PLEASE REC: If you think we need more progressives in congress at this point in history.

I honestly don't think that if FDR came back alive and had to deal with the CURRENT crazies in congress he'd get much further than were we're at right now.


Your take?

14. There are more members of the Progressive Caucus than the Tea Party Caucus.

I think we need better, more dedicated progressives.

"I applaud Cenk Uygur for attacking "Progressive" Eric Blumenhauer’s position on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, and for exposing Congressional Democrats and President Obama as Wall Streeters and Corporatists, pandering to the rich and the establishment. I also applaud him for exposing AARP’s hypocritical and treasonous openness to Social Security cuts. "

15. If FDR had to deal with this shit, he might have decided to put the baggers in internment camps. nt

[Denver Progressive]

16. I think FDR could take 'em.

A quote from FDR: "Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me--and I welcome their hatred."
