I am pulling my other peace train and letting this one hit the rails.. Seriously, just ram it through, congress.. ram it through.

Health Care, Sotomayor, The Environment, DADT, just ram it through.

I am tired to death of molleycoddling the right, to try and bring them along. You give, and you give and you give..and what do you get back..

3. But,but,but we MUST have bipartisanshit.
Don't you remember how nice we were treated by Gingrich, DeLay, and Frist in the 90s? Why be mean now just because we control things?

7. They have to have
the WHOLE pie when they are in total control. and their fingers in it when they are the minority.

I say if they aren't going to vote FOR anything then the "concessions" or their "amendments" to a given bill should be scraped off and passed without any further imput from the right.

Fuckers.

they "pork" up a Bill then vote against it just so they can say how they voted against all that "pork".

slimy, slithering, sub-reptilian fuckers!

13.  A steamroller is about the size of it Pretzel...If I have to hear one more whining republican
I am going to scream. I just cannot handle their fear of future, almost wetting their pants, at moving forward. I just do not want to hand hold anymore. The more we give them, the louder they whine. How many amendments have they put in the cap and trade bill, the health bill.. and still they are like two year olds kicking and screaming in the store.

10. The worst all around is when you give them what they want and they still vote it down
So the original bill is just a shadow of what it was. I bet that's been their strategy all along. Water it all down then vote against it.
