Reply #56: And then there is a smaller group who think they know 'how things

[sabrina 1]

work' and don't much care that their confidence in their own superiority, has been proven so wrong so often, as is apparent at this very moment.

Indeed it was the contention of this small group that the current WH policies of capitulation and compromise and bi-partisanship would work. The larger group disagreed, not being political operatives but just ordinary Americans with some common sense, it was clear to most of them that caving to bullies leads to exactly where we are today.

That larger group who 'want what they want' which is btw 'what is best for this country not for Wall St. gamblers', appear once again to have been correct. Too bad they didn't get what they 'wanted', or as often referred to by that that smaller group, 'their ponies'. Giving ponies to Teabaggers, and they apparently have received plenty of them from Democrats, worked out just as anyone with an ounce of common sense actually predicted. Too bad we didn't get any ponies.

So how do you explain the brilliance of policies that have brought the country to where it is now, AFTER that 'larger group' handed Democrats a majority in both houses and the WH, which they promptly threw away by refusing to actually fight for policies that would make this a better country, and spent much of those first two years 'compromising' with bullies?

That smaller groups' constant refrain that 'politics is all about compromise' has now been played out and I, as a member of that larger, far more, according to you, ignorant group of DUers, am sorry to say we were right.

Now, maybe, although learning that lesson has cost us a lot, we can return to some common sense policies, which should include 'stop giving ponies to Tea-baggers and start handing them out to those who elected you'. For a change.
