on SS and medicare.

every poll shows overwhelming support for both programs.

so why is it even a consideration?

we have cowards for democratic leaders, who refuse to even attempt to define the discussion, and have knowingly decided that they will not stand for the basic tenets of the democratic party. they are are too busy throwing labor under the bus, putting a woman's choice on the table by refusing to fight, kowtowing to religious bigots, enabling the wholesale dumbing down of the american citizenry, and showing they are wrapped even tighter in the american flag than the repukes.

the rightwing rich have put their money where their mouth is and dominate the airwaves, dishing out distortions and outright lies, as the truth. the leftwing rich have done nothing. there is no leftwing powerhouse news source. msnbc is, relatively, a joke, and current is still an unborn fetus (for which the rightwing would be ecstatic on hearing of THAT particular abortion).

yet it is all OUR fault for not continuing to blindly give money, give support, get out the vote, and obediently file into the voting booth and vote for pathetic, political hacks who can not disavow us fast enough.

either way, the political system has morphed to the point that the minority party (but, strangely ONLY when the republicans are minorities) can always call the shots and thwart anything the majority party wants to do.

ah, gee. i am so conflicted. do i vote for the republican agenda, or do i vote for the republican agenda?
