gerard,

Not really, most of what I see are personality contests and
clothing comparisons.

Does anyone know of a relatively objective, recent, reliable national poll or study comparing men’s and women’s stands on key questions like public education, economic welfare, health care, war and immigration?

Suppose, though, by some chance the Democrats increased their representation in the Senate?  No more filibuster excuses!  Reid would have a hissy fit.

Nothing will change. The obfuscation being rammed down the
voters throat only enhances the ‘compulsive consumer’
syndrome so that the final decision for so many ‘compulsive
voters’ who will base their vote on what the candidates say just
15 minutes before a voter leaves for the polls.

And compulsive or not, just what choice do the people have? A
hard core republican/conservative, a blue dog dimocrat which is
a republican in sheeps clothes or an actual dimorcrat/liberal?
And the only ‘difference’ is not the differences but that they are
the same no matter what the allegiances are ‘supposed’.

I mean, how different has the mummy, pelosi, been since
becoming speaker of the house. I say she has done more the
enhance and further the conservative agendas than doing A
GODDAMN thing for the people, yet the mummy will probably
leave congress when she is 156 years old and still enabling
conservative agendas.

I don’t know.  Maybe everyone will get a pleasant little surprise.

That’s not your father’s Republican Party out there any more.  If you’re old enough you’ll remember when Republicans at least tried to appear respectable.

The people of this nation seem intent upon bouncing back and forth between the reactionary/fascist Republicans and the slightly less reactionary Democrats.  Both parties are hopelessly corrupt and incompetent and intent upon reaming the middle class with a deep purple shaft.  Most Americans have no idea what’s happening to them.  Even when the time comes and they wake up in the gutter, they still won’t know what happened.

I don’t see why the Democrats should lose a lot of seats in November.  It’s true that the Democrats’ performance has been poor, but the Republicans’ recent record of negation, obstructionism, and race- and religion-baiting doesn’t seem very attractive.  I mean, what’s their program going to be after they rescind the First Amendment?
