1. That's a very damning list of the actions of the gop.

A big thanks for posting.

2. Can't be said often enough. From one of the links:

Celebrating the glorious success of the GOP Government Shutdown!

Published on October 2, 2014 by The Daily Edge in The Cutting Edge



...For some inexplicable reason, all of the consequences of the GLORIOUS REPUBLICAN SHUTDOWN are not being reported 24-7 on Fox News and other media outlets. Some people are even claiming that the GOP-lead shutdown was “no big deal”. So, to make sure you don’t forget on this one year anniversary, here are some of the consequences of the 2013 government shutdown instigated by our great American conservatives:

...Because of the shutdown, the Centers for Disease Control had “reduced capacity to respond to outbreak investigations, processing of laboratory samples, and maintaining emergency operations.” Which is great, because here in America we never had to worry about the spread deadly infectious diseases, right?

– Because of the shutdown, more than 2 million hardworking Americans’ paychecks were affected, food safety operations ceased, and benefits for veterans, women, infants and children were disrupted.

– But most important of all, the GOP shutdown achieved the larger goal Republicans were seeking: It sent the entire US economy into a tailspin–our GDP shrank 2.1% in the first full quarter following the shutdown!

Much more at the link, as they've promised more of the same... Until the entire federal government is nothing more than a tool of the Koch brothers:

5. They are trying to shut us down in more was than one.

They don't want us voting. The media hacks are out in full force. So many claims that Dems are going to lose big time.

There is so much hand wringing. Why vote, we are going to lose anyway. They are not progressive enough for me, screw voting for them! My vote doesn't matter. I hate Obama and Dems are all losers. Dem=GOP, so why the hell should I vote. Now that is a winning attitude, dontcha think freshwest.

As you quoted:

...For some inexplicable reason, all of the consequences of the GLORIOUS REPUBLICAN SHUTDOWN are not being reported 24-7 on Fox News and other media outlets.

I VOTE!

[freshwest]

7. I already voted against 2 Libertarian initiatives on my state ballot - cleverly worded to obscure

their NRA talking points and school privatization plans at the cost to the poor, elderly and disabled!

It's sadly proven effective in an area that has lost its liberal media presence, replaced with TeaParty, Libertariana and CT talking points.

We have a state legislature on the edge of giving the same groups running under the GOP, the voting majority. They made the state run with no budget part of last year because they wanted to renege on the liberal budget deal.

Our slim hold is in danger because the Democrats are no longer good enough for those groups who target only Democrats, not the GOP. Thus ALEC wins!

Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right and here I am stuck in the middle with you. I'm ticked off, but glad you got my back.

[sheshe2]

13. You voted!!!!

I hope you win!

We have way to tight a race for Governor, shouldn't really be happening, yet it is. That said, we vote.

Yes freshwest, I have your back.

[Fred Sanders]

3. Don't get angry, VOTE! Stop the GOP or live with their politics of fear and stupidity.

Just kidding, get angry, vote and get some more folks angry and bring them with you.

If you do not hate the GOP and fear their regressive, repulsive, anti-Christian policies, then you have not been listening, you have been manipulated.

Thank you, SheShe2.

What happened to SheShe1?

[sheshe2]

4. There never was a 1 that I know of Fred.

I put 2 to mean also. One of the little ones couldn't pronounce my name, so for awhile they called me sheshe.

Thanks for responding~

GOTV!

6. Too Bad Obama And Hillary Cower To The GOP

Obama is a conservative himself and Hillary is a Republican Hawk/Banker mostly...we need serious rescuing

[sheshe2]

9. I have to ask myself every time I read your posts....

Why exactly are you on a Democratic board? You don't seem to support them. Please give me a link where you do.

Thank you in advance.

[Fred Sanders]

19. Great point, I second the emotion. Lot of folks on this site trolling around the edges...

I support the party and the President 100%....even if some folks do not...have you freaking looked at the monsters across the hall?

[billhicks76]

21. Lame Argument

I support or reject policies not people btw. The GoodCopBadCop look at the alternative is a political scam. Fight for something.

[NanceGreggs]

31. Your vote counts either way.

It's a vote for the Dem, or a vote against the Repub. And a vote for a third party is a vote neither for nor against anyone, because in the end, it doesn't count.

So the "GoodCopBadCop look at the alternative is a political scam"? Tell me about that.

[billhicks76]

42. Rigged

Wall St and the military industrial complex wins either way. They get their monster on the right in or they have a corporate democrat that continues the same policies. We are supposed to be happy because the alternative could be worse. That's emotional blackmail and when someone does that to you you're supposed to stop playing their stupid game and get serious. We need to purge republican-lite from our party and elect more progressive candidates and stop playing footsie with the Rethuglicans. Also this is the same technique that is played by cops with good cop bad cop game...but they're both still cops trying to screw you.

[NanceGreggs]

46. Sorry ...

... not into conspiracy theories.

[billhicks76]

20. That's Insulting

Sorry I'm disappointed in Obama and turned off by Hillary. But in case you didn't notice there are elections other than the executive. At the executive level I'm sorry to tell you since you apparently didn't notice on your own that OUR party had been hijacked by corporations who are led by Republicans but have some Democratic lackeys. My favorite Presidents are JFK and Jimmy Carter. Trying to smugly roll your eyes and insinuate I'm "not one of you" actually sounds like something a Republican would say. But thank goodness Elizabeth Warren indicated she's open to running for President today. Check out a The Nation.

