“They are blowing a huge mandate and sucking the wind right out of a lot of young progressive sails. These folks will never, ever come back to vote for a democratic candidate based upon the performance of the party and the president in these last 12 months. Can't blame republicans anymore. Democrats have only themselves to blame.”

“Because of all the good alternatives the Party of No is offering to each of these situations? Keep in mind that your party to replace the democrats are the problem, not the solution. Use your brain.”

“That's what I've been telling you for months.”

“And they will stay there for at least a generation.
This life long democrat will unregister from the party before the next election.”

“Now.

Two senior Democratic sources tell CNN senate Democrats are headed towards dropping the compromise idea to allow 55 to 64 year-olds to buy into Medicare because of opposition from Independent Sen. Joe Lieberman.

With out reconciliation.. what can they do? Get half of what they want and then add more legislation later on... by way of reconciliation... all they would need was 51 votes.. and Biden could cast the tie breaker even if the worse were to happen in the 2010 elections.”

It's not the Whitehouse... it's Reid.”

“if Olbermann and or Maddow report it as being true, I'll believe it.”

“the problem is not with Lieberman, the problem is the leaderless leadership by Obama and Reid

You said it brother!.”

“It is true. I hope this thing goes down in flames dragged there by bluedogs, and the bluedog president.”

“TMZ has become the most reliable news source forcelebrity news don't insult them comparing them to Politico.”

“True,

You are so right - I knew I recognized that messy face and hair -- Tonya redux - good observation.”

“Obama has stated that he will not use off-budget war supplementals -- as Bush did -- to fund these wars.”

“Yet, Sarah quits a 5k turkey day race.”

“Yep.”

“If he didn't want conservative praise he would have backed a public option.
Apparently he is looking for it.”

“That's what they want you to believe. Don't fall for their trap, it's too predictable.”

“Are you serious? Angelina Jolie? Wow!!! Now we all know all that you know.”

“No. What we need to do is accept responsibility for our actions because none of the politicians of late has ever been known to do that simple thing. Those of us who once were a part of OFA have had our backsides bruised by the reality that is American politics. We have watched carefully as the systems hunkered down into defense mode and usurped the electoral process that made its wishes clear only to witness the scoundrels in Washington do what they have always done before. We so-called progressives will do one of two things. We will either abandon the electoral process altogether and retreat into the political isolation we have learned to accept or we will be forced to continue to support the Democrats in the sure knowledge that the alternative is so twisted and foul that we simply cannot do anything else and have enough peace of mind to nurture some dim hope that right and justice may yet prevail. The 2010 election will indicate exactly where this country intends to head and at this point things look pretty bleak. The third option is to break away from the established parties and offer an alternative. Things will have to get much worse before that is likely to happen.”

“No matter what these idiots say about him, he still presses on... like it or not... He is not a quitter like some folks.”

“His puppetmasters are not going to put his fatigued finger on the reset button.”

“He always was a politician. So are the CBC members. I think a lot of us walked into this thinking changes happened overnight in a real democracy. As we are seeing with the healthcare bill, nothing comes easy, there are compromises and the outcomes are not always perfect.

We did not vote for a messiah. At least I did not. If at the end of the four years, you all still find yourselves unhappy, get into the voting booth and "vote the bums out."

Until then, a mix of patience and persistence would be wise.”

“As a progressive who volunteered and donated to Obama, I knew this last year.

I am a Kucinich guy.
But his positions so far are REALLY disappointing.

Still, better him than McSame.”

“Exactly what did you expect him to do in 10 months?”

“I ask respectfully, growing impatient in what way? What are the impatient ones doing to improve their lot in life? President Obama can't do it for them.”

“Amen.”

“Most 18 year olds are in better condition that 50 somethings, less health problems, I guess they are trying to help those who won't have jobs, homes, or money to be able to afford to take care of their health issues. We wouldn't want an epidemic would we?”

“It will get there, you just can't open up Medicare to everyone all at once. Get one age group in and then incrementally move the next.

This was Anthony Wieners plan in the house.”

“Because 18 year old's prefer illegal drugs.”

“Because we're having a hard enough time getting 60 Senate votes to begin with.”

“Worse, in many case he works to maintain the status quo.

The WH opposition to bringing back Glass-Steagall is a good example.”

“Well said. Make that 2 of us.”

“Tabloid.

Someone said Obama is just like Bush. Well, the person who said that should take a look in her gilt-framed mirror, because she's beginning to be more than just a little bit like Rupert.

“Maybe you can enlighten the people here to what the real story is.”

“That really is the extent of it. Manufactured controversy.”
