Media spin.. "The Democrats are the mother-in-law from hell"
:grr:

ready to criticize, but offering no remedies..

THIS shit has to stop..

It's NOT up to the MINORITY party to do that.

The party in charge (repubes) have F'ed up EVERYTHING they have touched..and all of a sudden it's up to the dems to FIX it?

Well we seem to always be cleaning up republican messes ...all the way back to Hoover..it's what we do best..

It's time for some dems to step up and just say it out loud..

There is NO way on earth that dems COULD have answers right now to all the indignities the republicans have heaped on society over 5 years.. Dems have deliberately been left OUT of the decision-making, and who KNOWS what shit they will discover when they lift up that rug.. Repubes have been stashing stuff under that rug for 6 years now.. Who knows what's under it..

Dems just need to step up and remind people that whenever there has been a bad period in history (republican rule), a democrat has always stepped up and straightened things out. That they still want to, is the marvel.

Whenever a punk-pundit says.."Where are YOUR solutions?" the dem being interrogated needs to just say.."Where does one start?..Pretty much everything has been f'ed up by the ruling party"..and then remind everyone that first there must be a realistic assessment of the damage done, and then a methodical plan to correct the mess..

1. I heard David Corn respond BRILLIANTLY to this on CSPAN...
He was on Washington Journal. He said it's totally unfair to ask the minority party what they would do. It's not even POSSIBLE TO DO anything.

2. The Democrats Are More To Blame...
Because they didn't figure out a way to work around the concrete rules of the senate, and convince the repubs to act on the Democrats agenda.

But, it's not the fault of the repubs. They were at least trying. Even though they got us into a complete mess with EVERYTHING they touched, can you blame them for at least trying.

The Dems did not figure out a way around the repubs screw ups, for if they had, we wouldn't be in this mess, and thus, they are clearly at fault.

:sarcasm:

Have I got the Corporate Media Whore logic down now?

4. Except for the part that on the occasions where they were able to throw a.
monkey wrench into this disaster of an administration, then they get labeled as "obstructionists"

3. Who said that?
Worse, the Democratic party has offered many solutions to Republican problems. The media chooses not to report them.

5. I did not catch his name, but it was some rightwing radio "host"
These freaks are all over the "msm" these days.. and of course, when they even include a liberal host, it's usually someone who is patient, and lets them do all the talking..

The pool of possibilities on their side is so much deeper, I am surprised they even HAVE anyone on the left :(
