Grancart just made an excellent point - It is the DEMS that are united, not the repigs.
The Democrats just passed Major legislation ON OUR OWN. Did the pundits NOT see how "fucking" happy they are as Obama signed this bill into law? The majority of Democrats are celebrating right now. We got a win and our mojo is back!

The Pigs and their Teabaggers? They are blaming each other for what went wrong... they just suffered a major blow. Dick Armey dissed the teabaggers yesterday. David Frum is on every news show talking about how the repigs screwed up. C'mon - they are a joke!


So Pundits - GET IT RIGHT FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE! And quit feeding us your BS. The Dems are the party that is UNITED and are going to fight like hell to retain control of Congress and fight hard for even more Progressive leaders. Stop telling us otherwise.

1. I have never seen the pundits work so hard at taking away
from history. Makes you think the Texas Board of Education have tools all over the media.

2. the Republicans are united in opposition but divided for something

Nothing is more obvious than the fact that McCain, the Republican standard bearer, is down to a 7 point lead in the Arizona Republican Primary.

The big unreported story is that the Republican civil war, long predicted by many at DU, has already begun in earnest.

3. We did it without conservatives.
Regardless of the letter by their name.

4. Not only that, but some republicons wanted to go along with HCR
just so they could get SOMETHING, but their leadership hung them out to dry. So Snowe, Collins, and the few other moderates left in the party could have gotten something from this bill, but they end up with nothing. They have to harbor a lot of resentment over the strong-arm tactics their leaders employed to keep them in line.

6. They should harbor resentment..if
they're interested at all in their constituents.

7. It was on Politico

Regardless of who yelled what, the reports themselves could be problematic for the tea party movement, said Adam Brandon, a spokesman for FreedomWorks, the small government group that helped organize tea partiers’ congressional office visits last week.

“Tattoos last forever,” said Brandon, quoting his boss, FreedomWorks chairman and former House Republican Leader Dick Armey. “If the movement gets tattooed as at all sympathetic to those (racist and homophobic) views, I won’t want to be involved in it anymore. It’s very distracting not only to our side but also to the debate and the country.”

8. It's not a tattoo.
It's a birthmark.

9. Thank you! Poor thing is
all worried about tatoos.

Where's he been? It's already deservedly branded.
