink.Bayh's gravy boat is about to hit an iceberg. I don't blame him for jumping in the lifeboat.

Bansheeflyr Says:

Feb 17, 2010 - lol

MadBadVoodo Says:

Feb 18, 2010 - Obama SUCKS!!

micsc50 Says:

Feb 18, 2010 - Obama is at the helm and the democRAT bastards are jumping ship.

DillonX Says:

Feb 18, 2010 - Kick the CORPORATE WHORES out of Congress!

slumlord2007 Says:

Feb 18, 2010 - OR...they all know that they broke the system good and there is no fixing it. Like rats fleeing a sinking ship.

mkhomero Says:

Feb 18, 2010 - My thoughts exactly. The corporate politicians have sewn the wind and are reaping the whirlwind to their peril.

11111110 Says:

Feb 18, 2010 - For the record, six Senate Republicans are retiring. And now with Bayh, only five Senate Democrats are retiring. Five is less than six. And on the House side, 14 Republicans are done, and only 10 Democrats.

playfyte Says:

Feb 26, 2010 - So does your mother. But no ones complaining about her.

xadam2dudex Says:

Apr 10, 2010 - HELL yeah.. they do it all the time.. they take money from corporations all the time..since 2006 EVERY member of congress has at least doubled their personal wealth

Apr 24, 2011 - Dorgan was one of the few who fought against the repeal of Glass-Steigal. that makes him OK in my book.
