They're already not putting up with it. All these, "occupy" protests are just the beginning. I think the Republi-cons have bit off more than they can chew this time. They should have learned from Scott Walker what their limits are. The other side of that is maybe they are just grabbing for all they can get before they loose it.

I don't like either.

I can't answer when words are put in my mouth. Yes or no only.

Republicans will get what they are looking for and then some that they don't expect.

Democrats need to chose a side or get kicked to the side too!

We need americans in office, not party players with self concerns not for americans.

They just may hand Obama a token jobs bill but on the heels of yet more tax cuts for "Them" and almost without questions some sort of Industrial Deregulation or what they percive as "Government control" but what these blind fools just don't seem to get is that there is a tidal wave building all over the world against these "Elite" and because they are almost falling down drunk with there apparent temporary total control of the chaos they have infected this planet with they have lost sight of the obvious . How long did you honestly think WE THE PEOPLE would tolerate your disgusting lust for more did you really think we would just go on swallowing your disgusting thirst for more while you gorge on the lives the hopes the very dreams of every single American family who's very nature is a forgiving one ? You just could'nt let WE THE PEOPLE live the "Dream" you just had to allow your out of control drunken greed and addiction for power totally consume you that you lost your objectivity to the point of being swept up by the very tidal wave you created, Did you really think your plan would work you silly sick twisted fools. The Neo-con Republican party is GONE and soon on it's way down the very same toilet you all crawled out of, you will all go down in history as the failed party who's greed & lust for power left unchecked was responsible for the murder of hundreds of thousands of innocent Human beings. Good Bye and good luck in Hell ...

Answer: Americans won't have to wait for Republicans to block what the corporate party's Democrat Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, already has... on 10/04/11.

Cognitive dissonant liberals keep blaming the Republicans for everything that those self-proclaimed "intelligent" liberals have joined together in solidarity with the ignorant conservatives to corporate party vote for.

The results of elections, in which 99% participating reliably vote for either the (R) or the (D) "electable" offered by the corporate party, have provided proofs positive that the smarter half of the electorate is clearly the half that has refused to vote.

Whatever takes place in that building...Our trust in our Government has been greatly deminished . All anyone need do is just look back at what Our elected officials have done to keep the Criminally insane investment community & Banksters rolling in bonuses , It's hard for Me to understand that there's this blatant pro-corporate anti-public mindset , when so very few benefit so completely in such a grand windfall then act as if even the smallest social program costs them to much like it was being taken from there own wallets when it's we the people they are stealing from and laughing all the way to the banksters and Military contractors they soon end up working for while the next elected officials spend there career hang off the public tit until they are ready to take there place in the corporate board room and the cycle repeats itself all the while stealing for there kind and perpetuating there agenda .. They should ALL without exception be barred from working in the very sector they once governed over for at least 5 yrs after public service . The rest need to give back the paychecks there daughters braces there wifes many facelifts and so on .. WE ARE SICK of our struggle while these SOBs Milk the system as if it were there's by design ! I've had enough and I'm ready to take desperate measures to get my point across... CAN YOU HEAR OUR PLEA....??????

If enough people hear the truth and these far right wingers are pretty blatant about their beliefs and/or agendas, they will wake up long enough to vote for their own interests and against the rich political contributors. In the end I'm hoping that the Tea Party controlled republicans wind up shooting themselves in the foot.
