OK boys and gurls…you’re going to have to suck it up and be woman and men. The whole dang country is a disgusting stupid unrelenting frigging world full of over rated geniuses without a clue in stability or emotions of fair understanding how to get this country out of the economy pit fall we’re in which has us up to our necks as time is running out to get control of the home land and its people that live it for better or worst.
Who loves you baby?

@Steve :

You belong to the party of blame shifting.

Wow. Talk about transference! You know dang well that everything bad that has ever happened to or been done by a Republican is the fault of the Democrats.

Perhaps I will see you happy after all… in 2012.

Oh, I think you’ll see me happy long before 2012. In fact, I’m happy right just anticipating what is going to happen in about two months’ time.

Len – not gonna rehash everything that everyone else has already said in support regarding the Dems not effecting the change they promised.

But re: the award – I know what you mean. But – I just pass them on to help other bloggers get backlinks. I have seen a few where it doesn’t link all the way back to the individual who first created it. In this case though – this one does. Anyway – whether you decide to pick it up or not – just wanted to let you know that despite our differences – you still have a great thing going on over here.

I’m actually kind of surprised you didn’t try to pass it off onto Bill Clinton. Or, better yet, Jimmy Carter.

Of course you are. You belong to the party of blame shifting. In your post, you shifted the blame to Bush, so you expected me to shift it somewhere else where it didn’t belong. But I didn’t. I put it square on the appropriate shoulders, and that surprised you. It shouldn’t, but it did.

As for the other dates, by comparing the rises and falls with surrounding disasters, it all makes sense. It started a slow rise following the 9/11 disaster that eventually capped at 6.3 before coming back down to 4.4. Then, following the disaster that is our current Congress, it began another slow rise that will hopefully cap at 6.1.

I’ll be glad when the Democrats are in control of everything.

I would like to see you happy. This gives me hope. Perhaps I will see you happy after all… in 2012.

@Uriel : Good luck. I hope you're able to find somebody who stands for what you stand for.

You might not believe it, but it is true. I supported the Democrats. Then I stepped and saw that they didn’t stand for what I stood for, so I went to the Republicans. Then I stood back and saw that they too didn’t stand for what I stand for. Now I supporting the Libertarians. Hopefully they won’t surprise me too.

@Uriel :

Don’t get me wrong, Im sure the Republicans would do it too.

Actually, if you were paying attention, that is exactly what the Republicans did. And they did it to a much greater extent than the Democrats could even dream of. They would pass bills without even giving the Democrats a chance to read them, let alone debate them. Payback is hell, isn't it? Please don't give me this "party I supported" stuff. There is just a bit too much of that going around this year. Remember all those "Hillary supporters" who are now saying they are going to vote for McCain? Sorry, not buying it.

Well, I didn’t say everything, just some of the things. I agree on that point though, total change can’t be achieved in only two years. Another reason I lost hope in the Democrats was because I thought that they would work with the Republicans to get stuff done, but now it seems the opposite. They just pass stuff without debate(literally without debate, as they have a majority in house). Don’t get me wrong, Im sure the Republicans would do it too. I just expected more from the party that I supported.
