Republicans are still running the country
Why is the Republican party still in charge? Didn't we vote them out in November?

5. They're running the media
but I don't believe they're running the country.

It's frustrating to see the pundits behaving the same old way - too bad we can't vote for (or vote out!) TV "reporters".

6. hope you're right
But I think Obama has spent too much time talking to the Republicans and working for a bipartisanship that only works if both parties attend.

7. Oh yes, all the executive orders Obama has signed. The biggest jobs bill in history, corporate
Edited on Thu Feb-05-09 09:09 AM by book_worm
executive pay freezes, all the Green initiatives of the Obama administration, the new health bill signed by Obama providing 4-million previously uninsured kids with insurance. Oh, yes...the GOP is still running things. Just because Obama isn't a clone of Dennis Kucinich doesn't mean that things are the same. There have been big changes in just the last two weeks.

8. the bill hasn't passed yet
You're preaching to the choir here but my point is that the Republicans are holding things up and the public is starting to listen.

9. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! My thoughts exactly!
Dennis K couldn't get elected. Yes, he has a lot of good ideas, but like Ron Paul, he is considered the fringe in the general populus.

10. No, they aren't running the country. They are acting like they are running it though.
And they are winning the PR war.
