It is vitally important that Democrats hold the Senate majority and change the filibuster rules on the one and only day they have to do so. It is vitally important that Democrats re-take the House of Representatives. It is vitally important that President Obama win re-election.

More importantly, it is absolutely imperative that Democrats stiffen their spine, cut spending, cut waste, and raise taxes. We don't have time to waste.

If we can do that, Republicans are going to be forced to give us a very good reason why they should be elected. The cut taxes on the rich nonsense has to stop.

The cut taxes isn't only not going to work, it's not working now. When will the tea people GOP republicans learn, their dead meat in 2012. The comedy show they call the tea people GOP republican debates is getting funnier every day. They have nothing to offer in the way of policies, all they've got is the same old talking points and buzz words they've been using for years and no body is listening. Well except the far right loony bin folks.

I second that David.

the DEMs ain't taking the house and may lose the senate

The sky is not falling, the world isn't going to end (regardless of what Mitch Daniels thinks) and this is just politics as usual. Every election cycle gets more hyperbole, more mass panic. Fact is, if these guys said, "Things could be better, and I will try my plan", nobody would pay attention. Regardless of who you support, make sure you hold them to their promises.

Nothing to see here folks, just another election. Go home and spend time with your loved ones, that's what really matters

Hopefully we get Senator Bill Nelson replaced with a pro-constitutional candidate.

As a legal immigrant, I see America in a different light than most natives, and I bring a more worldly experience to the discussion. After a decade and a half of living here, I do not yet get the American aversion to I.D., or bank accounts for that matter. Where I am from originally, government issued identification starts at birth with a birth certificate , immunization card and 9 months later with a passport. It takes three forms of I.D. just to cash a check. Why is it so hard to require a photo I.D. to do the most important aspect of the American experience, vote?

Bonginc,

if you have not noticed, they like to have everything muddled up so that everyone will have a right as they say to spin and interpret things as they see fit. Did you see what happened in Iowa in a basically GOP caucus. If the same thing happened in a Dem vs GOP contest, the GOP will manufacture a bogey organization with a tinge of race coloration red meat to its most hateful and pretend stupids to satisfy their lust for blood. It is all political as they say, like putting facts on its head and pretend that being stupid is fun. Do you know in any part of the world where people say they want to elect the type of people they will have beer with. Where Joe the plumber wants to be president of America, even Sara Paline and Herman Cain. Smart educated people pretend they never went to Harvard or MIT or Ivy league schools so they will not be labeled elites. Do you see the Russian immigrant who goes around the states litigating about our Potus citizenship. She plays to the stupids, How can you question facts and be taken serious, only in our good old US of A. In other places you are laughed off the arena as a moron

With all due respect BongINC, this govt has us stamped and IDed from birth as well, that's NOT what another friggin' ID is about. We already have all the damn ID's anyone would ever need. Furthermore, the vote is not the most important aspect of the American experience as it pertains to political representation. Over-the-top campaign contributions and lobbying efforts are the most important aspect of the American experience as it pertains to political representation. The vote has been rendered mute and nationally elected politicians regard the average American voter as an irritant.

This society was founded as a representative democracy to white titled propertied males of privilege. While we have over time managed to drag the system kicking and screaming away from that original position somewhat, we’re still nowhere hear the lofty false rhetoric. And over the past 3-4 decades wealth and power has been redistributed and concentrated into the hands of fewer and fewer at the top. No ID is going to address that, and they've made sure voting won't either.

Ive read many varied views in these comments tonight. All of you make me feel like America will live to see another day. I don't ever get that from the comments at Yahoo. They seam to be extremely short sighted in the way they look at a proublem.
