Could you imagine in a Republican Congress, Senate and White House

giving in on abortion???

Do you think they would say, "well, we need this bill, so we're gonna fund abortions, because we need a couple of democratic votes"

What the hell is wrong with this picture???

1. I don't know. I want Dems who can FIGHT. And are willing to do so!!!

2. where are they? republicans rammed their shit through... I expect the same from Dems!

common ground, bipartisanship, and concessions spells the death knell for democratic party in power, imho.

It is nothing but a sell out and the sooner people start believing it, the better off us lefties will be!

3. It's pretty damn pathetic, isn't it?

I swear some of our Dems seem interested ONLY in treating them like THEY won, like THEY'RE the majority party, like THEY'RE really supposed to be calling the shots. WTF??????????????

And for me, it also gets down to one really simple issue. If they can't even stand up to the republi-CONS on the matter of botching the very NAME of our party, how the hell can they stand up to the republi-CONS on anything else???

And yes, I'm committing the same offense: republi-CONS instead of "Republicans." I, too, can do this deliberately, just like they can. And I will continue to do so unless and/or until they start using the proper name of our party and not the one they think should be our name.

4. Bush Pushed through $52 Billion for Homeland Security in what.... 2 days?

The Peace Dividend is not popular. Main Stream Media depends on constant war to sell toothpaste and soap powder.

If we buy the toothpaste and soap powder.. then GE and Raytheon can make Million Dollar Missiles, LRAD'S and expensive drone aircraft.

If you have Cancer, Aids, MS, Leukemia or Cerebral Palsy.. we have no money for you.. it just isn't that important.
