How long can the Democratic Party survive on the theme We're Not Them
Even Though We Act Like Them, But If You Don't Vote For Us, You Will Get Them

I'm looking for something better than that.

3. You nailed it.

I'm feeling duped that I believed there was a difference. They all need to go, and we need term limits. And any legislation that changes their pay, benefits, etc. needs a public referendum. I'm done with all these clowns.

4. You're crushing dreams here, sister, don't do it
Really though do they even pretend THAT much? As I said, if you think you can negotiate on good faith those that wish nothing but bad faith on you-whose to blame? Bi partisanship. HA! Obama thinks you can negotiate with the insane, the inane and the immoral. No, all you can do is defeat them. And as many many of us here would prefer Obama and the Dems as total losers that fought the good war and lost (I would fight for them forever if they fought for me) instead of total losers because they never fought anything.

Are we the party of pity?

Well they are even losing people around here, not to mention anyone that never totally identified with them in the first place-Independents.

9. You're right .
What I stated as the position of the Democratic Party was what they were putting out BEFORE this Supreme Court Decision.

The issues before us now are bigger, more awful and more profound by the day.

HCR was a corporate wet dream before this ruling. I can't even imagine what will happen to it now.

10. Indefinitely, unfortunately it also means spending allot of time out of power...
Why? Because people need to have a reason to vote against the Republicans.
