There’s nothing we can do. The Democrats have the votes to do whatever they wish. And they will no matter what the polls say. Sure, you can write your Senator and Congressmen, and your letter will go right into the circular file. Sure, you can protest in DC, and it will be ignored just like hundreds of thousands were in August. Throw them out in 2010? Yeah right. Corrupt and/or incompetent politicians like Kennedy, Biden, Pelosi, Reid, Frank, Dodd, etc. get relected term after term. The weak minded, lazy, do for me crowd now outnumber the producers. We have a year or two left before taxes and inflation kick in, health insurance — mandatory now — goes up exponentially and you start having to wait weeks to see a doctor, unemployment goes above 20%, gas goes above $4. Third-world banana republic here we come.
