and yet Al Gore had trouble getting votes.

Today, America is the laughing stock of the world. Why is it that the rest of the world can see what the Repubs have been doing, but the people here, in this country, up close and personal, don't?

Also, didn't the U.S. Chamber of Commerce prove to us all that, indeed, America IS for sale? Toomy was given a $1.7 million dollar check and wiped the floor with Sestak. What message does that send to us?
