Democrats... Like herding cats |
|
HCR is taking so long because democrats can never agree to just vote together. Our party gets blackmailed by a couple of senators. Totally disgusting. Then once those holdouts are appeased, another group sees what went down and whats their share of the pie. Its like a bunch of 6 year olds! I never saw the republicans have this problem.
Now that we had everyone fat and happy, we lose MA. Didn't anyone think of this? There was no point in bowing down to Nelson, Lieberman, etc. For running such a kick ass campaign in 2008, Rahm and crew sure haven't been as forward thinking as the could be. Oh well I guess.

2. That's the goal of corporate politics |
|
Buy both parties. Keep people going back and forth. Many will just drop out altogether, realizing the futility of it.
Others, who demand their parties bend to the will of the people, will be shouted down by Dittocrats or banned from political websites for questioning their party.

6. Yeah, it's seemingly the perfect scam. However, they didn't count on |
|
the information era and capabilities of the Internet.
We CAN ORGANIZE.
WE MUST ORGANIZE lest we succumb to this VILE system: A corrupt right-wing duopoly.

Everyone wants their own little pet project. Why can't they compromise with something that makes sense? What we got now makes no sense at all.

7. Wailing on this old adage will get nothing done. Do something or drop out. |

That's what I'm going to do: Get involved in LIBERAL causes on my local level. :thumbsup:
