@parados,
No I think he is talking about the 2 years, from 2008-2010 when they held a majority in Congress and also controlled the White House. I'm sure that doesn't include the 2 previous years when the Dems took control of both The Senate and The House. You know when Nancy Pelosi was made speaker of the house? That would mean that the Dems controlled congress from 2006-2010 when they lost the majority in The House.

@Baldimo,
Correction. I meant to say 2 months when the Dems had a filibuster proof Senate.

@parados,
yeah, those two months when the Dems were mainly trying to repair the US economy which the Repubs had spent years trashing (which repairs the Rs were doggedly resisting, I might add).

Redistribution has fixed 0. It has made things decidedly worse. And it has divided the country, which was its purpose. Demonizing success, and promoting something for nothing on someone elses dime.

Want Mark Begich to Win the Alaska Senate Seat? In Alaska, there is 200% voter turnout!

Seems impossible?

Well it is, but that is what the election data said for the 2004 election in 16 out of 40 districts.


Discrepancies in the 2004 election included a district-by-district count that added up 292,267 votes cast for George Bush in the presidential election, while the statewide summary showed 190,889 votes.

District-by-district totals gave U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski 226,992 votes, while her official total was 149,446 votes.

And in half the state House Districts, more ballots were cast than there are registered voters, with 200 percent voter turnout in 16 of those districts, the Democrats say.

Brown said the Democratic party's analysis of the central tabulator file has not yet revealed the cause of those discrepancies.

"We are continuing to try to get to the bottom of that," Brown said.

They never did get to the bottom of this.

This state is all set up for fraud.

The Koch brothers do not need to spend more money, they just need Karl Rove and his *new IT expert.
(*Karl Rove's last IT guy died in a small plane crash right before he was to be put on trial under oath in Ohio for election fraud)

Rick Perry Ordered To Appear In Court October 31
Source: HUFF POST

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Indicted Texas Gov. Rick Perry must appear for a court hearing on Oct. 31.

A judge set the date Monday for a pretrial hearing to discuss procedural issues, including whether the special prosecutor leading the case against Perry was properly sworn in.

The governor was in Europe and skipped Monday's proceedings in Austin. But he will have to be there when the case goes back to court.

Special prosecutor Michael McCrum has until Nov. 7 to respond to two motions to quash the case. Perry's lawyers call the case unconstitutional, but also want it dismissed on technicalities.

Brutal New Ad Blames GOP Spending Cuts For Ebola Deaths.

By Sahil Kapur
Published October 13, 2014, 10:39 AM EDT

"A new TV ad blames prominent Republicans for Ebola deaths, attacking them for championing spending cuts that have gone after emergency public health funding for containing disease outbreaks.


The one minute ad, called "Republican Cuts Kill," splices grueling images of body bags and workers in hazmat suits with footage of top Republicans like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (KY) and House Speaker John Boehner (OH) calling for spending cuts. It also features 2014 Republican Senate candidates Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Cory Gardner of Colorado, Tom Cotton of Arkansas and Pat Roberts of Kansas.

The spot was produced by the Agenda Project Action Fund, the same progressive group that has made controversial anti-Republican ads such as "Granny Off the Cliff." The group's spokeswoman, Erica Payne, said Monday the ad would air in Kentucky, North Carolina, South Dakota and Kansas — all of which feature competitive Senate races that could swing the majority."

I know the truth hurts, Baldimo. But the GOP made the cuts. The GOP cut funding. The GOP broke their multiple assurances that the tax cuts in 2003 would be temporary. The GOP has resisted tooth and nail additional funding for medical research. They were incredibly shortsighted. They made their bed, let them lie (double meaning there, both intended) in it.

All of America is a federal reserve because it is owned and governed by the people collectively. Just because we have certain land set aside and designated as federal lands does not give corporations the right to ruin and pollute all non federal lands. We know how corporations work they will pollute the national parks deep underground by simply exploiting adjacent plots of land and sucking, mining, or drilling the resources from federal lands dry. Corporations have for years exploited protected Native reservation lands this way without batting an eyelash and they will do it wherever and whenever they can.

If corporations will do this to American Natives to make a buck they will do this to your average Joe too. They will fight to keep the dirty energy revenues coming in without a care of what is right or detrimental to future generations and the generations of the present.

They will dirty your well water and pay your senator and house member to do it.

They didn't have a large enough contingent to override vetoes under Bush or large enough to stop filibusters under Obama except for a 2 month window from the time Franken was seated July 7th to when Teddy Kennedy passed away August 25th.

American students are taught that democracy was invented by our Founding Fathers, who adapted it from Ancient Greece. This is a myth as foolish as Columbus "discovering" America. The U.S. Senate even passed a resolution in 1987 finally acknowledging that "the confederation of the original thirteen colonies into one republic was influenced by the Iroquois Confederacy, as were many of the democratic principles which were incorporated into the constitution itself."

Comment:
Columbus did not discover America, there were people already here when he arrived.
