The TARP Legislation is a fine example of both parties are one. 80% of the people were against it. The Democrats in the House voted it down due to lack of GOP support. And the Dem Senate passed it with GOP support. The ruling party are the banks and the "captains of industry". The people have effectively and virtually no representation in Congress or the White House.

I agree. That is why we need a separation of economy and state.

Brother ANYTIME you want to debate issue's let me know!

All you lefties know is "it was Bush's fault" and "racism" those aren't issues they're cop outs by people who couldn't tell you what issues are even if they looked them up online. Transparency of government is greater that it was, hahaha you are either the biggest idiot in the world or the biggest liar in the world, which is it? back room deals, passing bills without reading them, appointees by exec order? yeah real transparent! NOT

@Sciuser10 she has a challenger named richard curtis who is really progressive...and he is running as an independent

Senator Murray voted for NAFTA, WTO, China NTR, and CAFTA. Senator Murray also voted for the American Competitivenes act which brought in 300,000 engineers and computer programers. She also voted for S2611 which would have given amnesty to 11 million illegal aliens. These actions hurt American workers. Murray is poison to the American People. I hope my fellow Americans realize this before it is too late and vote 3d party.

like it or not we are becoming more like the rest of the developed world, more liberalized and I believe this is a good thing. The 21st century will be a progressive era.

Aaprantly you don't know history. "Progressives came to be completely SHUNNED by the american public after a few DISASTEROUS decades... they couldn't even use the name "progressive" anymore. Everything from the PROGRESSIVE income tax (gee... it wasn't a temporary, wartime tax after all!) to the SEGREGATING of the MILITARY... people had enough. They faded into the "liberal democratic" arena. They came back out by name during Clinton's term. Their back, and THEY WANT YOUR MONEY yet again...
