Democrats have the advantage all over the country thanks in a large part to Scott Walker and his failed policies.

Since his policies took effect, Wisconsin has been worst in the nation in job growth, losing jobs month over month over month.

He is now the example of what is wrong with the tea party!

Walker is an example of someone incapable of thinking, period. His interview with Al Hunt says it all.

DO NOT BE COMPLACENT JUST BECAUSE THE GOP/TP ARE ALL MORONS. Remember, 30 percent of the country are evangelicals, meaning they depend for their decision making on talks with an imaginary friend.

If they weren't evangelicals they'd be labelled schizophrenics.

Advantage Obama: Not all, but many of his policies are aimed at benefiting non-billionaires.

Advantage Romney: The billionaires can afford a trillion-dollar war chest in secret money to destabilize America in order to defeat Obama.

Don't think they'd spend a trillion? Well, they gained more than $4 trillion in the last decade, and upped their relative buying power by wrecking the economy for the rest of us.

A trillion to defeat Obama would be a bargain for them.

Listening to the right wing callers in todays Cspan Washington Journal talking about religious liberty or healthcare for women----I just felt sorry for these folks---and I have actual Bush voting teapublicans as elders in my family------

You talk about a dangerous combination for America---and that's a pro war neo conservative tea-publican evangelical-----who don't leave the house without at least 3 pt's of koch bro/pro israeli propaganda to spread thru-out the land----


The good news about them for dems is they've never changed any of their arguments even in the face of today's economic realities brought on by those previously successful points of view..
I feel for them----and wonder what's it going to take---Now their trying to convince ppl not to vote or particpate-----which I believe is the only way it gets worse.

Not a shred of fact in this post. Obama will win in a landslide this November. The only question is whether the house and Senate will swing away from the right wing nuts.

I, too, am sorry to be a Kansan. Got into a bit of a spitting contest on a tv station message board with cons who blame President Obama for everything, when one of the biggest perverters of our political system lives right here, Charles Koch. To my surprise, there were even a few who sided with my views.

Bush lost about 3 million jobs during his last year (the economy needs to create about 1.5 million a year just to break even with population growth). Two million of those were lost in the last four months of 2008.

Im sure walker has plenty of dirty tricks left in his book, but I'm not sure he needs it. From what I understand Wisconsin has become one of the most gerrymandered states in the country. POWERFUL legacy Walker is building.

Guess Scotty got the word. Republicans have pretty much given up on buying the presidency and are going to start pouring their money into the Senate and House races hoping to buy enough politicians to block the President for another two years. We are going to see a lot of creative political ads in the next few months while the spin doctors test the markets, so lets make it REALLY expensive for them. Every time you see an ad for a republican just repeat this mantra,

"All your money can't buy my country", OUT LOUD.

This magic phrase protects you from the menacing propaganda machines of the carpetbaggers.

We wouldn’t have this fight if it weren’t for the tens of millions of dollars that were spent in the recall election.”

No, we would not be having this fight if you were not an overreaching shill for the Koch Brothers and every other rich person who wants to bring slavery and pollution back to the american people.
