6. Also "we don't have the votes..." In which case, I find myself asking (as so many have) "what would Mitch McConnell do?"

This was the kind of the thing, Pam Keith, I think it was, was talking about on the Dean Obeidallah Show (April 16).

She was pretty well livid about our elected officials essentially making excuses and telling the rest of us we need to be out in the streets (I went to my community's Hands Off today, btw).
She also pointed out how the Rs were in lockstep and absolutely unified -- something I thought about during the faux SOTU; how they all clapped together like trained seals.

Yes, I do recall Clyburn saying he was doing town halls, etc., but I really didn't like the emphasis being placed on "we don't have the votes" and "but the media..."
