Democrat's Head For The Hills
Chris Dodd D-Conn., Gone!
Is it something in the Air? The ObamaCare plan? The Polls? The Economy? The 10%Unemployment Rate? Taxes? Cash For Cloture? The Stimulus Bust? Whatever it is Democrat's are running for the hills. GOOD! Chris Dodd has joined a laundry list of Democrat's that are not running for re-election, kicked out over corruption,($90,000In the Freezer William Jefferson comes to mind) kickbacks, (Sen. Ben Nelson D-Nebraska, comes to mind) and seeing the writing on the wall that their chances in 2010 dont look so good. So far we have Sen. Byron Dorgan D-North Dakota, Bowing out, And Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter D-Colorado, viewed as a rising Democratic star after a 2006 election victory that laid the groundwork for a Democratic pickup there in the 2008 presidential race, announced Wednesday that he will bow out rather than seek re-election.
The retirements underscore how sharply the political climate has turned against the majority party, which looked almost impregnable after the 2008 elections. With major initiatives such as the stimulus and the health-care overhaul unpopular, Democrats are looking increasingly vulnerable in the states that formed the basis of their new majority, particular places such as Colorado and Virginia.
Another setback came in Michigan, where the Democratic front-runner for governor, Lt. Gov. John Cherry (D), announced that he would not run after all. Mr. Cherry, strategists believe, was too closely associated with the state's unpopular Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm, who is blamed by many voters for a jobless rate that is far higher than the national average.
And so on and so on, it seems the Democrat's are not only fighting with the Republic Of America that disagree with them, but they are the wrong party at the wrong time and American's are sick of this crap!!! IT'S TIME TO TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK!!!! NOW!!!!

Marie,
Did you read the facts? Of course not. Here are the official numbers on retirements:
By the numbers:
14 House Republicans are retiring; 10 Democratic incumbents
Six Senate Republicans are retiring, 2 Democrats
In the states, 3 Democrats have opted against reelection to governorships; 4 Republicans have made the same decision
Sounds like YOU have more people leaving...or can you spin this?
Fed,
You wont even finish our little debate we had going down a few post's from this, why on earth would I want to start a new one?
You Dem's would rather quit talking about the problems and move on rather than finish what you started.
But then again left up to you people it might be a better idea if maybe you picked up your crayons and went home before you screw things up worse than they already are.
Fed,
By the way, cleaning our own house out of RINO'S is just what we need.
The more of the (Republicans In Name Only) that are gone, the better!
We need Reagan Conservatives in our party not the idiot's in our party, no spin here.
let them head to da hills faster Marie!!!
Marie, the only thing falling faster than Democrats deciding not to run are Obama's approval ratings.
The handwriting is on the wall and these who are announcing their departure now are paving the road for the mass exodus when we fire their miserable tails in November!
You guys won't have anyone left that can get elected.
You'll have Hannity, Rush, Mann Coulter and hundreds of thousands of Joe the Plumbers and Sarah Palins that are as intelligent as the fish they try to catch.
Your new Tea Party is made up of one-liners and fear rhetoric. No one has any solutions to anything.
Bush's former advisers are all backing Obama's strategy to fight extremists.
I thought we had finished the other debates because you stopped responding...?
Finish what they started? The Democrats have only had a real majority since January (filibuster proof).
Don't blame me for Bush and Company doubling the federal deficit. Damn those untax the wealthy and spend Republicans...always stickin' it to the middle class.
You have 6 Republican senators retiring. Do you know what that means? Of the 8 seats that could go either way, if you took all 8, Democrats would still hold a slim majority.
If Democrats take all 8, you are absolutely screwed. No filibuster and at that point, Lieberman will probably switch back to Democrat because if it were up to me I'd kick him off of every committee possible.
And by the way...Reagan would be lucky to be called moderate under the Fox News scope; he would be more of a Blue Dog Democrat today.
Reagan was not as conservative as you make him out to be. More spending, more unemployment, hesitant to use military force...doesn't sound like the Neoconned you're looking for, Marie.
Reagan...a Republican...now that's a good one!!! LOL !
You do know that Reagan was a Democrat in his early political career?
Angel,
You Betcha! I agree!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ken,
If they dont read the writing on the wall they aare screwed.
Mass Excodus will happen :-)
OOOOOOH, I'm ascairt of those wingnuts! Not. Seriously, where was BushCo in all that slickness? Where were the policies that made this situation unsustainable? Who crashed the economy into the tree? BushBushBushBushBush, and Ronnie Raygun loving fools who touted "free market free market free market" while their rich buddies ran their own companies into the ground, threatening to overturn the entire world economy, and it very nearly did. America Rising? More like Dawn of the Dead.
Fed,
You guys won't have anyone left that can get elected.
Yeah, but we will have cleaned house!
I thought we had finished the other debates because you stopped responding...?
You always think wrong, but what else can we expect from a Democrat?
Don't blame me for Bush and Company doubling the federal deficit. Damn those untax the wealthy and spend Republicans...always stickin' it to the middle class.
Ah Huh! I guess we should blame the Tax and Spend CONSTANTLY Democrats!
Fed,
You have 6 Republican senators retiring. Do you know what that means? Of the 8 seats that could go either way, if you took all 8, Democrats would still hold a slim majority.
Who cares? We would still clean our own house!! I guess you dont understand Conservatism!
Your new Tea Party is made up of one-liners and fear rhetoric. No one has any solutions to anything.
Yeah we do, LEAVE IT THE HELL ALONE!!!" Like when Bush 43 wanted to fix Social Security, "LEAVE IT THE HELL ALONE!!!" That's what we are saying about this stupid ass ObamaCare Bill STOP IT!!
You do know that Reagan was a Democrat in his early political career?
Um Yeah!! That was before he saw the light and switched to Republican, because he saw how not only the poor man but the working man was getting screwed by the Dems!!
Taxes,Taxes,Taxes, will kill everyone! Idiot.
Bee,
Maybe you need to quit watching spooky movies!
It's destroying what little bit of brain function you still have left!
