To indiana voter:

Are you in love with Proud American? This is not eHarmony, but I guess anyway you can hookup huh? Good luck.

On a daily basis, we need to keep an eye on Wachington and write, call, email any of those bozo's who do not cooperate fully to get us out of this mess.

WRITE, CALL, EMAIL AND place phone call your senator or rep whenever you don't like their position on anything Obama & team proposes. It is my humble opinion that we need more parties and we need to elect real people not politicians to represent us. We need moms, lawyers, doctors, indian chiefs, college students, military, blue collar workers...real people who care about the USA to make the laws.

YEA OBAMA JUST LANDED IN DC – I FEEL MORE HOPEFUL ALREADY.

Mr. McConnell, exit, stage left. Stop being a crybaby.

Loaning money to the states is a great political idea but not very helpful for those states who by their constitution are not able to go into debt. Try again folks and quit trying to sound like you want to do something to help when you haven't done your homework.

So the leading Republican is coming up with ways to not waste taxpayer money and put more money in the hands of those same taxpayers by reducing their liability while the leading Democrat is badmouthing the outgoing president?

I can't wait for the next four years!

To Proud America..

You mean send the elephants to Correctional Facility? There are facilities for teenagers, perhaps we need them for our politicians. I think it's hard for them to do the right thing and they need help. I dont know, we seriously need to help develop a process to BREW decent politicians. Must America DIE a dumb death of greed and corruption?

We need to cage these elephants and only let the truly intelligent ones SPEAK.

Why aren't there restrictions on how much banks can charge customers in fees? They were given billions in bail out money yet continue to charge millions to customers in excessive fees. And we still can't get a loan.

ANOTHER CROOKED REPUBLICAN PRETENDING TO HELP THE PEOPLE! REPUBLICANS ARE ONLY FOR BIG BUSINESS AND THE RICH!!

@Jerry

Your kids will pay for this and only appropriate, since you their father voted a president in that ran 2 wars and CUT taxes so the deficit is now a 5 trillion dollar legacy and you voted for this boy wonder twice.

So yes they will pay for this one too, but at least this one they will get some benefit out of the new electrical grid, new roads and they will not fall into the river when crossing bridges.

Exactly what did they get for the cock-in-chief's 5 trillion? Oh, yeah some sewer lines in Iraq and 100 B unaccounted for to Halliburton and Black Water, according to the GAO

More "lower taxes" jibberish from a repub, that has worked out really well for middle America now hasn't it. Looks as though they have learned nothing in 8 years other than keep the tax cuts coming for all the fat cat 5% of the population.

Only the worst economic mess since the Great Depression.

Loans to the states, yeah like all the banks got for 250Billion!

Go away repubs, you have nothing to add and are increasingly irrelevant!

We need to change the way we BREW politicians. What can we do or change to make sure quality men and women are elected, regardless of political party? This is a start.

He wants for Republicans to have more of a voice ? they have a voice for eight years of of economic destruction and War mongering, now is is time to listen to some else. Good by Republicans and good DAM RIDDANCE.

Let's forgot the past, but learn from the past and move forward!! For goodness sake, stop living in the past!!!! Think of solutions to problems. United We Stand!!! America please stop mourning. We cant change the past, but we CANchange the FUTURE. Let's go change the future before it's really too late. If we position ourselves well enough, we can still survive to exist in 2016. Hopefully, it's not the end of the world, but it may be the beginning of the RAPTURE!!! Hoooray!!! Quality Christians will no longer be on earth!!

Did you voice any opinions when we spent 10 billion a month in Iraq? Did you voice your opinions when lobbyists slept with oil regulators although you knew about i?

If you didnt and you gave DubaYOU (W) a 5 trillion blank check, you are not allowed to critize Obama for the next 8 years.

He want the Republicans to have more of a voice

@Texas Teacher

If I were you, I wouldn't talk about not attacking the messenger. I have seen all your posts too, and you have no credibility either.

@Proud American

You are a huge part of the problem as to why liberals are hated. You are a big loser! The sad thing about that is you know it!

Proud American, you are are true Dem, like all of them, filled with HATE, States should be loaned, not given the money for free.
Who do you think will end up pay for all this!, get your head of your you HATE full as! and get a brain.

@ Proud American

Thank you for proving my point! You ARE a retard! You have confirmed it!

I am a democrat who agrees that 25% is way too much for us to be paying in taxes. After all what do we get for it? Poor people die everyday of diseases that can be cured just because they have no insurance. Put the money back in the pocket it belongs in, not in the pocket of these corporations that ship our jobs overseas. I hate to agree with a Neocon on anything, but Mitch is right, 15% is a much more reasonable percent.

