Isn't it odd how the Republicans are totally down and out and completely in control of our Govt. ?

[Kablooie]

Seems even a small minority of unpopular Republicans can still steer the whole political mechanism towards their own goal.

1. Well it does help when your real constituents create most of the GDP. And they wedge off the weak

very well.

[babylonsister]

2. Hahaha! How are they completely in control?

Seriesly?!

[Kablooie]

3. Just watch as any meaningful health plan gets washed down the sink.

[babylonsister]

4. Sigh. OK, I'll watch, but my hopes are higher.

And health reform is VERY important to me. I'm not willing to kill the idea yet.

[Kablooie]

5. it just seems the conservatives are very well organized to destroy things. Hard to compete.

[babylonsister]

12. No. The rethugs are losers, and don't you forget it.

Unless you believe Beck, et al, and I don't think you do.

[HughMoran]

6. Yep - Baucus, Conrad et al are the worst kind of Republicans

I hope you've emailed the 5 Democrats to tell them how disgusted you are with their behavior.

7. It's the monied, corporate interests now in control, & repukes are their puppets

The DINOS are puppets, too.

[tridim]

8. The Republics are in control of jack squat.

After HCR reform passes let's make sure that it stays that way.

[babylonsister]

11. I agree. Why is this thread such a downer?

[Kablooie]

15. Because I'm in a down mood tonight. I'm shocked that this thead got to the greatest page.

And the thRead got voted up too.

[travelingtypist]

9. Does seem like that, doesn't it?

Makes me wonder -- can't we do to the minority of Blue Dogs holding this ship up the same thing we did to, oh, Tester's opponent or to Mr. Macaca?

Seriously, if we need 300 in the House and 70 in the Senate, we can get them. We didn't get this far by being p-words.

[timeforpeace]

10. Don't you think blaming them for all ills whether they are in or out of power is denial?

[NoSheep]

13. Follow the money.
