Right now Obama has 290 electoral votes, conservative estimate. He only needs 270. This past two weeks have shown Mittens poll numbers plummeting.

btw is Scott Walker in jail yet?
Walker's ability to destroy Wisconsin has been taken away voting Wisconsin citizens, who have recalled enough of his puppet state Republican legislature members to put it back in Democratic hands. Checks and balances - it's a good thing

If checks and balances are a good thing, then why do you call the Republican's who were elected to stop Obama from destroying this country by pushing through an agenda the American people rejected after two years obstructionists?

Not those checks and balances. The ones that stop bad politicians from ruining...

Never mind.

They are not functioning as checks and balances. They are refusing to function at all.

Your ridiculous either-or, black-white hyperbole about "Obama destroying this country" is factually beyond absurd. Wall Street is screaming with profit, GDP is up, deficit is down, unemployment is down, millions of jobs have been created, a Depression was averted, we are out of a terrible war.

Yes, there's more to do. Duh.

The Republican Party no longer exists except in name. The majority membership of that party over the past 50 years is gone, replaced by John Birchers and other extremists. It is in flux. We'll see if it survives or dies, and what emerges from the flames.

Bull. This once again proves the hypocrite you are. The real answer from you is that it is only checks and balances when they are stopping someone who is against your agenda, but that it is obstruction when they are stopping someone who is pushing your agenda.

Republican's were elected mid-term to stop Obama from pushing his agenda and they have done just that. Don't pretend that Obama has thrown things at the Repuclicans that he knew they would never go for so they can vote it down and he can call them obstructionists.

Thank you again for exposing the falsity of the liberal line.

Gee. If only I was a liberal, your bigotry would work for you.

Sure. That's exactly it

You poor, pathetic hater and fearer of "the other", I'm not even remotely close to "a liberal" in my political views. Now, run along and get your Sockpuppet to make yourself feel better.

Just to let everyone know. Walker romped in his recall election and one extra dem was put in. But since the WI house is on vacation it really didn't mean squat.

Next election their is a Dem Sen. nominee for the U.S. Senate who has never done anything but vote the line no matter how out there. Even going so far as supporting partial birth abortions. (crushing the skull of the infant prior to extricating it).

That and she's the first open lesbian in the house.

Good Luck With That!

i'm not even sure thompson will be the nominee and any of the republican's are within striking distance but i'm always surprised by how sure partisans on each side are that their side will prevail.

where does that irrational confidence come from?

Oh come now pointman. The machinations are only a good thing if they further ones agenda. If they prevent ones agenda then it is a pernicious obstruction by enemies of the state trying destroy the country.
