New Obama Slogan: "Give the Republicans an inch, they'll take a mile...so just give them two miles."

[FLAprogressive]

Republicans got 78% of the fucking cuts they wanted?! WTF?!

How long will people take this? We control 2/3 of the fucking government, yet Repubs get over 3/4 of the cuts they wanted. You have got to be fucking kidding me.

The Planned Parenthood holdup is pure politics from Reid/Obama....their "saving" Planned Parenthood is going to be an excuse for selling us out on every other fucking thing. They want to come out from this and say "Hey liberals, we protected Planned Parenthood....we cut everything else for the poor and middle class, but WE SAVED PLANNED PARENTHOOD. Give us your money and your votes. Love, Barack."

So despicable.

1. haven't you heard? we just don't understand civics

it's not capitulating it's negotiating


I would like to know what the cuts were made to what programs.
as far as I can see everything is behind close doors.

3. Yeah, I've seen that line spread by the victims of Stockholm Syndrome. Since when did compromise

mean giving the other side almost everything?

4. Why do you buy the propaganda?

Your post is ridiculous as they are getting no where near what they want. Everyday I hear them talking about trillions in cuts, defunding health care, social security, medicare, etc. etc. They get a few billion in cuts and you act like they got everything they want. This is nonsense. Absolute nonsense.

Have people lost they're minds? Where do you get the idea that they got 78% of the cuts they wanted? Because that's what they're selling to you?

7. Oh, so you source another DU member who has also bought

the propaganda? No wonder we can't get anywhere. Everytime we win something we tell each other we've lost. When the republicans lose, they tell everybody they've won.

We're always snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

[FLAprogressive]

8. Victory? What victory?

[Solomon]

12. Have you not been hearing what the republicans are trying to do?

They've already lost this round in that the fight is over less than $100 billion. They want to cut trillions, they want to gut social security, medicaid, medicare, health care. They can't do it. But you guys are whining that they are getting everything they want. It's ridiculous.

And to the other poster, I have no idea what your "projection" posts are all about. You guys are the ones keep talking about caving, bending over, and all this other shit and the last I heard there's still a stalemate.

But don't let me ruin your pity party. By all means have at it.

Am I right?

13. Obama : Capitulator in Chief

He is the weakest Democratic POTUS since Franklin Pierce.

[_ed_]

14. He actually gave them 78.5 billion miles

At some point, we need to realize that we elected either (1) the worst politician in the universe or (2) someone who agrees ideologically with the Republicans. After watching his election to Pres., (1) is impossible... So where does that leave us?
