Yes, Dodd is out. He went out a winner. He has beaten the American people.

Ried and Pelosi have and has him in their pocket, He gets a reduced interest rate from a mortgage company, He spear-headed giving executives of AIG big bonuses with our monies.

He has won, we will not get the pleasure to have voted him out of office.

really? As opposed to all the optimism and support for the president for the last 8 years? At least we put up a fight, I have seen some pretty weak responses to the criticisms. I dont think you guys even believe it anymore.....

"We are at war with terrorists"
"We won't stop until we get them"

Gee, didn't we hear this same speech about 9 years ago?

He's still has his followers marching right along, only he's singing a different tune (and it ain't "America the Beautiful")

To coin a Deval Patrick's / Pres. Obama's "original" mantra from the campaign trail: "The're just words!"

How many Democrats will be jumping ship before they are forced out? Then again, in this state we have a ballgame roster of shady reps that just never seem to get caught by our diligent and effective DA. Isn't just amazing that no matter what the offense, most of these "connected" scum still find a way to get off on a "techicality"?

We need hope and change alright,.....Hope that we will survive until we can "change" things for the better by ridding ourselves of these political and social parasites.

We need to go back to what the founding fathers intended.... Voluntary service with STRICT term limits. Then we will see how many of these turds are really looking out for our best interest and not their own!

OK, I'm done for the day... Back to work and dreams of fishing.

Remember when Hillary told us Obama couldn't handle the 3AM call when it comes. Well it seems he wouldn't even answer it. He was on vacation and a little attempted terrorist ( can we call it that?) attack on a US bound plane wasn't about to disturb his golf match....... and the Czar in charge was leaving for a ski trip.
Damn I hate when Hillary is right.

Ah yes... because Bush never spent a total of months at "his" Crawford ranch while spearheading two major wars.

It's pretty customary that Presidents leave Washington during the Christmas holiday.

Well, JD. You certainly haven't gotten intimately involved in putting any thought into this one. Instead of trying to defend the indefensible, as usual you bring up Bush. Keep on point if you can. This thread is about your guy, Obama. But, since you brought it up, try to go back and find any article about Bush not responding promptly to a crisis that occured while he was on vacation.

Maybe you'll be able to bring your "A" game when you get back from your psuedo vacation. We need you in here since Spence is too busy with the post holiday shoe sales.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Pseudo-vacation is over. Now it's a work marathon through to February.

I think I'm going to stay an unaffiliated voter for the foreseeable future.

As bad as the Democrats in Congress may be, the GOP is a bad joke at this moment. I think Michael Steele is the only one of them I actually like

You have to give both parties credit for creating jobs.

They have done a fantastic job.

And you are scratching your head and saying, "what jobs?"

I believe it is called OUT Soucing!!

Having done some work for Scott Brown in

If unhappy the best way to do something here

I believe that the majority of freshmen senators go to Washington to make change for the people. But, when they get there and they plan on voting down ear marks etc:, the seinor senator puts his hand on the freshmans shoulder and says, "Son if you do not vote for what I want, your state will get nothing." He/she falls in line like a duck, one behind the other.

Jimmy wanted to get everyone riled up. I just wanted to bring us all back together again.

It's a long winter. Plenty of time to get under each other's skin due to liberals killing babies while spending all our money and the conservatives generally just giving everyone the finger while waiting for the mid-term elections.

You can't get a job with Fox without make outlandish claims. Good for her. At least we won't see her in 2012 now.

Can't you see the irony? This is a modern-day interpretation of the classic Jimmy Stewart film Mrs. Palin Goes To Washington and tonight is the premier.
Of course in this version, Mrs. Palin takes the money. (The ending had to be updated to make it more believable.) Instead of going on to become a great stateswoman, she gets a 5mil book deal and a show on Fox. She ditches the snowmobile, the bearded husband, and the values of Real Americans. She moves to NYC, gets an apartment at Trump Towers and lives happily ever after.

....and in the best "The Family Guy" style, she ends up in bed with Bill Clinton.

Good flick, one of the best.

However, people like that left politics when the monkey second did.
