Reid Is So Screwed

[jonp]

Obama, who is now 0-3 in election endorsements, has announced that he is going to Nevada and campaign for Reid. Reid is behind every Republican challenger and his job approval numbers are in the tank.
I so hope he has a job lined up in the private sector.

NOT a chance there Jon! That piece of scum is ego-maniacal, he doesn't believe he could lose "HIS" seat!

Naw.... Old Reid boy will likely wind up in some high power position ( czar ) of something that BO makes up. That or on the BOD of some company with far left ties. In all fairness the other side of the isle is no better with this regard.

What company wouldn't want someone on the board with inside connections and some "favors" owed??? To most of them it is not about money. Hell they have all they could ever WANT. It's about POWER and CONTROL. They're hooked on it like a addict to a crack pipe.

I heard some say that the democratic candidate made the statement in Massachusetts and that was one thing that helped her lose the election. She mentioned that the democrats need to keep Ted Kennedy's seat. The republican winner made the statement that it wasn't Ted Kennedy's seat but the "people's" seat. That is one thing these people seem to have forgotten.

It was Senator Webb who said if he was up for re-election he'd ask that Obama not come into VA to campaign for him. He doesn't have to worry though, he's not up for re-election for another few years, the same year the Presidential Election will be back.

The IL GOP is celebrating. From what we are hearng Obama wants to Campaign for the WINNER of the Senate Seat Primary and the Governor race here. We are all going DO IT will make our day.

[GMAN]

The more Obama campaigns for democrats the more seats the GOP will pick up.

[ironeagle_2006]

He is the First President I have heard of being the CAUSE of DEFEAT for a Candiate. Think about it the ONLY Election that the Demoncrats won in 09 was the ONLY RACE that OBAMA STAYED AWAY FROM. We all saw what happened after Brown won Obama was trying to Blame BUSH Still.

[jonp]

Obama in a bizarre interview right after the election, said that the reason Scott won is the same reason that he won. The people were angry over the previous 8 years. He is saying that people are still so angry over Bush, a republican, that they elected a Republican. Uh....ok....One wonders when he will grow up and take responsibility for his own presidency. Blaming someone else just makes him look foolish, childish and weak. Oh yeah, he is foolish, childish and weak.

Blaming everyone else for your actions + taking no responsibility + arrogance + condescension = narcissist.

[GMAN]

Liberals are the first to place blame for their failure on others and the last to take responsibility for their actions. It is always someone else's fault. With all of our money that Obama and his liberal accomplices have spent they still want to blame Bush. It doesn't seem to matter that the democrats were in control of the houses during the last 2 years of Bush's term. They don't like to publicize that fact. People seem to forget that it is congress that controls the purse strings. It was Barney Frank and company (democrats) that created the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac fiasco. Of course, it is all still Bush's fault. I think that most American's are awakening to the truth.

I'm just going to stick with the mantra that any main party will be screwed so long as those comprising it are all predominantly from the legal field.
Shuffling papers and looking at powerpoint presentations all day means nothing for everyone else.

There are too many lawyers who hold legislative office. They seem to be there more for their own benefit than the people whom they are supposed to represent. Just looking at how they have attempted to ram this health care tax down our throat that no one wants is just one example. I would like to see something put on the national ballot which would prevent any lawyer from running for legislative office. It is a conflict of interest. We need average people who would be willing to go to Washington to represent us for a couple of terms and then go home. There should be no taxpayer funded retirement for them. Salaries should be reduced and public housing such as that offered for our military would make it much easier for them to live and not soak the taxpayers for unbelievable retirement and salaries. In fact, salaries should be set by each state. If the state from which these representatives came from actually paid them they would not be able to give themselves a raise. It would also help them to be more accountable to the taxpayers. There is corruption in both parties. Only by getting the people involved will we have any hope of change. I am not talking about the change of Obama. I am talking about going back to a constitutional government where we each take responsibility for ourselves and our families. The government would primarily be responsible for national security and protecting our borders. We should be able to reduce the size of our government by at least 2/3. Taxes would go down and productivity would go up. There are so many people who receive some benefit from the government that I am not sure this is even possible.

[Mr. Ford95]

Totally agree with that setiment Gman. My father-in-law wants to one day run for the Presidential office, he knows it's a pipe dream but one day he'd like to get on the ballot. He currently is on the School Board. Mother-in-law ran for US Senate, 2nd District of Ohio in the last election, 2006. She got stomped but it was their first foray into actually running for a big office. Father-in-law reminds me a lot of how Gman is on many issue's. There are a lot of things he would change but he realize's he's only 1 man and that the President themself can't change a lot of what they want to change. All you have to look at is Obama as a prime example, if Congress isn't willing to work with you your changes have no chance.

Something to keep in mind is that every major movement started with one man (or woman). When I grew up we studied the Bible in grammar or elementary school. One woman, Madelin O'Hara, forced our schools to take Bible out of our schools. She convinced enough of our legislators and courts that it is unconstitutional to teach the Bible or study God's word in our schools. She was an atheist. She convinced much of this country that there was a separation of Church and state in the constitution and that it would violate the constitution if it were allowed. Since that time just having a nativity scene has been considered a violation of the constitution. Some people are now afraid to say Merry Christmas. Instead they say happy holidays. This started with one individual. It changed America. And the basis was false. There is not a separation of church and state in the U.S. Constitution. However, I would wager that if you asked 10 people if there is a separation of church and state in the constitution that 9 out of 10 would say that it does exist. Since the study of our Bible has been taken out of our schools this country has steadily declined in our morals. You can't even pray or say God's name in a public school or ball game without experiencing the wrath of the government who has now decided that it is unconstitutional to acknowledge God. Never mind that this nation was founded on Christian principles with the founders coming to this new world to have freedom of religion.

The point is that one person can make a difference and change the way people look at the world and what they believe. I would urge your father in law to pursue his dream of running for public office. He might consider running for state legislator or congress, build a track record and then work his way up to the presidency. Every journey begins with one step.

Not much of a church-goer myself, but I'm never bothered by anyone wanting to pray, or praise the Lord.
I do get bothered by the militant Atheists who think I'm on their side, but then get all bent out of shape when I say, "It's just a cross, it's not gonna bite you." whenever those "hill-top crosses" come into the mix.

It has never made sense to me for people to attack those who believe in God. Those who do profess a belief in God tend to lead more righteous lives and don't go around killing and destroying lives. Nor do they go around stealing, taking or selling drugs. Even if you don't believe in God there is no reason to attack those who do. Whether you believe in God or not this country was a much better place to live when most of America professed a belief in God. We had less crime and people tended to accept responsibility for their actions. Today, that is not true. People would rather blame others for their short comings or sins than themselves.
