So... Basically... The Party Of Whack-Job-Nuts And The Party Of Spineless Noodles...

[WillyT]

have agreed to make the lame duck session, where there will be NO political consequences for their votes, the arena of serious policy debate.

No wonder all are hated.

:evilfrown:

From Romeo and Juliet:

Where be these enemies? Capulet! Montague!
See, what a scourge is laid upon your hate,
That heaven finds means to kill your joys with love!
And I, for winking at your discords too,
Have lost a brace of kinsmen. All are punish'd.

:shrug:

1. Trying to cram a bunch of stuff in to distract from the cat food commission vote?

[babylonsister]

2. Sounds like you need to find another party. Good luck.

:hi:

[WillyT]

4. Maybe... Yet

I'll be voting for Jerry Brown, Barbara Boxer, and Ami Bera against Dan Lungren. Plus Prop 19 and 25 to name a couple.

If DiFi were on the ballot, not so much.

:shrug:

[Zenlitened]

17. "Motivational Speaker" is not on your resume, huh?

[mymomwasright]

3. They're not all spineless

Patrick Murphy (PA) seems like he has some oomph! Too bad he doesn't decide.

[WillyT]

6. Oh I Agree... Just Too Bad The Spineful Are In The Minority

Grayson, Weiner, Franken, Sanders... to name a few.

:hi:

[JanMichael]

10. While I agree about the nonspineless list - Sanders is not a Democrat.

He's a weak Socialist, not a hard SOCIALIST economically, but a moderate American socialist.

I'd like the guy in person but I fall two clicks to the LEFT of him.

[Ozymanithrax]

12. The European term is Social Democrat. n/t

[WillyT]

13. He's What Used To Be A Democrat

And better than most, currently.

:shrug:

5. K&R for the Romeo & Juliet quote

Nice!

[WillyT]

8. LOL !!!

Thanks!

:)

7. The Rasmussen poll w/51% favoring full extension melted their iron spines.

Seriously, the tax extension issue was a gift and the most favorable election issue I've ever seen for Democrats and yet we punted the ball. Even the White House recognized we had a winner and seemed willing to go out until November and hammer the point that Republicans would not let anybody have a tax cut until the richest got theirs first.

A sure winner . . . gone. Break out the profiles in courage award for Congressional Dems.

[WillyT]

9. Exactly

:banghead:

:shrug:

:hi:

[depakid]

11. I'd have used another R&J quote to express the electorate's opinion

MERCUTIO:
I am hurt.
A plague o' both your houses! I am sped.

[sad sally]

14. in other words...We just want to get out of here without taking any more votes.

[K8-EEE]

15. I'll take the spineless noodles for $500, Alex

Seriously ANYTHING IS BETTER THAN THE INSANITY OF THE TEABAGGERS! And, we got some FANTASTIC dems, Boxer, Franken, Grayson. Come on. Agreed that the blue dogs suck but come on DEMS ARE BETTER!

[MadHound]

16. This style of "leadership" which has become increasingly popular

Is not healthy for us and our country.