[sheshe2]

22. Well first off~

Elizabeth Warren is my Senator. She is our first woman Senator ever from Massachusetts!

Elizabeth Warren

Senator Elizabeth Warren is widely credited for the original thinking, political courage, and relentless persistence that led to the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. President Obama asked her to set up the new agency to hold Wall Street banks and other financial institutions accountable, and to protect consumers from financial tricks and traps often hidden in mortgages, credit cards and other financial products.

In the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, Warren served as Chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). Her independent and tireless efforts to protect taxpayers, to hold Wall Street accountable, and to ensure tough oversight of both the Bush and Obama Administrations won praise from both sides of the aisle. The Boston Globe named Elizabeth Warren Bostonian of the Year and TIME Magazine called her a "New Sheriff of Wall Street" for her oversight efforts.

During her campaign for the Senate, Elizabeth promised to fight for middle class families and to make sure that everyone has a fair shot to get ahead. She called for policies that would level the regulatory playing field for small businesses and ensure that everyone - even large and powerful corporations - pays a fair share in taxes and is held accountable for breaking the law.

Senator Warren was a law professor for more than 30 years, including nearly 20 years as the Leo Gottlieb Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. The graduating class at Harvard twice recognized her with the Sacks-Freund Award for excellence in teaching. National Law Journal named her one of the Most Influential Lawyers of the Decade, TIME Magazine twice named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world, and she has been honored by the Massachusetts Women's Bar Association with the Lelia J. Robinson Award.

Sure hope you are not accusing me of being a Republican. And as for Warren running, nope, I take her at her word, just like I did when I voted for her.

[billhicks76]

25. Annoying

It's you who accused me of being a Republican but unlike some weasels on this site I didn't flag you for it. It's your problem that you like conservative Democrats not mine. And I was trying to tell you that Elizabeth pivoted today according to The Nation. Check it out.

[sheshe2]

27. I asked you why you were here when you never seem to support Dems.

I know you tried to tell me Elizabeth pivoted today...many here tell me she doesn't mean what she says. Nah, not going in search of an article, you want me to read it then post the link.

[billhicks76]

28. I Do Support Democrats

Many of them. I feel betrayed by Obama like most Democrats do. And I've never felt Hillary, the President Of The College Republicans turned War Hawk abroad and at home, as a Liberal. It's bad enough to have to deal with Republican criminals but when our own aren't who they portrayed themselves as and they cover-up for or actually participate in Republican crimes then we have a problem. I wish you would police them as much as you do me but power and status obviously cloud peoples judgement. Here's the link on Elizabeth :

[billhicks76]

29. I Have A Question

It may sound absurd to some but I believe someone is leveraging something against Obama or someone in his admin. I believe he is a good guy but I cannot explain the countless reversals from no lobbyists in regulatory positions to transparency to spying on all US citizens. Today it was reported that they want to bring torture back and except cruel and unusual punishment protections abroad. Can you believe it? Bringing back torture? What the hell is going on? I don't think presidents are in charge anymore...intelligence agencies and contractors are.

[Andy823]

39. Good question She.

There are a lot of posters here I ask myself the same question. It's so damned obvious that some here are not what they claim to be, and they come here to divide DU, not to unite DU. The follow the crowd of "doom and bloomers" the ones who say both parties are alike, the president is a piece of S, the democratic party stand for nothing, and on and on. The only reason the get so many recs is because of all the hate they post, and if you ask me, most of those who rec them are probably not even liberals, democrats or progressives.

[SoapBox]

8. Excellent post.

[freshwest]

10. Yes it is!

[napkinz]

11. Amen!!!

[sheshe2]

12. napkinz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yup stop them one and all!

Enough! GOTV 2014!

[baldguy]

14. The GOP is light-years worse than the Democrats, on any & every issue you can think of.

There's absolutely no comparison between the two parties, at any level.

That's why I'm always suspicious of anyone running down good, hard-working Democrats, with spurious and specious claims that they're exactly the same as the GOP, and instead advocating support for some pie-in-the-sky 3rd party troll with no chance of winning - especially when they boast of their supposed "progressive" credentials with an arrogant, more-liberal-than-thou attitude, especially with less than three weeks before an election!

[sheshe2]

17. I am standing and clapping here!

Well said baldguy!

[herding cats]

15. I totally agree with your post and I'd like to add one more John Lewis quote if you don't mind.

To make it hard, to make it difficult almost impossible for people to cast a vote is not in keeping with the democratic process. ~ John Lewis

I vote like we're still fighting for our rights, because we are.

[sheshe2]

18. I love that quote from John Lewis!

And..

I vote like we're still fighting for our rights, because we are.

I so very much agree with you, herding cats.

[uppityperson]

36. GOTV, get more voting, not less.

[arcane1]

37. I hate these people more than just about any other group. "Don't vote" my ass!!

Replying to you since the post was hidden

[uppityperson]

38. Their "logic" was fewer and fewer people are voting, feeling they arenot being heard or represented

so even more of should not vote to "send a message" rather than getting more to vote to send the message.

Seriously, wtf? Yeah, I'm not gonna vote, that'll show them! wtf.


GOTV

[arcane1]

40. And let the winner be the candidate with the most friends and family

[mountain grammy]

41. I voted, straight Democratic ticket

and for a labeling requirement for GMO's not a great law, but we have to start somewhere.

All the seats in our county are unopposed Republicans. I left those squares blank.
