OK Bernie folks, time to test out your revolution when the GOPers refuse Obama's SCOTUS appointment.

So you've heard that the GOP scumbags are saying they'll refuse Obama's SCOTUS appointment. They will be blocking a progressive candidate to the highest court in the land. They will be violating their advise and consent duty spelled out in the Constitution. Now it is time to test out your revolution. Go to DC and bang the walls down. Insist they do their job and confirm a fair appointment to the high court. Are you up to it? Will you be ready to put your TIME and money where your mouths are? I sincerely hope so.

political revolution. Someone is mad that their candidate is finding out hugging the corpse of Henry Kissinger, professional baby killer and all around war criminal is costing her cred. Last time I looked Mr. Obama was president. That means all of us have to support his efforts.

to be on the job in DC. And he does have work to do, and it looks like he'll be doing it.

The Pukes in the Senate have a job to do as well and it doesn't look like they'll be doing theirs. Obstruction is their speciality, after all.

While the Republican "presidential" candidates were knifing each other on the debate stage and the media were yapping about Scalia's death in Texas, a Sanders rally in Denver was swarmed by way more people than had been expected.

Hillary's significant efforts to dissuade Democratic primary voters away from Bernie are not only not working but seem to have produced the opposite effect. In varying degrees across the country, her presence in the race is now generating her absence of influence.

You may already have seen this piece. If not, it's something Hillary's strategists might want to read:

Sit back while everyone else does the work? What will you be doing, besides posting taunts to a message board?

Where you insulting him by saying he couldn't get it done? And that Bernie should be the one to do it for him? Because that's what it sounds like you just said to me

here will be actively supporting President Obama, if he nominates a person for the Supreme Court.

This is a wonderful example of something far too important for petty political brat attacks.
