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 |

A thirst for monarchy may be the only really bi-partisan thing in American politics.

|
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.

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.
