Republicans are normally more active then the Democrat’s during off year elections, giving them an advantage over the Democrats in putting more Republicans in the House and Senate. <br /><br />Whatever is needed to wake-up and get the Democrats to vote during these off-year elections must be done. Whether it’s advertising in the media, making the Democrats more aware that Republicans out vote Democrats during these elections, or just calling Democrats asking them to please get out and vote, and why its needed.m bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15613077834795914289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-26871177919820299852016-03-10T12:34:24.152-09:002016-03-10T12:34:24.152-09:00And the former first lady kept a close eye on the ...And the former first lady kept a close eye on the Republican party, dismayed by the direction it has taken in recent years. <br /><br />"She remained as sharp as ever and was aware of just about everything going on in Washington and in politics, but always was interested in knowing more," says (Judy) Woodruff. "I'll never forget the time we spoke in 2008 just after the Republican nominee for president, Senator John McCain, had chosen Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate. I spoke with Mrs. Reagan on the phone, and her first comment was, 'What in the world was he thinking in picking that woman?'

That’s why it’s pretty surprising that the guy on whom the Wall Street character was based—former corporate raider Asher Edelman—says Bernie Sanders is the strongest presidential candidate. <br /><br />Appearing on CNBC’s "Fast Money" this morning, Edelman responded immediately when asked who he thought the best candidate for the economy would be.<br /><br />“Bernie Sanders,” Edelman said, without missing a beat. “No question.”<br /><br />Asked to elaborate, Edelman stated his case. <br /><br />“Well, I think it’s quite simple," he began. "If you look at something called ‘velocity of money’—you guys know what that is, I presume—that means how much gets spent and turns around. When you have the top one percent getting money, they spend five, 10 percent of what they earn. When you have the lower end of the economy getting money, they spend 100, or 110 percent of what they earn.<br /><br /> As you’ve had a transfer of wealth to the top, and a transfer of income to the top, you have a shrinking consumer base, basically, and you have a shrinking velocity of money. Bernie is the only person out there who I think is talking at all about both fiscal stimulation and banking rules that will get the banks to begin to generate lending again as opposed to speculation. So from an economic point of view, it’s straightforward.”<br /><br />http://www.alternet.org/election-2016/shocker-real-gordon-gekko-just-endorsed-bernie-sanders?akid=14050.1075399.UpSZ97&rd=1&src=newsletter1052314&t=2Barbara Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05463074148195784152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-66869751169382489932016-03-10T10:09:36.672-09:002016-03-10T10:09:36.672-09:00You know, as soon as 2012 was over, they started i...You know, as soon as 2012 was over, they started in on 2016.
