Let's see if I have this straight.

[SoCalDem]

Obama won with a mandate, democrats creamed republicans all across the USA, and somehow, Olympia Snowe, Arlen Specter, and Susan Collins are now controlling all legislation?


Reminds me of our Iraq-Adventure..We blew a bundle of cash, wrecked the place, got thousands of soldiers killed, and Iran ends up "winning"..

And since our lame-ass media loves a "story", the only time they seem to have to spare, is somehow reserved for every whiny-crybaby republican they can find. One by one, these former nobodies are reveling in their spotlight-time, to weigh in on every nuance ..every comma, every dangling participle, and how that one thing will bring down the whole economy.

These people somehow ended up being economy experts, after having shepherded the largest financial debacle in history...and the media loves giving them the airtime, as if they really had somethine substantive to say.

I get the feeling that if the media was in charge of designing world globes, they would feel compelled to invite the "flat-earthers" to participate equally :grr:

1. Yes, adding the flat earthers would provide "balance".

[BOSSHOG]

2. Yeah but on the flip side, no liberals

are allowed into the discussions of Intelligent Falling at conservative think tanks as they attempt to explain gravity.

[SoCalDem]

3. That's because they would get all "science-y" and try to convince people

that a feather falls at the same rate as a cannonball:)

[BOSSHOG]

5. Fuck with their heads by asking them

which weighs more, a ton of lead or a ton of feathers?

[Ardent15]

4. You colud do a lot worse than Specter, Snowe, and Collins

A lot worse.

[SoCalDem]

6. True, but that's not the point..

The point is that EVERY piece of legislation is now held hostage, and must have the imprimatur of one of these republicans before anything happens..

It's gonna be a LONG 2 years:(

Republicans are experts at extortion-politics

[Winterblues]

7. What have any of them done that you have approved of?

Please name some Legislation they have put forth that has benefited America. I would be very interested to hear about it.

[Belial]

8. I don't know if its more about strategy or position at this point

If the stimulus fails to do anything significant.. they can all sit back and say I told you so. If it works out.. how are they in any worse position than they were? LOL
