The Dems will likely loose the Senate and thanks to gerrymandering, the Repubs will keep the House.

Republicans have proven to be everything that liberals have said they are and more. We don't need anymore people in office that put party ahead of the people that elected them.

Too many Democrats vote and act like Republicans. We need actual Liberals and Progresses in Congress. Political parties are much like clubs. Most anyone can join any of them.

What I want is for people to cease electing them. Now. Thank you.
Also I do not agree that they take the Senate and hold the House. Certainly no foregone conclusion. It is a long way to election day. Long way.

make sure that Obama beats Romney. I disagree with that. I believe that there is a good chance that we will at least win back the House and we might keep narrow control of Senate. It is way to early to give up on Congress.
