Why Republicans Will Win Congressional Seats in 2010
What I’m seeing and feeling is more of a “throw the bums out” anti-incumbent mood than one that favors either major political party.
This mood will probably hurt Democrats more than Republicans in 2010 because more Democrats are in office, just as a similar mood hurt Republicans in 2006.
The #1 issue I face, along with 30 million+ other Americans, is unemployment. This is also our #2 issue and our #3 issue, with the accompanying loss of health care occupying spots # 4 and #5 in our list of priorities.
Very simply, until now government bailouts have been targeted at and have helped primarily the speculators and wheeler-dealers who run our country’s most thieving banks and other investment firms, while pointedly leaving the rest of us out, aside from the politically-favored auto workers.
Even on health care reform, it seems that the pharma crowd and the rest of the Pain Profiteers have a strong voice and will do well no matter that kind of health “reform” legislation passes, while people like me will go on paying more and more every year for less and less care.
I would like some representation, please.
Not lofty talk or promises that can’t possibly be kept, but actual programs that will help me and other like me, along with shutting down programs that help the richies at our expense.
Repeat: I would like someone in Congress, the white house, and the state house who sticks up for ME, and others like me, once in a while.
I don’t feel I have that now.
