Congressman Emanuel Cleaver: If I were a Republican I would be having a party

[bigdarryl]

they got everything they wanted and I don't see what we(Democrats)got.DAMN!! like I said in another post bend over so you can get royally screwed

[Big Blue Marble]

1. He looked so sad and demoralized.

I thought he might cry on air. How sad for us all.

[bigdarryl]

2. looking at Cleaver says it ALL he's a straight up guy so based on what he said the dems

got nothing out of this.

[Supersedeas]

8. there is some stuff in there that many on both sides will not like

and a whole lot of stuff that a minority of right wing ideologues fought for and obtained...despite their small numbers.

[leveymg]

3. It's official. Their party just got larger by one - Barack Obama.

4. Bullshit.

The Freepers/'Baggers are claiming THEY lost to caving and capitulation.

Reality is somewhere between the two poles.

But the outrage outburst needs to spin out, so have at.

[Logical]

5. So we got revenue from the rich Cakegirl? Great!! I am happy now! n-t

6. I tell you this, it's only the extremes who are angry

When you look at this deal, there are no promises or guarantees. When it comes down to it, there will be a fight over the sticking points, but the debt ceiling can't be used as a weapon, because the GOP has agreed to raise it.

9. Unemployment rate is 9.2% -- If that deal somehow lowers that i'd love to hear your logic

[Supersedeas]

14. it is a GOP jobs bill--a night to party for Republicans

[vroomvroom]

11. You Right...GREATEST DEAL IN AMERICAN HISTORY!!!

There will be a Holiday to celebrate this revolutionary deal!
We will be talking about this genius, transformational deal for generations. They will write storybooks about this event and our children will be named after the principals.

7. I just wish that he would be honest and officially cross the aisle

but I guess the DLC has a better chance of morphing us all into the GOP by keeping him right where he is.

12. Lorien, it is part of a two pronged attack, Kochs funded both for a reason

They are supposed to pretend to be Democrats, that way Democrats will get the blame for it as well as it getting it done.

If I am right, it will take mostly Dem votes to pass this and they will get it.

Brilliant actually, so no, the plan depends on the pretense, no faux Dem will cross the aisle in honesty as it will ruin the two pronged attack.

[treestar]

10. What of the Democrats in Congress?

Aren't you going to accuse them of the same thing?

[Dragonfli]

13. Good point, lets see who votes for this GOP plan, we may identify many more, thanks! /nt

[MissDeeds]

15. Nailed it

We are so screwed.
