I consider that a good thing about the Democrats. Republicans as they are now aren't needed. We can have a full scale discussion and all sides are represented. We have the pro gun people, the prolifers, the fiscally conservative, the liberal etc.
During the healthcare debate there was a full on debate amongst democrats without any republican help. We debated abortion, the public option, single payer, being fiscally conservative (which is why Obama wanted a budget neutral plan, cause many dem's are fiscally conservative and wouldn't vote for something that inflates the budget), etc.
Meanwhile the Republicans had to resort to making up crap like killing granny and death panels. That was the extent of their debate.
LOL, so that wasn't this cycle? what was Obama doing in sending operatives to Pa to promote Specter? You simply are too brainwashed to understand reality.
About brainwashing - It's a two way street. Yup, I can see it in the Democrats, and I see it in the Republicans too. If the other guy wins, make an excuse. If your guy wins, then say it's proof that the other party is going into the toilet. Meanwhile, there are issues that need to be seriously addressed, but are they? Of course not. Both parties are content to spew their own BS, and keep their crappy rhetoric alive, issues be damned.
TNDG: Brown was against the healthcare law too, and he can't vote Democrat fast enough these days.Candidates seeking Murtha seat shun President Obama?s policies - TheHill.com
Critz ad: 'I opposed the health care bill' - Josh Kraushaar - POLITICO.com
NOT a win for obama
critz specifically ran against the addled administration, proudly opposing health care and cap and trade
he's pro life and pro gun
critz went out of his way, in fact, to credit admiral mullen for moving dadt (which isn't moving, by the way) and NOT the put out president
he purposely did NOT invite the president in
it is what it is
congrats, i guess
Would be more than happy to discuss actual issues with anyone but cannot seem to get an Obama supporter to actually do that. It is all about ideology and symbolism over substance with Obama
It's the same with the other side too, or have you missed all the talking points about Obama being a Kenyan who stole the presidency?
There is enough to oppose Obama on without the eligibility issue. Obama's policies are the issue here. I don't know if he is eligible or not but he sure is spending a lot of money avoiding answering the questions.
My concern is his big govt, anti capitalism policies and his apologizing for the greatness of America. He has created more debt in 2 years than Reagan did in 8, has over 15 million unemployed Americans, 1.2 million discouraged workers, has taken over GM/Chrysler and the biggest issue on his plate is healthcare and cap and tax?
People have been brainwashed by this radical and that is what is scary. Attempts to divert to other issues is just that, a diversion from the harm he is doing to this country.

Yes, oppose Obama's spending policies. That is good, but where the hell were Republicans when Bush was doing the same thing? Calling those who criticized his spending anti-Americans. That's what.
Hypocrisy cuts both ways too.
A lot of Republicans opposed the Bush spending but not many who opposed it actually viewed what it was being spent on. The worst Bush deficit was 460 billion dollars and most of the debt accumulated by Bush was generated by 9/11, the cost of Hurricanes, and all that spending was supported by a Democrat Controlled Congress in 2001-02 and 2007-08.
Too many people never let actual facts get in the way of their own personal opinion. BEA.gov will show actual spending and will show that govt. revenue increased during the Bush years up to 2008. Since Obama has taken office unemployment has grown with over 15 million unemployed and govt. revenue has dropped every month.
Asked today and if honesty was a true policy most Obama supporters would have buyers remorse.
We do not elect a king and we get three equal branches of govt. Trouble is today we have two of those branches controlled by the leftwing whackos whose vision is that European socialist model, a model that is going up in flames.
That kind of reminds me of the argument "We only torture a little". :mrgreen:
This dood is a pro-life, pro-veteran, pro-2nd amendment, pro-deficit reduction.... The only thing missing is a tea party mention. :lamo
I'd have voted for him. For you DD to claim victory here is rather funny.

2. Even though both parties are unpopular, the Republicans are even less popular than the Democrats. A downturn in Democratic support has not resulted in an upturn of Republican support.
Amazing isn't it? We actually have conservative Democrats in our party. There are no more liberal Republicans, of course.
And of course, he's still more liberal than the Republican who was running in that race. (And since when are "pro-veteran" and pro-deficit reduction conservative-only issues, anyway?)
The point you guys are all avoiding is this: The GOP claimed that people would vote against all the Democrats and that the GOP would win race after race. That hasn't happened.
So either admit that the earlier prediction was wrong, or stop trying to make excuses.
Once more, poll after poll shows two things:
1. People are angry at incumbents of both parties;
2. Even though both parties are unpopular, the Republicans are even less popular than the Democrats. A downturn in Democratic support has not resulted in an upturn of Republican support.
So why are the indpendents running to the right, and just who do you think these tea partiers will be voting for (which includes a lot of independents and even former Democrats).
Your statement is completely contradicted by the events in Massachusetts, New Jersey, Virginia, Florida, etc.

And yours is completely contradicted by the events of Ny and Pa.
And the results are in..... The arguments of both sides are contradicted, but neither side is going to admit it either. LOL.

Republican candidates now hold a five-point lead over Democrats in the latest edition of the Generic Congressional Ballot, a further narrowing of the gap between the two parties to the smallest margin this year.
...
Support for Democrats held steady from last week, while support for Republicans dipped slightly.
In the third week of April, Republicans posted a 10-point lead over Democrats
