Corporations would rather sit on their money and send it overseas than provide jobs. Republicans are TRAITORS and are ruining our country by giving corporations everything they want. People who vote for Republicans are TOO STUPID to understand these facts. - voter Fri, 12 Nov 2010 07:41:08 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/7271-ass-kicked#comment-12314 I voted for Scary Mary last time. After her not answering the phones during the Obamacare nonsense, I'm not going to vote for her, for anything. - Phil Thu, 11 Nov 2010 13:07:01 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/7271-ass-kicked#comment-12302 Democrats have a losing philosophy that is why they are not being given power, they have little attachment to the reality that WE WANT TO KEEP OUR MONEY AND TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES!!! The district in New Orleans must have the all time dumb voters of the state. They expect things to be "given" to them. They will get what they deserve for putting their faith in others instead of themselves!! - Buster Thu, 11 Nov 2010 10:29:43 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/7271-ass-kicked#comment-12278 And the flip flopping will continue as congressmen lose touch with the people back home. Maybe even Sour grapes Melancon will run again. He is just so full of class. - Hamburgerhelper Wed, 10 Nov 2010 18:14:28 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/7271-ass-kicked#comment-12264 The good news for the Democrats: a smaller ass to kick. The way things are going the last pocket of Democrats will be in New Orleans; a place increasing irrelevant to Louisiana. - Eat Prey Kill Wed, 10 Nov 2010 12:58:23 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/7271-ass-kicked#comment-12250 Of course Villere is going to issue the partisan talking point that has been honed and agreed upon in the backrooms of Republican focus groups. I'm sure it's the same talking point being parroted in the Fox/Rush/Drudge echo chamber. We've flip flopped party control in Congress 3 times in the past decade. This is not about a referendum on one party or another, but a general dissatisfaction with the system. Voters take it out on the party in power. According to polls (which seem to be pretty accurate), voters hate Democrats but they hate Republicans even more. And yet, Republicans gained the House. Also consider that more people are identifying themselves as Independent and are turning away from the two-party false dichotomy. I'm no party lackey, as I recognize that there's not much difference between the two parties in that they are both beholden to corporate masters and the central bank. We're distracted with manufactured drama and partisan gossip, focusing intermittently on domestic and foreign issues just long enough to make us think they will actually do something meaningful for the people. For all the talk of reducing government and spending, will the Republicans end $40 billion/year in farm subsidies and ethanol subsidies, or restore civil liberties, or end the war on drugs, or abandon attempts to legislate morality, or return power to the states? Will they talk about the 700 military bases we have in 130 countries and the $700 billion being considered for so-called "defense"? Will they repeal the health care mandate that will give a windfall to the insurance and pharmaceutical industries, or take meaningful measures to stop the Wall Street mafia from pillaging our wealth? I highly doubt it. - Resident Wed, 10 Nov 2010 10:35:14 +0100
