		<description>At last a Republican senator wises up!

After 2 years of Republicans purposely sabotaging &amp; creating gridlocks for the Democrats and the bills, initiatives and proposals they created and supported for the improvement of citizens of this nation.  Republicans rather have themselves and Democrat look inept or incompetent and claim that as a sort of twisted victory but they do not realize that it greatly harms the American people and denies them of improvements &amp; new services that would benefit their lives.  

But, the American people are not stupid, in the last election they voted in almost 60 Democratic Senators &amp; more than 250 Democratic House Representatives.  They know that the Republicans caused Congress to be inept and not maximize their potential over the needs of the American people.  When a political party like the Republicans values and cares more about its twisted &amp; counter productive agenda over the interests &amp; needs of its people then the political party becomes obsolete, selfish, closed minded &amp; a social pariah.

No one can either forget the failures and disasters of Bush &amp; his Cabinet:
1. Failed wars
2. Failed Economy
3. Ignoring &amp; denying intelligence prior to 9/11 indirectly causing more than 3,000 deaths
4. Betrayal of CIA agent Valerie Plame
5. Betrayal of U.S. soldiers by denying them body armor &amp; vehicle plating armor
6. Failed preparations &amp; reaction to hurricane Katrina
7.Torturing &amp; Executing prisoners of war which only strengthens &amp; enlarge terrorist groups
8.  Failures in inspecting &amp; repairing nation&#039;s infrastructure
9.  Stripping citizen rights to sue corporations for malpractice or damages
10.  Selling out to oil, weapon, construction &amp; health care corporations over the rights &amp; needs of the American People

Worst Presidents ever: 1. George W. Bush 2. Richard Nixon 3.  Warren G. Harding...all Republicans of course!</description>

		<description>It is so nice to see that the LIBERAL CNN structure is in place and fully operational. I will be visiting from time to time to see how everyone changes once they see there finances going to Washington and nothing coming back to them. It is a lovely day.</description>

		<description>I would take a CIA chief with no intelligence experience and only an excellent and bipartisan record of management over repeated gross and blatant violations of the Constitution any day.

Goodbye Bush and Cheney, hello civil rights and liberties. Finally a chance to reclaim the best of America and our global moral high ground.</description>

		<description>At least by then the US will know how corrupt and lying the Democrats really are!  So, it won&#039;t be a loss for the Republicans at all - but a HUGE landslide AGAINST the Democrats.  He&#039;s just clearing the way for new blood!</description>

		<description>I worked for Senator Bond.  He is a wonderful man and he will be greatly missed by the state of Missouri.  some may complain, but he has brought so much money to our state, and that is what we elected him to do.  Senator Bond has been a champion in the intelligence community bringing the FISA bill through the Senate this past year.  

He is a wonderful and I, and everyone else from Missouri, wish him nothing but the best.  Thanks for your wonderful work as governor and Senator for our state.  We will miss you.</description>

		<description>Larry in Houston, TX.

This is all you need to see from a President?  Put together a cabinet and then you&#039;ll vote for him again in four years?  Sounds like a 50 yard stare.

That&#039;s how GW Bush got elected twice.  &quot;I&#039;d still like to sit down and have a beer with him. Let&#039;s re-elect him!!!&quot; 

Let&#039;s see what he does with his first term on the job, then decide on our vote.
Doesn&#039;t that sound more like an open minded, educated voter?</description>

		<description>They&#039;re not in power any more so they are jumping ship.  Sore losers, all of them.  Let them all quit so the Democrat majority can become even more filibuster proof.  

If they aren&#039;t going to run for re-election in 2010, why don&#039;t they just resign now.

Red state, Blue state, doesn&#039;t matter, any republican running for office in 2010 is toast unless they get with the program and start offering up more than idiological objections to the president&#039;s programs.  They&#039;ve been invited to contribute if they have anything positive to contribute.  The only ones who have a prayer of being re-elected in 2010 is if they are productive so let&#039;s get with it!</description>

		<description>Hector, your whole comment is ignorant. So how many promises has any President made during a campaign that they were able to keep, very few. You would think you wetodd&#039;s would want the next administration to succeed with the way things are now. You knitwits better put your bitterness in check and do what you can to help get this country back on track or we will be known as the country formaly known as the United States. There are as many Republicans who are ultra corrupt as Democrats. And as long as thier is big money in politics, there will be corruption. The only thing we can do as cictizens is try not to elect these types. President Obama will do a good job, I am confident. We have nowhere to go but up.  Now to the topic: it is sure strange to see all the Republicans hitting the eject button. Kind of tells you the state of the Republican Party. I hope the Republicans can find it in themselves to get back on track and get rid of these idiots running thier party into the ground, otherwise the party will continue to be a minority in politics.</description>

		<description>For all the jubilation being expressed over this old man&#039;s retirement, there should be some concern for Missourians.  Though he&#039;s a strong conservative that I don&#039;t agree with, this leaves Missouri&#039;s senate delegation with no seniority on the Hill.  Like it or not, this isn&#039;t a good thing for Missouri jobs and the sort....</description>

		<description>Obviously it is just time for a new generation of politicians to take center stage.  Even though most politicians have their own share of mess, some have been rolling in mess longer than others.  Maybe new ideas and a new energy will arise.  Maybe a new generation of republicans will serve the country better than the ones we currently have and the same for the Dems.</description>

Thank you to Blagojevich, and Burris and Bill Richardson for showing us the tip of the Iceberg for lib behavior....whats next a CIA chief with no experience?!?!?</description>

There is more people now, that will vote for him, because the GOP such as (Palin) &amp; others) smeared him.....Now, they are finding out that since he put together a cabinet that is so impressive, so, in 2012  he will wn by a landslide....</description>

		<description>I agree with Purple Microdot that this may be one of the most interesting Senate races in 2010. But I do think the democrats have a chance. Claire McCaskill was able to unseat the republican incumbent. Of course whichever dem runs in 2010 will not be able to fan the flames of anti-Bushism like McCaskill did to win the seat.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s interesting that so many Republican members of Congress are bailing out.  Maybe they did not like what the Republican Cental Committe was trying to do, setting up a facist police state under Bush, and want to get far away from that treasonous cabal.

BTW, The only REAL Americans are the indigenous people, Athabascan, Iroquois, Cheyenne, Sioux, Apache, Yahi, Tinglit, etc, so shut up &quot;REAL American, unless you are one of the native tribes.

And if you are, I hope you are hunting with wooden spears hurled with an atltl, and tipped with Folsom projectiles made of flint, otherwise your drivel about liberals and modern technology is just another example of conservative hypocrisy.</description>
