Unemployment fueling Independent voters' anger

[rdean]

The independent voters are fed up with the unemployment situation in this country and have realized that if there is going to be any improvement the GOP must be put back into control. Republican and Independent voters understand that job creation flourishes during GOP control and declines greatly when the Democrats are in power. History will show this to be a fact and it makes anyone with an ounce of intelligence wonder why the Democrats have anyone in government. The mid term elections will begin the process of kicking the Democrats out as independent voters join with Republicans to clean house and rid the country of the liberals and in 2012 the Republicans will regain the White house too. Once this has been accomplished the new government will repeal all of the liberal bills passed during the Obama debacle and reinstate all of the policies and tax cuts of the George W. Bush administration. I know all patriotic Americans are looking forward to this return to prosperity and national security that has been lost in the last year and a half under Obama and his socialists in Congress.
The honor, respect, integrity and courage like that of the Bush administration will soon be back in command. The Democrats will soon be just a memory.

You are like a pair of "children's scissors". Cute, colorful, but not too sharp.

How is voting with integrity a wasted vote?

Voting for a third party candidate is the same as a congressman abstaining or voting present it says nothing other than they are afraid to make a decision.

If you have to choose between two bad candidates and a third one, how on earth is a bad choice going to be good?

Republicans haven't had a "good" candidate in 10 years and they still get votes.

I don't see how voting is a waste simply because you lose.

Hypothetically, the way a democracy should work is that it should not be a dictatorship of the majority. Therefore voting for who you support, even if that candidate loses should be very important.

The majority should restrict themselves only to a level porportional to their margin of victory.

Unfortunately, the extremely polarized politics of the past 15 years or so has resulted in dictatorships of the majority.

It's still important that people vote even when they know that their candidate will lose. Hopefully, some level wisdom will arise in our politicians and they will start to consider the views of the minority party. But if people don't vote, then the minority will not register and the majority will assume a much larger mandate than they actually have.

The BIG mistake of the Bush administration was in assuming a much larger mandate then the voting public had ever given them. They barely, and quite questionably, won the 2000 election, they controlled the senate by only a seat, they barely had a majority in the house, and the 2004 election was only a minimal majority.

They paid the price.

At the same time it is the responsibility of the minority to recognise when the majority does has a significant mandate - and not to use their scant power to obstruct everything that the majority does.

Me thinks that in the next election, the Republicans will once again pay a high price for their lack of respect for the will of the American people.

The Republican Party offers candidates to the voters that have honor and integrity and always work for the good of all Americans. History proves that there is no Republican official who hasn't done everything possible to make certain all Americans receive equal representation at all levels of government. The same cannot be said for the Democrats and the many instances of corruption throughout their history.

That's the funniest thing I've ever read.

Seriously hilarious.
