“"It is smart politics to try to tarnish it and make it look less like an achievement and more like some sort of corrupted bargain."
Oh. It's only politics. And to think I believed the Senate Bill REALLY was tainted and corrupt.
My bad.”

“I don't want to fly with bombs, I'M SICK AND TIRED of being treated like someone who is carrying one, and I'M SICK AND TIRED of going airports 2 hours before my flight and waiting in endless lines.
If the scanner fixes these problems, then I could give a hoot about any invasion of my or your "privacy."”

You have seen how long it takes to go through the scanner. This won't shorten the waiting time, especially since there aren't many of them.”

Senate Democrats Tell White House: Drop Cap And Trade Climate Change Bill

“Landrieu is hardly a "moderate" Democrat. I suppose with the Teabagger right dominating the Repubs, conservative has become the new moderate.
At any rate, if Landrieu is a Democrat - whether conservative or moderate - then I must be a Green, because she doesn't fit into my tent. Nor do any Blue Dogs.
I don't care if she wins or if any of them win. Having a so-called majority but having to edit all legislation to the satisfaction of representatives who live in the South or other red states is absurd.
Time for a multi Party System.”

“Straight talk from McCain?
BWWWAAHAAAAAA
The "maverick" who sold his soul to the far right and brought us all Sarah Palin to suffer with for the next 1o years in a pathetic bid to become elected President.
The lying scumball who scolded Al Franken with a straight face, as his Party of No was stalling the Health Care Vote, that never in his 30 years in the Senate had any Senator been denied 30 seconds extra time to speak. When he himself did that during the lead up to freaking Iraq!
He is so done that if you stuck a fork in him he would crumble.”

“Because the so called 60 vote Democratic majority in the Senate is a sham when many of them are "Blue Dogs" i.e. elected from states so backwards that what passes for a "Democrat" there would be considered a right wing stooge in NYC, Boston, SF, LA, Chicago, Portland or Seattle.
Because the Republican minority is so breathtakingly reactionary and lacking any semblance of sanity, intelligence, and bipartisanship, they are united in opposition to anything that smells like reform of a corrupt system that lines their pockets and gets them re-elected.
Because too many Democratic Senators are equally corrupt and bought and paid for by the industry they purport to reform and regulate.
Because the President is: a) cynically caving into to that reality with no attempt to resist it; b) is in on the take; or c) both of the above.
It would be funny if lives weren't at stake.”

“Yo John. Read my lips.
Your single act of choosing Sarah Palin as VP did more to advance the march of divisive partisanship than any 20 things Obama has done in his scant one year in office. Indeed, progressives think he was a patsy running a fool's errand trying to placate the intransigent Party of No.
And your little Caribou Barbie, meanwhile, epitomizes the faith based intolerance that has infected your Party and reduced it to nothing more than an extremist cult of loud, angry, brainwashed, ignorant, hateful, bigoted constituents.
And has stripped you of the mythic "maverick" label and turned you into the most unconvincing far right stooge since Michale Steele, pimping for votes from the worst segment of our society.
How do you live with yourself?”

“Rahm Emanuel and his boss say "screw the left" , and make deals with so-called "Democrats" like this piece of work, other "Blue Dogs", and let's not forget the execrable ex-Democrat, Lieberman.
Result ?
Legions of progressives and the hard care Democrat base have become alienated and (even more) cynical, and will stay home from the polls in 2010. Others (like my son) have registered with the Green Party in protest.
I'm not far behind in that. The tents in both parties have become too big to fit everyone underneath, and the compromises required to make the margins happy are intolerable .
And I can't see myself as being in the "same" Party with Ben Nelson. If he's a "Democrat", then I MUST be Green.”
