Republicans, moderates and the media don't get it: The old thinking doesn't work.
Edited on Thu Feb-05-09 03:49 PM by BurtWorm
This is an economic disaster they need to be working on averting, and it's a disaster the old thinking--about balanced budgets, tax cuts, spending cuts--caused it.

The Republicans don't need to be cajoled and coaxed and humored into going along. They need to be dragged along.

The people have been fooled into thinking that just because they got the president they wanted, they're going to get everything else they want to. They've forgotten that there are still Republicans, moderates and media to fuck it all up.


It's easy to say, so I'm saying it. :patriot:

1. Why do you hate America, BurtWorm?
Why, I'll bet you don't even have a flag pin to wear on your lapel! (The symbol of a true patriot, you know.) :rofl:

:sarcasm:

2. They do not need to be dragged along, they may more easily be left behind.

3. Right. Out of the way or underfoot.
That's how they seem to want it. They should get what they want.
