    Obama calls out the threat for what it is. Good for him. This is ridiculous. It is a threat to our democracy having foreign special interests paying for U.S. election campaigns.

    "There has been a fundamental lack of seriousness on the other side," "We've spent the last 20 months governing; they have spent the last 20 months politicking."

    "Well, we can politick for three months. They forgot I'm pretty good at politicking."

    Remember when Republicans were apoplectic about Chinese money coming into our elections.

    I think that's a grand statement, and the President is good at "politicking," but the election is in less than a month. I'm guessing that's an old quote?

    His approval rating seems to have gone up about 5-8 points across polls. Seems people are beginning to see he ain't as bad as your Tea Party has tried to tar & feather him as being.

    I think his message that the Republicans have opposed everything, including their own ideas the past two years in order to just win back congress is actually resonating with people.

    Finally Obama has found a truth that really kicks at the gut of the GOP. They don't care about Americans, they played two years of suffering for people just so they could gain some political power.

    Its' really shameful. It must be hard to be a Republican knowing they did not do anything for 2 years.

    Top Nevada Republican Edorses Harry Reid, Slams Sharron Angle

    Nevada State Sen. Bill Raggio, who is considered to be one of the most influential Republican lawmakers in the Silver State, endorsed Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in his reelection fight against GOP challenger Sharron Angle on Thursday.
    ...

    "What is difficult to overlook is her record of being totally ineffective as a four-term assemblywomen, her inability or unwillingness to work with others, even within her own party, and her extreme positions on issues such as Medicare, social security, education, veterans affairs and many others," Raggio said of Angle...

    Wow. Just Wow.

    Honestly, that's how I feel about your ignorant and terribly narrowminded ways.

    Either you are the ultimate troll, so pathetic in getting a rise out of the crap spewage you put up here, or you are just a terribly lost soul. Either way, you truly are deserving of pity, basso.

    Liberals certainly don't have the answers, but what you write here is on par with paranoia and borderline imbecility.

    What you fail to realize is that your posts do not hurt the liberals or the left. It hurts your side. Because it's so ludicrous it actually undermines the rights platform. You're such a joke on here that you make all of conservatism a joke by merely associating yourself with it.

    It's been many many years - don't you think it's time to reconsider your approach since it clearly doesnt' work? Maybe if you have ambitions other than irritating glynch and mc mark, and whomever, you should come up with logic that doesn't sound like trying to excuse Chernobyl.

    Do you want to be a joke, or to make a point. Because right now you are a joke.

    Exactly. At least basso posts it as a link so you can choose not to click it.

    If you still feel the urge to click a basso link, at least hover over it and notice it is usually just some freeper blog. Then pass.

    I seriously doubt it, he rarely comes after me, he goes after the posters he can get to argue with him. I am just calling him out.

    And I didn't even click on his link.

    While I get your point and agree to an extent; looking at the big picture, I think it would be a disaster to let those who ****ed up the country in the first place back in power.
