They Make My Head Explode
There had better be a really fucking brilliant strategy behind the latest Democratic capitulation on Iraq. If there isn't, I hope they're prepared to lose seats next year.
Personally, I'll never regret supporting the party. They're better than the other bunch. But it's days like today when they make my head explode. I can tolerate the fact that I'm more progressive than some of the party leaders, but I simply can't swallow the party's cowardice in the face of an incompetent, unpopular White House.
You'd think that for no other reason than pride, Democrats would decide to fight. I mean, they can't stop telling us how tough they are by voting for "let's bomb Iraq" and "let's bomb Iran" resolutions. But people then elect them to do such quaint things as "lead" and "fight". So what happens when they don't? Congressional ratings keep tanking, we get headlines like these, and people think, "well, Democrats sure are wimps." Actually, "wimp" would be an improvement over the word they really use, but it's not politically correct so I won't use it. But you know what it is.

These are trying times for people outside the Beltway. The Dems have folded - the Republicans are simply obstructing everything.
And nothing is being accomplished.
Congress sucks in general, we are heading for a recession probably, people cannot afford healthcare, gas prices are skyrocketing - things are good all over aren't they?
And why is this courtesy of the Dems?
We've had a Republican House, Senate and Administration for almost 7 years.
That is where the responsibility for most of this crass mess lies. I believe there are many people who may not be saying a lot, but they are reading, and absorbing and they are very opinionated.
My prediction is a Dem majority for at least the next 3 elections. The pendulum will swing back fast, and hard.
If I'm wrong, I'll admit it, but you can only push people so far before they smack you back.

I won't be doing that, but I might be banning a troll just because I can. Don't fucking push me.

Wow, Bob, you're sooooo tough. Fuck you, ass wipe. You're probably the Vincenzo Sisi type, just waiting to be arrested.
Consider yourself pushed.
