They haven't a clue and are totally devoid of any plan of action or alternatives to the well thought out agenda of the Obama administration.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Historically, a party that wins the general presidential election as well as control of Congress loses seats in the next off-year election. I don't see that happening in 2010, which will be great for the next phase of bringing this great country back to where it belongs - to the people.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;By the way, want to see the banks pay back their TARP loans quickly?

&amp;nbsp;No one ever seems to want to. &amp;nbsp;Whenever they are brought up, people sidestep them all and resort to &amp;quot;you bash out of fear&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;you bash because she is a threat&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;she is too good for you&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Well, the right bashes Obama even worse. &amp;nbsp;Using your own logic, he must be too good, and conservatives must fear the good he could do, because they bash so much.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Of course, in this age of &amp;quot;it is only ok when republicans do it, not when democrats do&amp;quot; i am sure there is at least one well rehearsed and tired talking point about how bashing on one side means one thing but bashing on the other side doesn't.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So, have at it Sarah supporters, we're waiting.</description></item></channel></rss>
