Part of me wants Democrats to just say "fuck it" and act like Bushco.

[Avalux]

Obama starts using Executive Orders out the ass; uses fear to manipulate the masses; demands the media only write or report with prior authorization.

Congressional Dems tell the Pukes to filibuster and push them to the limit.

Then the other part of me doesn't want my party to be that way.

Guess that's the difference and why I am still shocked the right wing comes up with the shit they do.

1. I hear ya - so far, not the change I can believe in

...and we continue to place our beliefs in these people even though we're continuously lied to. What's that definition of insanity again?

2. A) You didn't vote for Obama... so it wasn't the "change YOU can believe in"

B) "Welcome to DU"

C) Enjoy your brief stay.

7. Thanks for your welcoming comments! I'll see you around the DU!

4. Your post is not relevant to my OP.

So why did you write that? I didn't criticize Obama or Dems.

9. Did you even read the OP?

You guys are not nearly as as you think you are.

3. One thing would prevent that from happening- a corporate media that is solidly anti-Democrat

5. Depends on whether you believe in the policies, or the decorum.

If the policies are important and good, then fuck decorum; push the policies through any way possible.

6. Good point.

To that I say - fuck decorum. ;)

8. Is that the "act like Bushco" part of you talking?

10. We could use a forceful Speaker of the House

A liberal "Newt Gingrich" would certainly be better than Nancy.

:hi:

11. I'm all for some of it.

Force the Rethugs to filibuster, fuck all decorum in Congress. We've got a majority, it's time to demand things be done our way.

For that matter, I'm all for making demands of the media in exchange for access - I'm tired of the Rupert Murdochs spewing lies - tell them that if they want access at all, they have to tell the truth.
