		<description>Obama as Carter?   Hardly appropriate.  Carter tried to help people everywhere.  Obama is trying to kill people everywhere.   But otherwise, you are spot on!
and imagine having a senate majority leader from the mafia?   Nevada elects people that do what the casino&#039;s say, period.
At least we won&#039;t have the mormon dufus as majority leader in the future.  He hasn&#039;t a chance of winning again.  
Can&#039;t we secede yet?</description>

		<description>The extremest ponytailers, greenboy?

(You know, the gray-haired guys in ponytails and faded denim vests with scruffy peace symbols: &quot;I&#039;ve seen things, man.&quot;)</description>

		<description>Sage words Mr. Seal.  It seems like the reactionaries are starting to congeal a 3rd party, the extremist tea baggers.  Wonder if we need something similar on the left.</description>

		<description>Ooh, I think you&#039;re being a little harsh on Jimmy Carter. 

The problem is that the Republicans are comfortable governing (though entirely unsuited to the task), whilst the Democrats are terrified by the prospect of governing. Reid is a symptom of this; he should have been gone long ago. He refuses to use any of the Senate rules to his own party&#039;s advantage whilst quietly acquiescing to every GOP demand. But Obama is also a failure--he simply refuses to apply pressure when necessary and the result is drift. Now the Dems are moaning that they can&#039;t pass any major legislation! Of course they could, if they wanted to. Reconciliation...or changing the filibuster rule...would allow them to accomplish everything they &#039;want&#039;, though I&#039;m beginning to doubt they &#039;want&#039; to pass ANYTHING. And now they&#039;ve declared themselves a lame duck Congress, why would anyone bother voting for them again?

At least when you vote GOP, you can be sure they will pass their legislation--even when working with much slimmer majorities than the Dems currently enjoy. 

Frankly, both parties need to be put out to pasture.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been yelling this since July, greenboy. Obama is on his way to being a one-term President, and America can&#039;t survive another Republican in the White House.</description>

		<description>Come on greenboy...its Harry Reid.  Its time to unload the one who can&#039;t deliver.  The man sucks.  He really should step down.  All Obama legislation gets lost in the Senate.</description>
