Can someone explain to me why the Democrats...

[SHRED]

...when in the majority and control of the Executive Branch seem to cower to Republicans?
Afraid of fillibusters and apparently afraid of their own shadows?

WHY IS HARRY REID THE FACE OF THE SENATE? and...
WHY THE FUCK DO WE HEAR SO MUCH ABOUT THE GOD DAMN REPUBLICANS ALL THE TIME??

Excuse my cussing but I am mad.
:mad:

1. It's frustrating. We like to be 'inclusive'. Ugh! nt

[SHRED]

3. They need to ignore the damn Repubs and...

...get on with the people's business.

[Captain Hilts]

5. Agree. But this is the same crowd that had Daschel as our leader. Ugh!

2. Understandable

We are in the majority, but you wouldn't necessarily get that impression from watching the Republicans act like they own the place.

4. "Excuse my cussing but I am mad." No need to apologize; language is not your enemy.

I believe the answer is that while we Democrats may control the majority of elected offices, we don't control any of the so-called unelected institutions: courts, schools and the media.

Whatever the issue is, we may be able to have some say in legislation, we don't control the manipulation of the message.

6. Because the Corporations control ALL politicians....

Diane Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid... all bought and sold.

Until Americans say ENOUGH.. and get pissed.. nothing is going to change.

7. they've even admitted it

the corporations and the banks own everyone of the so called peoples elected representatives cept maybe Kucinich. George Carlin told the story about it a long time ago. it's true.

8. Vote Republican for president, vote for a Republican Congress ...

... and you get a Republican government.

Vote Democratic for president, vote for a Democratic Congress ... and you get a Republican government.
What's the use?
