Here lies the reason we will never get beyond this broken party system. In the statement above we have grouped a state, an votng group and a forty year old issue that are all irrelevant to this election and today's metrics. We will always have our opinion on the issues. We will forever believe ours is the party of hope and change. Everyone knows what has to be done but we all know it will never happen. For what it is worth, I am not a Democrat or Republican. I did not vote Obama because he is the greatest thing since fire. The other side just never conveyed a true, consistent and believable message that stuck. Unless the GOP and Dems wake up these elections and their antics will forever be irrelevant. I bet the founding fathers never expected us to turn the elections into billion dollar freak, circus like side show.Originally posted by spiderdukes:
But the Massachusetts voters saw no phoniness in Teddy K as he championed women's issues while driving them in the water and groping them in bars all over the country. I do agree with the comments about Michael Steele though. Congrats to the winners.
Are you saying that it was the Republicans that changed our debt rating?Originally posted by NyNjSpider:
The fact that Republicans were using the debt ceiling, and its looming threat to downgrade the US's credit rating, was by far one of the most ridiculously short sided ideas from the last congress.
NYNJ, you do realize that the credit downgrade occurred after the debt ceiling was raised, right?Originally posted by NyNjSpider:

Do not mess with our credit rating. Not only does it affect the borrowing costs of the US government, but US treasuries represent the benchmark borrowing rate for things like mortgages, corporate bonds and even municipal bonds.
