The election

Ned has decided to speak "out" on the upcoming election. It is certainly the Democrats' election to lose. They came into office with a real mandate, not the sham "mandate" of the Bush regime, and what did they do with it? Ned recalls the Bush stooges pushing through the tax cuts that are the source of much of the country's fiscal trouble in the Senate in 2001 on a TIE VOTE. That's right, friends, Dick Cheney had to crawl out from under his rock to cast the tie-breaking vote, 51-50. But what do we hear now from the cringing, pants-wetting Democrats in the Senate? "(High, whiny, nasally voice) We need sixty votes to pass anything and the mean Republicans won't work with us!"
Where is the leadership to translate a big majority into action? Does anyone believe this so-called health care reform bill represents real change? It basically enshrines the for-profit health "insurance" industry, and guarantees them billions in profits, and billions in overhead fees. Sneering plutocrat CEOs making tens of millions a year. When did Ned wake up and find that "for-profit health care" made any sense?
So the Dems wet their collective pants when the Republicans stood in the way in the Senate. For that, Ned blames the Senate leadership, and the buck stops with Harry Reid. Should Reid be defeated by the Candidate from Another Planet, Sharrrrron Angle, the country and the Democrats could in the long run be better for it. They need someone like Dick Durbin as Majority Leader.
In the House, let the bastards take it over. Maybe they'll put some sense in federal immigration policy. This country has about eleven million unemployed and about elveen million illegal immigrants who will work for a pittance. Do the math. Other than that, they won't get anything done except "investigations", and since the Obama people have basically done nothing anyway, maybe they'll get around to investigating the crimes of the Bush regime and put that criminal Dubya behind bars where he belongs, along with Cheney, Rumsfeld, Condoleezzzzza Rice and that despicable crew that got us into this mess.
Now, having said all that, the by-and-largely ignorant "voters" ultimately deserve the blame for whatever happens, and that includes all the black folks who came out for Obama mainly because he was black, but won't lift a finger to support Democratic candidates who could help with his agenda, such as it is.
Ned concludes with the Bard: "A Pox on all their houses."
