Reply #210: Real rope a dope

would have been letting the fascists focus their energy on Jones while passing meaningful health care reform.
This victory allows the fascists to concentrate on defeating real health care reform. Every move the Administration makes to capitulate suggests weakness and continued minority rule. And they rule because they never show weakness. Democrats are far too concerned with the wrath of the Republican fringe than losing their base.
I got some news for the Democrats. The base is slipping away and just might send money to whoever runs against Baucus, Conrad, Landrieu, Liebermann and any other Senate turn coat. These Quislings must be purged from the party, even if it means supporting Republicans to get it done.
My message to the DSCC fund raising call yesterday was "Not one more dime until health care reform with a strong public option is passed."
Republicans are classic abusers. The more you give in the more they demand. The fact that Democrats can't enact their agenda with large majorities tells me elections don't matter.
