Insider Trading Inside the Beltway: In 1990's Senators beat the market by 12% per year. Average private citizen did -1.4% during same period. Businesses averaged 6%.

The median household income in 1999, was $52,748 (inflation adjusted) and in 2008 $50,303. Thats right, the Republican controlled Senate, House, and the White House saw for the 1st time in modern history a loss in real wages. You vote for Republicans, you vote for failure.

Even though I'm a conservative, let's not forget that back in 2003, 450 economists all agreed that the Bush tax cuts would have a negative effect on the economy. Don't let people scare you into thinking that letting them expire will somehow damage the economy even more

Ladies and Gentleman I give you GOP Chairman Michael Steele- ""If he's (Obama) such a student of history, has he not understood that, you know, that's the one thing you don't do is engage in a land war in Afghanistan? ""

Oh TEA Party, you do not disappoint. "Democracy not Socialism" ... "Hands off my Medicare and Social Security"
