They have nothing to go on and think they can get away with these lies to the public without their media machine to bring those things known as FACTS up. I look forward to Palin bringing it up though. They will not silence that.

“”Which, mostly was racked up by a Republican House, a Republican Senate and a Republican President in the last 8 years.””
Well Tom, I will accept the part about the Republican President, but if memory serves, the Democrats were in charge of the House after the elections in 2006 until the election in 2010, and in the SENATE, Senator...the Democrats took over in 2006 as well, and STILL ARE IN CHARGE!!
Good Lord,
please,
give us strength.

When will the good people of Iowa retire this communist slug?
Harkin unto my voice Tom.
STFU!
"Shortly after taking office in 1985, Kerry and Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa went on a fact-finding trip to Nicaragua, where they met with Daniel Ortega (right) and other Sandinistas. The trip was criticized when the Sandinistas cemented ties with Moscow."

The only remedy for this type of malaise-in-office is to elect two conservative senators from some place unexpected (like two blue states) to neutralize his votes.
Sounds disheartening, but there's nothing else anyone can do with entrenched, beltway, elite members of the U.S. House of Lords who have 6 years to wreak their havoc.

Isn’t Harkin about 110 yrs old now? How is he able to do anything other than mumble and soil his diaper?
Better a cult-fringe of fiscal responsibility, patrotism, and social conservativism, then YOUR cult frings of Communism, death-worship, and embrace of our bitterest enemies.
"Democrats are willing to do whatever is necessary to raise the debt ceiling, not for future borrowing but to pay the debts that we racked up in the past. Which, mostly was racked up by a Republican House, a Republican Senate and a Republican President in the last 8 years. Yet, they're not willing to pay the bills," Harkin said.
Looks like Harkin Democrated the truth again. (I now use the word Democrat, as a verb. Ex: "Clinton Democrated about Lewinsky.")
