Democrats in the Senate....

[WCGreen]

Grow a pair.

Put the damn economic stimulus, the unemployment extension, money sent to State and Local governments so they can keep the basic function of government going on the table with an increase in taxes to the wealthy to pay for it and let the republicans pick sides.

Let the republicans come down on the side of the rich, the well to do, the hoity toity.

Let them choose between people eating and guys who walled away with millions while Wall Street melted down.

Let them say whose side are they on.

Oh but wait, we can't do that, fox News will yell at us.

Democrats, grow a pair.

A lot of you get it but there are too many in Congers who are more interested in staying in office than doing the job they were elected to do.

Democrat, grow a pair, make the GOP decide whose side they are on...

I am pissed. I am disgusted but mainly I am almost ready to say fuck it all.

But that is probably what they really want. To alienate even mor voters so that people have no stake in what goes in in Congress, in the State Capital Buildings and County buildings and City Halls acoss the country.

If people are disengaged, well that just mean they can get away with more...

1. they need to grow a big pair and pass some real reforms! we have the votes to do it!

[Unvanguard]

2. Unfortunately, no, we don't. n/t

[WCGreen]

3. But we could force a true deliniation between what it means to be

a democrat and what it means to be a republican...

It would be a great commercial to show the partisan vote with dems on the side of the working people and the GOP one the side of millionaires....

[Unvanguard]

6. Your tactical judgment may well be correct.

I don't know why Harry Reid isn't taking that approach; it worked with financial reform and earlier jobs bills. One possibility may be that he doesn't think it will work, perhaps with reason. Congress is clearly more hostile to this kind of spending than it was even a few months ago; he had to fight to even get the Democratic caucus on board.

4. You are right WCGreen

they need to vote for what is right and let the chips fall where they may.
Let the people sort it out from there

[WCGreen]

5. That's what they should be doing....

[sandnsea]

7. All Democrats except Nelson voted for it

The Republicans picked.

Why are people still attacking Democrats??

:shrug:

[choie]

9. because their continuing refusal

to force the repugs to filibuster stinks of cowardice -- and laziness -- that's why.

[sea four]

8. Grow a pair and create public financing of elections

That way, you won't have to serve big business anymore.

That's what they really need to do. They aren't cowards. The problem is that they depend on corporate financing to get elected. Change that, and then they will be able to find some courage.

10. I echo your anger, your disgust.

I guess they care more about their corporate masters than they do about us, the people who elected them.

Recommended.
