October 15, 2008 Angry Old Man
From what I read Carl Levin (D) and Susan Collins (R) tried to stop some of the craziness this past summer, but it was too little, too late. When the Democratic leadership stops marginalizing Kucinich, I may come back to the party. ...

I have been out of work since November 2007. My unemployment benefits have run out. My money has run out. I unable to obtain employment and need more time to continue my search for employment. I am at risk of losing my car. Gas prices continue to rise daily. I am highly skilled in my field. My State Rhode Island is one of the hardest hit with unemployment. I am 53 old and have worked hard all my life. I've paid taxes all my life, and this is how my country is treating me. Unbelievable. The Senate, House and President continue to play games as peoples life's are put in jeopardy. Totally disgusting. So all the extra time that I am not spending on looking for employment, I will dedicate to making sure any politician that votes nay on not extending unemployment insurance will be out of a job their next term by informing the public of their decision in every forum available. I will encourage others to do so as well. It is time in this country for the people to take control of their government again and take it out of the hands of the uninformed, out of touch, uncompassionate, ignorant, greedy, self absorbed fools that are the true terrorists ruining this country. Pass a fxxkxxg bill extending unemployment benefits or you will be out of a fxxkxxg job!!!!!!!!!
Middle class America wake up! A vote for a Republican is a vote for your own demise. Is war moral or do the Republicans just use religion to sell out the well meaning and good folks of America? Remember in November!!!!!! Vote all these bums out!!!!!!!!
I am a conservative and usualy vote Repulican. Democrats values are not generally mine. However, I do look at the issues and I can't understand why the Repulicans voted nay on cloture on Senate Bill 3268. It is interesting that Obama and McCain abstained from this vote. So did Edward Kennedy and 4 Repulicans. It's the issues that are important. The Republican party has been hijacked by RINOs.
Two Repulicans had the courage to vote yea, Collins R, MN and Snow R, ME.
Vote R or D, either way government gets in.
" It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is."

BUSH wants to bail out Wall street but the unemployed can just wait and starve!
The House, the Senate and BUSH are criminal, despicable, naive,and in very dangerous water. To ignore the unemployed and not take care of them is so shortsighted its beyond belief. More Extended benefits need to be passed now! The seven weeks is really a joke as unemployment WILL continue to rise and rise. It needs to be a total of 52 or more as it was in the past. Wake up politician's (PUBLIC SERVANT) as your day is coming, and you be joining the unemployed and learn first hand what it can feel like to be jobless. More jobs will be lost, more Banks will fail and you can only blame yourselves for letting Bush and Cheney get away with robbing the working American public who are as dumb and naive as Sarah Palin!
