Hey, so what if Claire McCaskill and Max Baucus join with the Republicans in sending the US economy into a Depression. They’ll have done the principled thing because, as everyone knows, the House and Senate Republicans are always looking out for the people’s best interest.
Folks, this is a bill supported by George Bush’s White House, for Christ’s sake. The House and Senate Republicans are playing politics, just as they always do, as the economy is about to take an even more serious dive. This is when Democrats had better grow a pair of balls and do something, public, fast to tell the American people about exactly what’s coming if we let the automakers go bankrupt. I don’t like the doom and gloom talk, as I think it generally makes things worse as you freak consumers (and Wall Street) out. But if it means telling folks that we risk plunging the country into a Depression, and if it’s true, then tell people, now.
This is what happens when you become a political party with no spine. Bullies stand up to you because they know they can. It’s time to show them that they can’t, or the next 4 years of the Obama administration are going to be one GOP filibuster after another, just hoping to send us into a greater and greater Depression so that the Republicans can win the Congress and the White House back. That appears to be the GOP plan – send the country into chaos, just as they did when they shut down the government during Clinton’s presidency. The Republican party is run by maniacs. It’s time to call them on it. Or seriously, there’s no reason for Democrats to control the government if they can’t learn to lead.</em>
So true. And sadly, I truly believe they are both so corrupt, being as they are an integral part of a completely amoral political ponzi scheme, and stupidly craven as to be the Washington Generals to the Harlem Globetrotters, sure they show up…and that’s about it. There is a simple reason congress has a lower approval rating than bush- because we the fucking people know you could have stopped it- all- if you had done your job, nutted up, and stopped him…but you didn’t. Debate the reasons, but when a parent doesn’t discipline a child, do you blame the child?
If the dems can’t stop the GOP from torching our economy to crush a union, and hence, all unions from that moment forward, then we need to turn them out by whatever means necessary.
