And is it because of the possibility of victory of such candidates, that some pundits are saying the Republicans will take over Congress? The Republican party still does not know what it wants to present to the public in order to get their vote. We have one Congressman apologizing to BP and a few other rushing to tell him to shut up. What a circus? The Dems are not without their flaws but compared to the Rs they are boyscouts. Corps and the affluent are the primary constituents of the Rs.......everyone else is unimportant. And that's what they keep showing the American public. Its imperative Dems put that together in a very coherent message that Americans can readily understand. IMO Rs need to stay out in the wilderness until their tent gets a little bigger. This love of corps is too close to fascism for my blood.

Apropo to what I was saying this AM: The Republicans are not on your side by Laurence Lewis Fri Jun 18, 2010 at 07:36:04 PM PDT The message is simple and easy, because it happens to be true. On issue after issue, the Republicans prove that they don't care about people, they only care about their corporate owners. Last week, they blocked an extension of unemployment benefits. This week, they killed it. They also ensured a pay cut to doctors who accept Medicare patients, ensuring that fewer doctors will, and that those on Medicare will have more trouble finding medical care. But while they've been busy hurting people, they've also been busy helping corporations With the BP oil gusher destroying the Gulf of Mexico, Republicans are having to pretend not to be defending BP. Meanwhile, they're criticizing President Obama for trying to protect people from BP. It's always the same. They protected the banks from financial regulation. They protected the health insurance industry from real health care reform. They killed cramdown, which would have protected homeowners from losing their homes. The list goes on and on. Issue after issue. Year after year. When have the Republicans supported legislation that helps people at the expense of corporate special interests? When have they proposed such legislation, on their own? Don't hurt yourself trying to find examples. They're rhetorical questions. dailykos.com
