Political Climate for 2010 Not as Favorable to Democrats



Of course, the media will ignore historical trend as they spin this to mean that Americans are rejecting the Democrats' agenda.

1. But that is the trend....
Rejecting the agenda of the party in power.

It just so happens that this time it will be a Democratic agenda.

3. How is it "spin"?
If people vote against the party in power, they're voting against that party's agenda by definition.

6. Ever think that there could be other dynamics at work? Or do you
think every four years people vote in a party and turn on that agenda every four years?

If that's the case, how does a President get re-elected?

4. corporate Dems have succeeded at their apointed task
1) Block progress

2) Keep the money flowing to Wall St, Defense contractors, etc.

3) Turn disgust at Republicans into disgust at Democrats
