#1 "You want people who don't worry about the next election."

If I was you lady...I'd start worrying.

#2 "You want people who don't worry about the next election."

Please look up "democracy" on Wikipedia.
Politicians who don't worry about the next elections are called "dictators", and that's no joke.

#10 The best way to recovery?

Remove the problem.

What's the problem?

Far too much regulation.
Far too much Credit.
Far too much tax on work.
Far too little tax on GCMs.

#11 The Democrats have never really liked elections, at least fair ones.

o Lincoln was elected -- and before he was even sworn into office, Democrats were declaring secession.

o Democrats lost the war, slaves are freed and given the vote -- so Democrats founded the KKK to terrorize anyone who votes against them. Some of the southern states had what were arguably coups against their elected, Republican governments.

o After the 2000 election, the Democrats did everything they could -- including inarguable acts of treason -- to undermine the presidency of George W. Bush. You can (justifiably) blame Bush for not defending himself and his people and policies enough, but the charges against them were lies.

I wouldn't be shocked if Obama's election loss next year was followed by Democrat strangleholds strongholds, making noises about secession.

#12 A congressman shouldn't worry about election. They are elected based on their judgement. They should continue doing what they do and not try to guess the whims of the voters and not try to do the rounds every week hoping to lie and impress the voters.

Congressional districts are small. Do your job, be held accountable. Have a town hall to get the word out to the people about what you've done and let them judge you on it.

I hope the people chuck Perdue for being a moron.

#13 Funny how the Democrats were the ones screaming Bush was gonna bring back the draft when it was Democrats that actually put together legislation to bring back the draft.

They don't get called on their nonsense enough adn unfortunately i think a lot of Americans don't know about the duality that's nearly as bad as the Palestinians two-language double-talk.

#16 Funny how the Democrats are the ones who want less democracy. Maybe they should change the name of their little party to something that would give people a better idea of what they really want.

#21 It's all right to laugh at Perdue and Orszag, but I'd keep my powder dry, and my ammo handy. Obama KNOWS he's going down, and he won't take it well. I don't know what could happen, but it very well could get nasty. VERY nasty.

#22 Since the current congress cannot even pass a budget or spend 1 dollar less on any particular program I think a real knee slapper of a joke would be to have the election next month.

#23 " I don't know what could happen, but it very well could get nasty. VERY nasty."

The President himself swore OATH to the Constitution, as many of US have. My Oath is Non-Negotiable.

#24 The Democrats think of the Constitution as an inconvenient impediment to their ruling. What Perdue said could be translated into "We might just lose control of the Senate and more seats in the House in the 2012 election."

#25 BTW, I swore my OATH also to the Officers appointed above me and my Commander in Chief. As a Civilian,
I AM OVER him.

He should "chill out" and forget his method of conquest right now. Yet his heart has been hardened. Sure method to destruction for such an idol worse-shipper is to not take advice from the Jews on THIS new year.

#26 ""We might just lose control of the Senate and more seats in the House in the 2012 election.""

They already have. A voting booth is available in a government building near you. Make it count. We have a society to guard and teach.
