republicans tell 911 first responders to go fuck themselves and the nation yawns

[spanone]

and the media sleeps

[DainBramaged]

1. And we cry with them.....

:cry:

[spanone]

2. republicans use tragedy to push their agenda, then dispose of those tragically affected

[whathehell]

3. Agreed.....Compassion for the non-wealthy occurs only if such persons are

dead, distant (chilean miners), or otherwise cost-free.

[spanone]

4. democrats would be painted as unpatriotic traitors if they had killed this legislation

[whathehell]

5. If we don't learn to create our own narrative...

we'll be forever subjected to republican talking points.

How often do you think rethugs worry about how they'll be "painted"?...Rarely, I'd guess.

[rfranklin]

6. That could be because the media ignores their hypocrisy...

the outrageous lies they tell until it becomes "fact" for those who are less informed, and their constant self-enrichment.

[whathehell]

7. The media

bears a BIG share of the blame...but it's up to the Dems to either correct that or find a way around it.

You just can't "roll over".

8. and so does DU for the most part...

If DU would show as much hate for the repubs for what they just did like they now show for Obama on a daily basis, it would make DU a better place.

[EC]

9. I don't think so...

I think they are disgusted, but are worn out...we have seen that complaining, contacting reps and phoning haven't done shit...so I think it's just discouragement that is the problem - helplessness...

10. This is just another issue we should be punching them in the mouth over

Kicking them about the face and head. Body slamming them and taking the brass knuckels out.
We will not fight, we will forever lose.
