    Are you on crack, Rufus?

    How is the gop going to stop anything we put through? How? they have lost every election since 06. nov is going to wipe them out. They are going to be a slim minority. They cna only stand strong if they have the numbers. They did in the past, they do now (as the blue dog sell-outs might as well be rethugs). But nov that ends. Obama and the dem's will reverse the game. With obama at the helm the gop will be irrelevant for 30 years.

    Bull

    FUCKING

    SHIT!

    The Republitards were able to gum up the works back in 1993-94 and are doing it today. Why? Because of gutless wonders like Steny Hoyer and complacent morons who think all is well -like a retarded Dr. Pangloss.

    Calm down, everybody. Take a breather.

    I'm sick and goddamned tired of spineless democrats with severe Stockholm Syndrome who can't wait to get on their knees for the Right while gurgling "Oh it's not so bad!".

    This is the gop's issue.

    More bullshit. Whoever helps to pass this bill or does nothing to stop it is a scumbag who needs a primary challenger in the next election. It might be too late this year, but names need to be taken and these fucktards need to be removed.

    If you want to hold someone responsible hold them resonsible at the ballot box. Oh, and your elected representatives, like obama.

    I intend to.

    but be careful with the demands. Obama has done an enormous amount of good for the progressive movement. We're about to take over. don't sell him out now, when we're about to win.

    I would have voted for Lieberman or Hillary if I wanted that kind of bullshit. Besides, if someone lacks the courage to stand up for something during the election, they won't stand up for it when they take office.

    Take the good with the bad. Hold him to account.

    The two are mutually exclusive, moron.

    But take it easy, take a breather and think about the big picture. Think of the grand sceme of things.

    Take your Panglossian horseshit and shove it WAY up your ass! It's gutless worms like you that are the reason a million Iraqis and 4000 Americans are dead.
