The propaganda wing of the right are relentless in their campaign to get the Republicans back in power so:

1. They can deregulate more --- like they did for Wall Street and the oil companies
(25 years of deregulation and lax enforcement helped get us into this mess)
the legacy of G.W. Bush

2. They can give tax cuts to the wealthy --- don't get trickled on
if you live paycheck to paycheck
(these won't contribute to the deficit -- or so say Republicans --what a bunch of hypocrites)

3. They can cut social programs like social security and medicare
(these will contribute to the deficit --- say Republicans )

4. They can support the oil, coal and nuclear industries and slow down any
meaningful development of an alternative fuels industry.
I guess the spill in the Gulf was a small set back to their plans --- spill....baby....spill....

I guess the mining disaster in which miners lost there lives was a small setback.

I guess the little problem of all the nuclear waste that has been sitting around
for 50 years and needs to be stored FOREVER is a small setback.

Americans need to support the transition to clean, sustainable,
distributed, alternative energy.

Wind, solar, geothermal and biofuels all need our support.

Our economic security and our national security demand that this be addressed”

Democrats need to speak up and not be drowned out by the spin doctors of the right.

I think the public realized how extreme the tea party is first. The others are just stodgy old poops with no ideas of their own and only know how to say "no". I don't think the DGA needs to characterize them for us.

Because of Obama's failed leadership every single seat that the democrats have are up for grabs.
The democratic party mostly because of Obama's heavy handed style of socialism will set a new record for the numbers of seats and governorships lost in the upcoming elections.
I cannot wait to see how the newly neutered Obama is going to react to the fact to being a lame duck for the last 2 yrs of his term.
I'm quite sure Barry and Michelle will take as many vacations on the taxpayers dime before he
leaves office.

You're incorrect. Just as an example, Pelosi's seat isn't "up for grabs."
