Massachusetts Senate Race

[MoparsRule]

Not at all, it rallied Tue, so I have no problem with my expectation with Wed being wrong.

The sun did shine brighter Wed. morning though.

Day-to-day, I can see that. But long term? Nosir. Only economic growth really feeds long-term equities prosperity.

I just watched the Vice President introduce the President. I swear if Biden was a republican he would be getting the Dan Quayle treatment from the media. This guy is terrible-I'm sure all the people in the West Wing are on pins and needles every time this idiot opens his pie hole.

Would it be worse than what Showpussy takes on here?

FCC rules may make it a bit less abusive than that.

I have to totally agree with this statement. Is it just me or is this country on its way down? The most frustrating thing to me about this whole mess is the fact that it’s the parties (Dems, GOP, Tea Baggers) and their loyalty being to the party first and not the people. I don’t care what party you choose to side with, that fact that you side with a party is the whole problem. The media is making a sport out of this party system. Choose your team and let’s sit back, drink and watch the game of pointless politics. The polarization of this country is leading to its downfall. I really don’t see and end to it until the entire country is on its knees. The rich need consumers and the consumers, as well as the country, is going broke.
I can truly say I am not proud of this country at this time. Wait to you see what the results are of the Supreme Court ruling of allowing corporations and unions to pour as much money into the election process has on Washington. You think its bad now? Give it about 8 years if America hasn’t crumbled by then. The idea that America is too strong to fail, I think is a real ignorant and naïve approach to take in what is now a global economy. That may have been true 40 years ago but not today.
The partisan sh*t is the major source of our problems. The Dems AND GOP are corrupt and really have no fukcing clue what they are doing. Neither party has an answer and they are too afraid to try anything new because they want to keep their job. Most the citizens know even less because they have no idea what is really going on behind closed doors. All they can do is spout the rhetoric of whatever media they choose to listen to and argue with each other on which is the right direction. When family and friends should be uniting to fight for their common goals, they are doing exactly what Washington is doing and splitting apart. It’s a disease that is quickly spreading. My problem with the Tea Baggers is they are a party based on hate, anger and ignorance and nothing good comes out of that approach except more of what spawned it.
I just had to vent a little and I have no idea what the answer is either. I do know the partisanship of this country is killing it. Maybe I am just watching too much news, but its very sad watching this country slowly (or quickly) fall apart. And I would like to think the people can still change the direction but everyone is too busy taking a side and cheering for their team to deliver the knockout punch to the other. At the same time the country and your future (whether its retirement or employment) and our kids’ future is going down in flames.

Slow Joe mumbles, bumbles & fumbles a good but, not more than we're all used to by now though.... but don't fret, he will have plenty of practice swearing in Republicans next January.
