RT @NewsHoundEllen: Sen. Barasso just said on Fox, this is really Round 1 in a 15-round fight on entitlements & spending

1. First rule of Fight Club: Don't lose elections.
The number of people who expected nothing much to happen when the House -- the place where money bills originate, remember -- turned over continues to amaze me.

2. if people want to boycott the President that's one thing
but when are they going to learn it's Congress and the Senate that matters most.

3. "But all that 'Congress' stuff makes my eyes glaze over."
Edited on Sun Jul-31-11 04:03 PM by Davis_X_Machina
A thirst for monarchy may be the only really bi-partisan thing in American politics.

5. So true . It is imperative that
we support and elect strong Democrats in Congress and the Senate.

10. I don't care if you don't care
it means nothing to me. The only fucking vote that counts is the one that is cast or not cast.

11. In this state my party isn't even on the ballot.
I haven't cast an excited vote in decades.

9. How is that going to happen, when the DCCC, DNC, and DSCC fund Blue Dog candidates and refuse to
support real progressives?

13. That is where I will make my stand. We had a blue dog and
a progressive running here in CO against Crazy Fuck Ken Buck. Obama chose to come and campaign for the blue dog and he won. I have to laugh when people say we have failed to give Obama Democrats and progressives, hell he doesn't want them in office. I voted for Bennet because he was the lesser of two evils. That won't happen again. Next time that spot will be left blank.

I will not vote against my values again.

4. Of course, if you think they are held to an agreement with "He who is not one of us",
then you are sadly mistaken.

16. Entitlements and spending are simply sideshows
This is about fascist power. The less money our gov't has to spend, the less our government has to defend itself against fascism.
