What an incredible losing streak
And the team is the Progressives. I'd say since the Johnson Administration, we've pretty much been completely ignored. But look what we're up against. More money than grains of sand on the beach. And one billion dollar right wing think tank after another. They've locked up Washington, period.

Now that they're having incredible success without having a majority in any of the branches, just wait'll next year.

Lube up, we're fucked.

2. Hold on! This president has accomplished the most progressive
legislation in 40 years.....:sarcasm:

I don't know what is more pathetic, this attempted defense of the Insurance deal Health care bill, or if people, mostly Obama defenders, actually believe it.

4. I don't think it's a losing streak. I'm afraid
things are going as planned.

10. We had the National Village Idiot to do the damage, and the "Hope and Change" President...

...to sell it to us.

11. What we didn't lose:
31 million more with access to health insurance...
Consumer protection against mortgage fraud and credit card vultures....
millions whose unemployment check would have expired before Christmas....and now won't....
tax cuts for the middle class that actually count for something, like about 3K per year
per family.
Social security tax break of 2 percent for those who need it the most.

and you choose to see that as a losing streak?

Then be prepared.....because lube won't be enough, when folks like you
help the Republicans win everything in 2012.

You will show us....
and then we will watch you get yours without lube.
And we won't feel sorry for you either.....
cause it will have been earned......as some here have worked very hard on
this so called "disgust".....going on almost two years.

12. I guess this is how "minorities" have felt
through the years - knowing they are permanently outnumbered, outpowered, disrespected, ignored, scoffed at, stepped on, laughed off.

13. Progressives have always been
a minority. Having high morals and standards is rare I guess.

14. This isn't a loss for the team. It's a compromise, containing much victory for our side.
The terrible, terrible loss is what we're handing to our children and senior citizens.
