friends are tuned in.

During a party on Friday, many of my friends with an R after their name, were talking about the Republicans refusing to help the 911 responders because they could not attach a tax cut for their corporate buddies to the bill. They seemed to feel that the 911 bill deserved an up or down vote (up or down vote, where have I heard this before), not this 2/3 crap.

Since the oil spill, there has been a lot of rumors concerning the health of the responders, vomiting blood, passing blood, no "official" reports, but everyone has "heard" about it. They know how the Republicons will vote for the responders of the Gulf Coast.

The most interesting thing that happened was a former hardcore Republicon, one of the hardest of the hardcore, asked if anyone had seen that guy telling everyone to sit down and shut up while it was his turn to talk, and, if you believed in it you should vote for it. I asked, you mean Anthony Weiner. Yea, he said, Anthony Weiner. Anthony Weiner was his kind of guy.

I pointed out that he lost, but several people told me, at least he fought.

Americans prefer fighters. If you are going to lie down and roll over every time anyone says no, the people are not going to listen.
