In reply to the discussion: the lies of David W, Corn [View all]treestar
(82,383 posts)122. Yes. This is not 2010.
There is No excuse now for the bashing from the left. They can't even claim that Obama has the House like they could 2009-2011. If it was illogical to help elect a Repuke House in 2010 as "punishment" to the Dems for not being progressive enough, it is not just plan clear, that anyone who wants a more Repuke house for 2014 is just a right wing troll. How is the current House going to pass anything progressive and in fact not pull to the right? And those who wanted to punish the Dems in 2010 can look in the mirror.

Why are you saying that Obama can do no right? Do you need a link to "The List"?

Actually, Obama had to raise taxes on those under 250k to do what you claim is "nothing".

That was a real 'tell'. It invalidates whatever wandering point the OP was trying to make.