Typical of the left wing media, they can't stand it to publish my earlier comments that warn us of Barack's substance and how he will systematically ruin this country with his left wing ideology.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell = You and the rest of the Republican Idiots can just go right back to sleep.

At the risk of belaboring the issue.... when you attack the messenger instead of the message... you have lost the debate... .worse, you show your ignorance. Seriously... think about it! *LOL*

Just an old Ind'n woman who happens to be a teacher in Texas!

Indiana voter = Put your helmet on and get back down to the basement. At some points you Idiots have to stop being the problem and start be apart of the solution. No one in America or the world care what a Republican thinks or want. Really who cares?

Trish what's really sad, is your to stupid to know that the entire Bush admin could go to prison today. Your a Idiot just like the republican leadership. You don't have a clue, and All of America and the rest of the world is looking forward to Jan. 20th at Noon. Idiot

Frankly we could care less what Mr. Reid wants or thinks because we no longer believe anything he says.

His constant efforts at manipulating and hijacking the Senate Seats for the people HE wants with little regard to what the STATES want is outrageous.

He is losing our support and is considered a Tyrant.

This would be applauded if Obama proposed, what irony.

very noble: out in the air in Pa., we have heard a large insurance company introduced cayotes into the state as a way to control the deer population; thus limiting their payout in claims caused by deer running into cars..is this something a pubic traded company can do..

Some of what McConnell says makes sense, like loans with interests to the different states.

Looksd like the Repubs want to work with the Dems, wonder how it'll all turn out.

It amazes me that Senator McConnell along with most of the southern senators are from the poorest states in the union and continue to be elected. They are mean spirited and never have ideas that help everyone prosper. His total focus is on what benefits the rich, himself and his friends. What has he done to help the people of Kentucky to become better educated and more successful? The American people are tiring of this negative behavior, When was the last time a republican came up with something helpful as the Pell Grant by the late Senator Pell. No ideas just negative talk.

arivera... we "minorities" are fast becoming the majorities! Along with all sensible people, we see who the base for the Republican party is.... just the wealthiest 5% of this nation. And they will do NOTHING to keep from padding their pockets.... we simply have NOT counted for 8 years... and now Daddy Bush wants Jeb to be a Senator AND a President. He must think we have all been living under a rock the last 8 years while he and his cronies have raped the nation and left us bleeding! Cynical.... you betcha!

And he could NOT have urged this when they were playing trickle down economics while they were padding their pockets with Lobbyist donations and other perks? Really?

Pardon me if I am cynical of anything a Repub politicians has to say.... hypocrits everyone of them in my book! Now we must come together as a People, but we do not have to let these bozos who got us into this mess pretend to want to get us out. They are just covering their political but .... I mean, backsides...

WE SHOULD LET THE REPUBLICANS CONTINUE TU RUN OUR

ECONOMY & OUR WORLD AFFAIRS. A FAILING ECONOMY & 2

FAILED WARS ARE GREAT REASONS, TO THOSE TWO SMALL

MONKEYS TRYING VERY HARD TO MATE WITH THAT FOOTBALL.

AS FOR THE REST OF US, WE HAVE ELECTED A NEW CHIEF &

HE WILL BE DIRECTING OUR ECONOMY & THE 2 WARS YOU

GUYS DID SUCH A RETARDED BANG JOB WITH.

@Proud American

Do you ever say anything that makes any sense without spewing hate? It seems to me that you might only be about the age of 10 as you tend to say things like a 10 year old would. Oh, let me guess... you are going to respond with an attempt to insult me about saying something negative about my mom? Just like an immature kid would. You say Republicans are hateful, yet you spew hate while saying it.

You are no "Proud American." You are just a nut case, but I think you already know that already.

Prove my point in 3, 2, 1...

What a hypocrite. I do not recall the Republicans when in power affording the Democrats the same courtesy.

Personally, I'd like to see President Obama give the Republicans just as much voice as President Bush gave to the Democrats.

But Barack Obama is a better person than I am, and certainly far better than George Bush or Mitch McConnell.

President Obama will listen to both sides of the aisle, and that will be a change for the better.

It never ceases to amaze me! The utter gall of some people like that Illinois governer, O.J. Simpson, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeldt and the Republicans in general. What kind of material is used in lining their necks? Totally transparent, these subhumans continue to garner headlines in America. Maybe that's the reason for their obnoxious ways; names in the news. Or are they clueless of their own behaviour?

