You're preaching to the converted. I don't think the Democrats are a working man's party at all.

I mean shoot when you have control over Congress and the Senate you should be able to produce at least something that will help the average American citizen.

The Democrats don't 'have control' over the Congress and the Senate at all. They can barely control themselves.

Fact is they did not and now many people are losing their homes due to the fact they can't make payments on the tacky wages they are getting and the banks, investors and 401k's suffer the cost.

Correlation does not mean causation. If 'guilt' for this is to be placed on Congress then both parties are responsible.

For all the money paid to medical care and corporations, Pharmecutical Industry, Cargill, Monsanto, Insurance companies and the likes of corporations you'd think the leaders could come up with something besides stuffing their own pocket books, their not!

I have full faith that the free market will
only look after it's own profit margins and infinite expansion. A government representative of this system is only capable of not just protecting it, but being subservient to it.

Democrats have been more inclined to point fingers than do something worth while, while they had the chance in the last four years and they did not. It is much easier to blame one person or two for all the woes that are faced today isn't.

Even if we were to concede you the point of Democrats "having control" (with a mere 'majority', where
Joe Lieberman is the tie breaker), which I don't, the only window of opportunity would have been the last *two* years, not four.
Of course, because the Democrats were not able to
pass anything, doesn't mean it is indicative of the failure of their ideas had all of them been able to pass. They don't have a dictatorial hold over the legislature, you know...there is the little tidbit about the Republicans blocking nearly everything they attempt to do.

Of all this mess I have yet to hear one of them stand up and say hey let us put and end to this finacial fiasco of stripping the poor through the process called credit.

There are some who say that (Dennis Kucinich, for example?), the problem is that you don't want to listen; especially to the consequences of criticizing the validity of
the system, because usually that ends up somewhere
other than 'free market reform'.

The credit card industry is nothing more than a pack of theives preying on the poor and they all have residency in Delaware. 39% fringing percent plus every other excess charge they can add on in the meantime, ain't that a little to much? That is what your Democratic Presidential candidate's running mate stands for.

My Democratic Presidential candidate?
