With Democrats like these...who needs republicans? |
|
Seriously.
I am terrified at what the next few days will bring. I was listening to the Ed Show and heard that the Teabaggers aren't going to agree to anything. Also speculation that the Democrats will cave in to the republican terrorists demands to keep the country from defaulting.
Our country is one that is being held hostage in Washington by terrorists that were funded by Murdoch.
Any way you slice it, nothing good is going to come out of this. NOTHING. We will bring NOTHING home...except Granny's bones in a bag.
I'm getting tired of sharing our country with ALL of these folks. I know there are enlightened, intelligent people out there.
But there aren't ANY in Washington.:(

1. There are a lot of intelligent people in Washington. |
|
They are called politicians. There are a lot of voters in the US. They are ignorant. How else could the bad guys get elected?

There is ZERO intelligence in DC politics.
They are so fringe from the rest of us that it isn't funny.

4. That's what they were talking about. |
|
Said the Democrats would "hold their nose" and cross the aisle to vote with the republicans to keep the country from failing.
In other words--republicans are going to get everything they want...democrats are going to be dry-fucked again.

6. In the game of chicken, the Dems will always lose. |
|
And the GOP knows this so they will challenge the Dems at every opportunity.
And when the results affect people's lives adversely, the Dems get the blame because they voted for something they didn't even believe in.

Yep. They have been beat to a pulp. A runny useless pulp. Time to head for the hills, because really, the end can't come soon enough.
Teabaggers are winning.

9. Do they not believe in what they vote for? That's what they tell |
|
us but a lot of people are now wondering about that now.
If the held out, Republicans would never let the country go into default because they know what that would do. Not only to their chances of being reelected, but to their own personal accounts and those of their rich buddies.
All Dems have to do is call their bluff, but they never do, and Repubs know this. Like the schoolyard bully so long as the victim keeps handing over their lunch money, the bully will keep demanding it. But one punch in the nose from the victim would solve that problem pretty quickly.

You are a true fighter, not at all like most of the whimp-ass types we see here.
