- Usually reading a set of comments here leads me to alternatively celebrate and grit my teeth. This set of comments seems to represent what I hope will be a new movement in America. Please help to make it happen. Just one comment about the future of the Democratic party and the middle class. I can understand your frustration in our being under-represented in the past but as a person who knows Howard Dean as a fellow father watching our kids play hockey together, this person can help guide the party in a good direction. He is NOTHING like person that the republicons try to represent.

- Most Americans don't realize it but if you travel around EU countries, you will surprisingly see a higher standard of living for its people, better infrastucture, and a much happier and content people.
Too many Americans have become slaves to corporate America with long hours and meager rewards. The current economic boom is not showing up in the paychecks of middle America. Paul Krugman in the Times has been pointing this out for years and the middle class is starting to listen. All those billions given to the rich, corporations and the oil companies, would reduce the middle class's tax burden to a small fraction of what it is today. The EU countries do it without the monstrous economic tax-producing engine that the US enjoys. - Reply to this comment
- I just hope that the dems don't drop the ball if its handed off to them. They seem to get side tracked with issues that don't really matter to me, such as gay marriage and the like, I could care less, this economy and country is in big trouble. First order should be to limit exposure to the lobbyists, as they have sold America out for profits for big business. What really sc ares me, is I'm afraid they are just as corrupt as the neocons. They have to concentrate on getting back middle America, it won't be easy, but they need to try. Sad part being big business will probably win, as money talks and bull*hit walks.

- This is one ordinary, middle-class American who believes it's time for a change! I'm well aware that there is(& always has been & probably always will be) corruption in both the Democrat & Republican parties. But, the level of corruption we're seeing since the Bush adm. took office, is the worst in US history. They care nothing about the middle-class, or any class! Bush/Cheney & others in their adm. are only interested in power, money & war(because it generates more money).
Vote for major change Nov. 7th! And stay informed. Knowledge is power! - Reply to this comment

STAY FOCUSED AMERICA IT IS ABOUT TO GET TOUGH. WE HAVE A FEW MORE DAYS OF INTENSE ATTACK ADS, SMOKE SCREENS, DIVISION OF ELECTORATE, DECEPTION, MISREPRESENTATION, AND LIES, TO ENDURE BEFORE WE CAN UNCOVER THE ELECTION FRAUD, RECOUNT THE VOTE, AND THROW THESE CRIMINALS OUT OF OFFICE. THEN WE CAN START HEALING AMERICA. - Reply to this comment
- The Republicans have engaged in class warfare for years. Its about time for the middle class to realize that they are not part of the Republican club. If the Dems sweep, its time to soak the rich, oil companies and corporations and give the proceeds to working American families. The Dems have been weak in supporting labor. hopefully now they will get it.

- Have be somewhat astounded these last six years as the various Bush Brigade bumbles, bungles and blunders have played and rolled on and on yet a contingency of the "middle-class" aligned themselves with the Bush folks. Perhaps somehow beguiled by the "supposed" tax breaks which were NOT "real" for they cost more than most comprended as service and programs and etc's were CUT to the bone and the costs shifted to the shoulders of individuals at a HIGHER COST than when SHARED. The trauma of 911 still have too many willing to forego various "whatever" basics of even our CONSTITUTION for a FALSE sense that somehow such will offer us up some form of security when the opposite is far more true as it perils our basic , grounded principles of which this nation was founded upon and for.

- Yeah.... and the exit polling from election night 2004 had Kerry winning the election...... FYI the head of our liberal Associated Press is an Al Gore pal and big donor.
Can anyone one say "bias" or "conflict of interest".
Let American's decide by voting on November 7th..... instead of these polls run by known liberal MSM outlets..........
They are pushing this propaganda in order to depress GOP turnout.......nice try - Reply to this comment
