What's wrong with the Democratic Party? I'll tell you...

37. I never suggested we walk away. I suggested we fight. But watch how the teabillies do it.

While Dems were waving their compromise flags in the US Senate, the Tea Party went back to the states and kicked our asses locally. Now they have gerrymandered the hell out of 2/3 of the states and practically rewrote all the rules of voting to exclude as many of our constituencies as possible and make it much easier to steal elections. We stood by and let them do it and let them use bullshit excuses and lies about protecting democracy. Those fuckers hate democracy. A few people spoke up a few times on MSNBC but that was it. It should have been on someone's lips on every Sunday talk show on every show a Dem showed up on.

How many bills did our Democratic leaders advance to overturn any of it?

How many bills did they advance to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine so that hate radio lies aren't pouring out of every hicks radio 24/7?

How many times did our guys stand up in front of the cameras and call the repugs what they are, what everyone can see that they are? You know....racist, sexist, homophobic, corporate ass kissers who never miss an opportunity to knife a working person in the back. Yes, you could say that a little nicer. But not much. Because it isn't a bullshit lie like calling Obama a socialist Kenyan. It's the fucking truth and you could prove it every time.

You want to know why people are pissed at Obama? It's because Obama looked and sounded like a fighter when he was running in 2007 and 2008. And with a few exceptions he hasn't looked like it since. If the Harlem Globetrotters were swishing them from half court and stuffing the basketball up to their armpit during warmups and then played like they "respected" the Generals during the game and didn't want to run up the score and lost more than half of their games, no one would come back and watch another game.

Politics is a blood sport. It is time we recognized it, played like it and left some of theirs on the floor.