Actually, the Repubs want to be part of the solution so that they can claim some of the credit! Forget it! Go back into your caves until someone asks for your opinion. That is how much you cared for Dem opinion! You laughed if a Dem even tried to get past your congressional monopoly! It hurts, doesn't?

The Toyata, Honda, and Nissan repulblicans from southern states are more than willing to give grants to Iraq which has close to 80 billion dollars surplus, but they are not willing to help US states struggling financially. Ah the Republicans with their phony patriotism!

This guy is a chooch. He can only suggest ideas that were already being done in the Senate. He offers no new ideas or information, but the thinks he can be a critic to the new Administration. All Republicans can say is , "Tax Cuts", it is their solution to every problem the world ever faced. Republicans are a joke.

SURE THE RNC WANTS TO CONTINUE TO RUN THE ECONOMY.

YEA !!! THERE IS A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN BOBBA. AND

HE DON'T PAY TO PLAY.

WE ELECTED HIM TO UNDO YOUR HANDY WORK OF 8 YEARS.

you've had eight years, your words now have no merit at all, no more republicans.

WHERE WAS THIS GREAT SERVANT OF THE PEOPLE WHEN

BUSH TORE UP THE CONSTITUTION & OUR ECONOMY????

I CAN TELL YOU WHERE. HELPING BUSH GET IT DONE !!!

These crazy right wingers didn't want to hear anything from the democrats when they were in charge. Now that the shoe is on the other foot suddenly they are talking bipartisanship. I wonder if they realize after the last election that the republican party has become a mainly southern white male party along with their wives. The country is changing and left these radical right wingers behind. The entire middle east is destabilized, the economy is in ruins, the country is badly divided and the only positive thing is that so called minorities like myself as the republicans like to define us, have in big majorities moved to the left and the democratic party. I guess us so called minorities are no longer irrelevant like the republicans thought we would always be.

So Mitch, your plan is to make it look like you are helping states, but you are not. Another brilliant republican strategy. Keep dragging your feet and add to the problem, not the solution.

Mitch, you might want to reach out to the democrats as you are in charge of the fewest number of republicans in the senate in a long time, and there could even be fewer in two short years.

Mitch, you must be smoking something other than home grown Kentucky tobacco if you think addressing infrastructure is ". . .mob museums and water slides."

Now he ask for transparency. I only wish they would have ask for this 8 years back maybe we wouldn't be in the shape we're in today. Obama have said he wants to be transparent in dealing with the American people and I believe he will.

Moderator , I said PLease!!! My comment was not out of line.

Meanwhile...while democridiots like Harry Reid & Nancy Pelosi are bashing an administration that has already finished their term...

Real politicians like Mitch McConnell are working to get things done...

Looks like History continues to repeat itself and the democlowns will be kicked out of congress in 2010 & out of the white house in 12...these guys just don't know how to temper power do they...they're not even in office and they're already screwing it up!

What a joke....

The last good Mitch was Mitch Miller.Bleep this needlenosed,lipless republican,from the hillbilly capital of the world.Now he wants to play nice,well bleep him.

Another irrelevant elephant.
Sorry Mitch, you either support President Obama or relegate yourself to the dust bin of history.

Right, like the financial rescue package did the economy any good. That was supposed to loosen up credit; however, it did not. Credit is still very tight. All the financial institutions did was use the money to purchase other financial institutions making themselves even larger than they are now. Also, who thinks the Republicans have any good ideas regarding our economy.

Proud American – Excuse me but if you think the current Dems are going to show how government is run, you are out of your mind. Looks like as of today they are doing one helluva job with Richardson and Harry Reid putting their best feet forward. Be careful what you say – things are beginning to slide downhill. More to come.

worst president, w??? well, duh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just like a physician should do no harm, is there anything he touched where he and his evil and incompetent crew didn't do harm??? i'm hard pressed to think of one thing....except making his father look brilliant by comparison...you're doing a heckuva job bushie!!!

Hmmm, delay delay on the stimulus package. Moving to fast, darn it. We republicans don't unerstand!!!
This is what Obama team has been saying for months. Pretty much the same thing. It makes it Ok when he says it. What a joke. Help the solution or get out of the way.

Did someone tell the Idiot republicans that they still have a voice? No one cares what you think (lol) or want. Shut up and sit down and watch the democrats as they show you and the world how a real government should be run. Americans gave you Idiots a chance and you couldn't get the job done.

The Rel'ics have shown us what THEY can do under a Re'lic Prez...give the new leadership and new congress a way to get out of this mess the GOP has left us in..".PLEASE STEP TO THE SIDE SENATOR McCONNELL...Newbys coming through..."

I urge that the entire republican party get some mental health treatment. These Idiots have nothting to lose.
