It doesn't matter WHAT Democrats do as far as rethugs are concerned

[meow2u3]

If Dems try to compromise with a Bushie, the rethugs will brand us as appeasers; if Dems fight back against the rethugs, they will tar and feather us as obstructionists.

We Dems can't win either way with these beasts. We're damned if we do and damned if we don't.

1. yeah...and I will say this...I never have seen

the Dems act that way when we were in power.

3. Dems have always treated the opposition with respect.

Even when it wasn't deserved. The _repukes have lowered the discourse in this country to a dangerous level.

BTW, My hubby and I voted for you, and even though you didn't beat _{blowhard jd}, I was impressed with your numbers. :thumbsup:

2. That is the problem. I say, go for obstruction at every chance. n/t

4. Republicans *need* their constituency to hate the Democrats.

They run on that anger. So yep- no matter what Democrats do, they will be villified. They must realize that- but still they keep "reaching out".

5. To Thine own self be true...

or however you spell Thine.

6. That's exactly why I say F*** them! Let 'em reach out (ha ha). Their

damn arms can fall off waiting for me.

7. We should not be REacting to their moves.

We must move forward as ACTORS not REactors.

[Amigust]

8. So why worry about what they say about us. It will NEVER be

complimentary if we are standing our ground or moving ahead.
