Voting against your own self interests is well..... dumb.<br /><br />Even if you personally disapprove of those things, the overwhelming majority of Republicans while looking the other way, use the Teabaggers as an expendable piece of the overall RNC board strategy. Once the Baggers figure out that they're being played, things will get a lot more complicated for the Repubs.Menckenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05169217990267238223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709715062681399199.post-71659614030865111002010-11-10T21:25:11.914-05:002010-11-10T21:25:11.914-05:00In regards to the midterm elections, why do Democr...In regards to the midterm elections, why do Democrats have to be such sore losers? The fact that they have to attack and insult the electorate every time they lose an election is pathetic.

Many pols have admitted to never reading the bill, and those that have can't possibly know how 2,000 pages of new mandates, laws, and regulations will affect 1/6 of our economy. Don't forget Nancy Pelosi's infamous quote regarding Obamacare: "We have to pass the bill to find out what's in it".<br /><br />And Democrats wonder why they got crushed in the Midterms?FoxNewsFan84noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709715062681399199.post-88479002918805388292010-11-10T07:50:31.262-05:002010-11-10T07:50:31.262-05:00Most conservatives don't understand, or have ...Most conservatives don't understand, or have even read the considerably shorter and completely transparent Constitution of the United States.

"</i><br /><br />Of course people knew little about them - the "transparency" promised was not forthcoming and there was no time to read the monster document before it was voted into law! Just the process of it (as well as the price tag) was enough for many voters to "express dissatisfaction with both."Elena LaVictoirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18108910015959872763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709715062681399199.post-17612290809580271242010-11-09T15:20:27.900-05:002010-11-09T15:20:27.900-05:00Goodness, Elena.

The major points were repeatedly published in newspapers, the Internet, on the cable and probably on the back of one of your utility bills.
