Where are the Democrats

Where are the Democrats when it comes to fighting back. The Repukes were able to block President Obama's Court of Appeals appointment and Democrats only raise some sort of token push back about it..They said "Well we are going to push for a rule change etc etc. My point is had this been the Republicans they would be yelling and screaming like some the spoiled kid till dooms day. Democrats just don't come out in force and fight.Just like in 2012 they allowed the Repukes to take Bush's financial crisis deficit and blame it on the Democrats,while the Democrats said nothing. And now with the Health Care Bill they have allowed the Rpeukes to gain more public support through their propaganda tactics.Democrats just dont come out in force and stand up to the Republicans and it has always (in my opinion) been like this. So when in the hell are they going to learn.If Democrats don't fight back it could be another 2012 all over again and the shutdown will be only a faint memory. Democrats should be out in force on the Sunday talk shows but no we'll probably keep hearing about how bad Obama care is BS

hardly ever hear the Democrats' side of the story. But as far as the talk shows go, we don't have control over who they pick to be guests. It seems the liberal media just love to stack their panels with Republicans, and often the most radical and outspoken of the lot. The few Dems they choose are like Debbie Wasserman Schultz. It seems that it's always been this way.

in Congress rarely find a fight they aren't willing to concede. Actually, they usually cave before the right even begins to whine.
But isn't that what the Corportists want, control of two parties, we get a couple of the others.
