Reply #27: Even granting that, Obama's picks fucking suck ass. Stern is the only decent selection

Reid's picks are craps on average. Pelosi was FAIR & BALANCED. Of course the TeaPubliKlans are all awful with Ryan being the "brain" for the puke vision.

If Obama has some reason of value to be even handed (which he wasn't, he leaned corporate right) then Reid and Pelosi absolutely could not be allowed to take the same approach because the Republicans don't play that game and now couldn't if they desired because of how radical their caucus is.

Hamsher didn't lie as you admit. You may not feel her perspective is fair to yours but she is under no obligation to make your case. What facts are in dispute?

I don't think you can look at the indivduals and expect solutions that are good for working people.

This deserves to be hammered and should be derailed. I'd love to chow down on some crow on this one but I see nothing to indicate I will be pleased with what they come up with. It is a very conservative group. Very. Who the hell does anyone think is that 5th vote to stop anything that is utterly radioactive? Between Beccera, Durbin, and Stern it isn't hard to imagine one falling off at times.

Looks shitty to me, you can't raise too much of an alarm. The worst thing is to be asleep for a debacle. If nothing much happens then they'll be back for more in a few years. When these people are talking deficit they are almost exclusively talking Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.
