This President is afraid of his own party!

So said Speaker Boner in one of his 30 second pressers today.

Boner, you're pitiful. But congratulations on demonstrating the first play in the Right Wing Asshole Playbook: find your biggest fault and accuse you opponent of it.

Boner is scared shitless of his caucus, particularly of the tea bag assholes.

Tough shit, Boner.

no he's not. Now make the deal. Every hour you delay, the tax rate offer decreases by 10K and 10K in "cuts" are restored.

He would listen to the base more often if he was.

If he were,
we would have a Public Option,

NAFTA would have been "re-negotiated",

Some Wall Street Crooks would have serious Butt Hurt instead of BONUSES,

EFCA would have a President fighting for it from the White House podium,

the Bush tax Cuts would have expired in 2010,
and the Reagan Tax Cuts would be targeted for termination,

Monsanto would NOT be running the Dept of Agriculture and the FDA,

Medical MJ Clinics would be open,

and Social Security cuts would have NEVER been brought to the table.



I WISH this President was afraid of his own party!
I wish there WERE an old style Democratic Party to be afraid OF.
.

.
In fact, my Christmas Wish:
Santa,
Please bring me a Democratic Party
like the one I remember.

You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their rhetoric, promises, or excuses.
