[Hot Air » Top Picks] The evolving polling on this shows the big danger for Democrats as they push big-spending agenda items through Congress.  They could do that as long as they didn’t have to worry about getting blamed for a stalled economy.  The undiminished upward trajectory in unemployment has made that impossible.  Democrats got what they wanted in the $787 billion Porkulus plan after shutting Republicans out of the picture, and they now own the results.

Frank, Maxine Watters, Chris Dodd and others all took 6 figure contributions from PACS representing the likes of Fannie and Freddie and even when 8 senate republicans addressed the committee in 2007 about arising problems, the Dems basically told them to sit down and shut up..

[COMMENTARY] HERE ARE 5 REASONS WHY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS A JOKE! - COMMENTARY -: I don't want to hear how Bush kept the country safe for all the years after 911, we need to remember that the greatest terror attack in history, happened under Bush's watch. Republicans used FEAR during the election to try to prove that President Obama was an extremist/socialist/non-American Muslim who had no experience to run the country. Now Republicans are using FEAR to shoot down health care reforms by scaring people with their propaganda concerning the issues of abortion and death panels. Republicans state that we can't afford health reform in these tough economic times.

Evil, revulsive, corrupt, incompetent, idiotic, moronic, imbecilic, seditious, traitorous, repulsive, cancerous and America hating just don't have the effect they used to have.

[BNET Blogs] Geithner's Not Going | BNET Financial Services Blog | BNET: Geithner’s problems - but also ironically the reason he was tapped by President Obama for the job - stem from actions he took before he was treasury secretary.

[Swampland] Republican-not - Swampland - TIME.com: The Democratic response was to note that (1) Bush's "sky is falling" claims about Social Security were grossly exaggerated, (2) the proposed solution would have put millions of Americans' retirement resources at risk (a pretty good call, as it turned out) for the benefit of Wall Streeters, and (3) we needed to consider alternatives like increased contributions by the upper-income folks, most of whose income is exempt. The GOP was uninterested in taxing its own, so its response to a call for alternatives became "My way or nothing." Doing nothing turned out to be the wiser alternative.
